Our group Raffle Quilt!

Thank you, Susie and Geralyn for bringing it in on time!

Ruth shared these 3, 2 of which are "Chicken" quilts!  So much fun.

There's a feed sack on the back of the first one.

The third is a friendship quilt made over a 3-year period.

Wonderful, Ruth!

She also brought a "left-overs" quilt that looks anything but leftover!

Beautiful, Rachelle!  Well done.

also known as a second front!

Lovely work, Pat!

Wonderful, Ruth!

Happy Quilting!!

Celebrations on February 9th!

Last night we had a real treat in getting a little preview of some of Geralyn's quilts.  I'm so looking forward to the quilt show!!

This first one she quilted twice.  Yikes!  The batting shredded, was replaced by the batting company, the quilt was "unquilted" by her husband Ron, and then quilted again.  I think it's beautiful.

This is one she saw in Rupert, Idaho, bought the pattern, came home and decided she wanted the kit.  They happened to have one left!  This is just so stunning.  The picture definitely doesn't do it justice.

And the back.

This is made from a block exchange.  I love the sashing and border treatments!

This is the back.

This is also from a block exchange.

And the back.

This last one is a Lois Stoltenberg.

Gorgeous, as always.

Amazing work, Geralyn!

Carolann made this top and Rachelle quilted it for Linus.

Beautiful, ladies!

* * * * * * *

These are seasonal in nature and Linus doesn't do seasonal,

so Rachelle worked them up for the Country Store.

Thank you, Rachelle!

This is the back of the Rockwell piece.

Beautiful work, Rachelle.  Bless you!

I shared my Little Blue Baskets quilt which I designed last year.

I wish I'd made it bigger!

Happy Quilting!!
