December 16th Quilt Celebrations!

On Tuesday evening, we had a fun show-and-tell.

First, Susy showed the darling knight outfits she made for her grandsons.

Aren't they great?!

Then Geralyn shared a quilt she has helped with over a period of time. Sister Valerie did the machine embroidery.  Geralyn used her expertise to help straighten out some difficulties that surfaced over the construction time.  There's minky on the back and the big lettering is ultra-suede.

Thanks for sharing, Geralyn!

Shirley brought a project she's had going for a long time.  Isn't it striking?  She doesn't remember the name of the pattern, but it reminds me of Carpenter's Square.  Such a great use of two colors!

Beautiful work, Shirley!

This is a quilt I put together for a friend of mine using a Thimbleberries kit that her mom, Carmen, purchased in 2009 or so.  Carmen passed away this year and my friend wanted to have the quilt completed.  Barb did the quilting and nailed it, again!  Beautiful work, Barb!

Happy Quilting and a Blessed Christmas to all!

Christmas Party

Our Christmas Party was a delightful evening.

We missed those of you who couldn't be with us!

Here are the two best shots captured of the group of us.

A Blessed Christmas to all of you!

November 25th and December 2nd Quilt Celebrations!

Last week we had three quilts to celebrate.

First, Theresa shared a hexi quilt she made for Linus.
It's so cheerful!

Theresa, thank you for all you do to keep Linus running and to continue the flow of blessing to the children who are in need of love and encouragement.

Diana shared a sweet baby quilt.  She said when she started it, the couple wasn't going to find out the gender of their baby, so she went with colors that could go either way.  Then the couple decided to "peek" and they are having a girl!  There is no doubt either boy or girl will spend lots of time looking at these wonderful colors and interesting shapes.

Nicely done, Diana!

Speedy Carolann is the first to complete a quilt using the blocks from our four-patch exchange.  It's fitting since she was the first to get all her blocks done.  300 in one night!

Isn't it charming?  No mess, no fuss, just fun lights and darks that sparkle.  The Baptist Fan quilting is fun, too.

Beautiful, Carolann.

This week, Sharon brought her Winding Ways quilt done in brown and tan.  It is so striking.  She did the piecing and Bill did the quilting.

Lovely job, Sharon!

Happy Quilting!!
