 what a great day we had....so many wonderful things to see.. Here's Joan's Witchy quilt with their legs hanging over their brooms.. As usual, with Joan...extremely well done.  Here's Marilyn showing us her snuggly mittens that are so warm... and here are her mug rugs...she's been busy.  Sheila brought in a wonderful lap quilt that Ann did for her. Such good friends. Leigh's bags...she comes up with the nicest bags..I love this one, with its buttons and embroidery , not to mention the gorgeous batiks.  and here's another colorful and practical purse.  I have a feeling she has more purses than I do and that is saying something because I am a quilted bag nut!!

We're Back!

Odds and ends and "leftovers"...works for me. You had a busy summer, Joan.  Sandra bought the pattern and it was reasonable but the ruler to make it was a little more dear. Oh well....it's important to have the right tools...  I like this project... a small cutting board carrier with pockets for 'stuff'....  Lilliane made her sewing machine mat, thread catcher and pin cushion.  She sure has a knack for putting together the right fabrics and colours.  Would you believe that Ellen is in
