Bea has been busy...here are some pillowcases she made with gorgeous flowered fabric.,,,  and a sweet table runner, all Christmas-y and bright.. Ever practical, Leigh used this left over strip of Celtic work she had done for something else and turned it into a wall hanging.  Now this was interesting, she brought in the fabric she used in her folded fabric candle mat to show just how unique it would turn out with different aspects of the fabric. This is another folded technique...just a little different with a curve instead of straight sides..love the leafy look of it.  Judith made his and hers pillowcases. and showed her block of the  month squares..the first in the row by row quilt.  Sandra has been doing some needle felting and brought in this little chick-a-dee for us to admire...so cute and life like.

we are finishing up our Magic Eight technique and here is Janice's.  She chose two colours that fit her home decor. Almost done , only a little more quilting and binding and it will be displayed in her home.  Ruth brought her Christmas coloured theme along to get suggestions on how to organize.  Love the directional fabric...she is a brave girl to use them...I always get them turned the wrong way.

This is her roaring waves...the project for September...Hers is all ready to be quilted.  She made great colour choices as they really pop and show the waves the way they should be.  This is Marilyn's Magic Eight project...the October project...how to make eight half square triangles in one go.  Can make a quilt or a table runner or whatever you want ...a fast and easy way to make HST's. The nimble fingers of the morning quilters finished this Chemo quilt in the morning.  This one belongs to Marilyn and she will finish the binding...isn't it bright and cheerful?  Ethel got the fabric for this nine patch a while ago and in between her road running and other projects she finished this comfort quilt top and even got the binding prepared...now the ladies will hand quilt it.
