Quilt May 28 Meeting

First off CONGRATS to Margee ..... her grandson Murphy David made his appearance on Tuesday. Mom and Murphy ( 9 lbs and 4 oz) are doing fine.

Second WELCOME to Elaine and Doris who stopped by to visit our group. We hope you guys will join our Stitchers Group ....... more the merrier.

We were alittle thin on members this week ...... so not many photos for viewing.

Nancy's quilts for the twin girls are finished and they are so adorable. Love those kitties.







Carol works on finishing her binding on this pretty floral quilt.



Marilyn is relating the story behind her hand stitched grandmother's garden blocks to Clarice. I believe Marilyn stated these about 20 yrs ago. We love those 1980's fabrics.



When Marilyn was in Columbus last week she stopped in at the Glass Thimble and Quilt Beginnings. She brought us back these 2 new notions. Left is a threader that has a cutter on the other side, perfect for airline travel. Right is Chalk Cartridge Set for quilt marking. We can't wait to try them out. (sorry the photo is out of focus)

Betty has finished her Charlie Brown print quilt for Project Linus. It is too adorable.

Judy (left) continues with her cross stitch project from last week. Clarice (right) continues to work on the embroidery project her mother stated many years ago.

No photo of me but I worked on the binding of a donation baby quilt ..........

See you next week, June 4.

Don't forget we're having our goodbye lunch for Sharon at DaVincis in Williamstown .... let Marilyn know if you're attending.

Quilt May 21 Meeting

A big WELCOME to Judy who joined our group today. We're so happy to increase our little group. Judy loves to cross stitch. She's working on this project .... photo of one of her granddaughters. You send a photo to the company who in turn charts it, assigns colors and returns it to you. This photo doesn't do a thing for the project .... it was fantastic.




Nancy is working on a new girl quilt ...... remember those twins that were to be boys but .... he he he were girls.




Becky is hand quilting that adorable table runner she made at the "outhouse quilt retreat".

Check out Sharon's bee ..... can you hear him buzzzzzing

Margee made a commitment to herself the beginning of the year to learn how to applique. Sharon taught Margee her method of applique today.

Now for the hand stitching .... adorable humming bird.

A friend's ex-MIL passed away recently. Her stash landed at my house where I sorted everything. Nancy is busy picking her favorites to add to her stash.

This was also in the box. I hope to be able to finish it in some manner. Any ideas?


Also in the box were batting wrappers with patterns from the 1950's.


Helen is checking out some of the books from the MIL stash also books from my, Sharon's and Marilyn's (our leader) stash.



Betty is almost finished with her baby quilt from 2 weeks ago. She learned a new technique for binding today.



Helen is making this adorable little quilt. The colors, pink and blue, are nice and bright.


Nancy must of learned a few new things today ...... check it out she's writing in her quilt journal .... way to go Nancy.



Nancy and Betty are learning the ladder stitch from Marilyn. Love that ladder stitch .... it's so great for lots of things like applique and bindings.

Marilyn and Becky are planning something I do believe.

We missed Carol, Michiel, Cathy and Sharyn today ...... hope to see you next week.

See you next week, May 28.

It's Us, THE STITCHERS GROUP

Hello, we are The Stitchers Group. We meet every Wednesday (except School snow days) at St. Margaret Mary Parish Hall at 9AM.

We are members of various Church's in the area and various denominations.

Everyone is invited whether you sew, knit, crochet, cross stitch, quilt or whatever is your passion. We have a wonderful space to work in, coffee, tea, micro and even a couple loaner sewing machines. Come out and join us ...... everyone is Welcome.

Here's a few photos of us ...................

Margee

We, The Stitchers, are new to blogging so we thought we'd go ahead and post some of our project completed before we became 'bloggers'.

Rita (Margee's sister) visit often from Delaware.

February 6 Meeting

Only 1 photo from this weeks meeting .... I had camera problems.





Marilyn brought her wedding ring quilt she started in 1988 ... hand piecing. Isn't it pretty!!!!



Carol joined us this week and we were so happy to see her. She worked on the binding of her Delectable Mountain quilt. It's very pretty.

Margee continued on her cross stitch for DD#2 who is expecting a baby boy.

Nancy got started on constructing a panel for her Delectable Mountain quilt.

I worked on binding a charity quilt for Project Linus.

January 30 Meeting

We're a versatile group ... well some of us are. We all quilt but some have other hobbies like knitting, embroidery and cross stitch. Now I'm sticking to my guns .... I'm not starting any new hobbies. LOL

Today after our regular Stitcher Group we went out to lunch to Chams Lebanese restaurant. A wonderful Lebanese restaurant opened downtown back in 2006.

I must say we had a good time. One of the owners came over to explain to me what each dish was and how it's made ... see this was my first time at the restaurant.

After lunch we went across the street to the Market Yarn Store









and next door to Sew Creative.
Both are nice shops and owned by a couple who moved here from Virginia. Sew Creative is fairly new and just receiving some nice fabrics. It was a nice day spent with friends.
