  I should know what this pattern is called, but I don't....my bad.  I do know that this is Marion's quilt done in blues and it is gorgeous.  I believe she will be having it quilted by machine.   Marilyn is always sending out small projects and simple quilt patterns and this is one she sent out for Valentine's day ...Marion got hers done....a log cabin with curves added. Linda did this four patch with minke backing. She did it on her long arm that she has set up in her home. we are all wondering if she has an extra bedroom for the rest of us to come quilt. Marilyn cleaned up some scraps and put together this scrappy nine with coordinated centres .....looks great! This is Dianne's quilt...that one that looks like it is Celtic tiles to me. Amazing how very different they all look.  Great job! Ordinarily I would be continuing with the project day's pictures but ol' man winter did a number on us and the second meeting in the month was cancelled. 

Beginning another year!

What a great year this is going to be. It is our 30th anniversary. Plus we have a centigenerian (sp?)  in our group that we are all in awe of. She amazes us all...more about that in March! Here's Marlene hiding behind this sweet comfort quilt she made. It will go to a family most deserving.  Kay brought this beauty...May flower is it called...... that her daughter put together for her.  Kay is going to quilt it and hold it in reserve for a grandchild getting married. What a wonderful gift! Judy got out her tatting shuttle and made these sweet Christmas decorations.  She also got into the glue for stiffening....I think she has shares in Elmer's Glue...  Agate finally got some time for her own things and put together this beautiful trip around the world and added some applique. Her lucky daughter will be the recipient. Here's another applique practise and usage of her stash. She thinks she is going to clean up her stash....should we tell her it multiplies whe

A new year, a new beginning!

 HOw's this for a start to the new year.. Beth made this gorgeous...very masculine quilt for her grand son....picture doesn't do it justice.  Show and tell is show and tell..  this beautiful ring is Linda's and we all oohed and aahed and envied.  Lucky woman! Marion made her scissor holder over the holidays and.... brought in this beautiful table cloth that Wendy made for her...that gorgeous fabric that we wouldn't let her cut but Marilyn bought and ended up cutting. I do love the border on this as well.  She did an amazing job!  Judith made this reversible table topper using only two fabrics...here you can see how great it looks on both sides.  Marilyn has been knitting up a storm and made herself a pair of slippers...not for the hands...they are for the feet...lol! This beauty is made from 5 inch squares...left over Christmas fabric and a new technique...easy peasy....half square triangles in a big way.  would work great on a swap of nine patches t
