May 6

Everyone is WELCOME to join us whether you sew/quilt or not ..... Lucy knits/crochets as does Delores. Oh almost forgot Becky also knits as well as quilts. We're diverse .... we'll be happy to help anyone who wishes to learn ...... hey you might teach us too.

Thanks Doris for opening up the building for us. I believe we were 11 in attendance today.

This bag belongs to Michiel who purchased it at Borders. It is very neat and made from oil cloth or something like oil cloth. I think grocery bags would be perfect from oil cloth.

Now isn't this the sweetest pink/green Turning 20 quilt ...... Betty's granddaughter is going to be thrilled with her new twin quilt.

A few meetings back (April 1) Lucy fell in love with an animal fabric panel that Nancy purchased. The store was out of the panel so Lucy bought herself yardage to make a quilt for her "future GC". Lucy doesn't sew (she knits/crochets) so I offered to help Lucy out. I took her sweet animals home and quilted it for her.

Hey a photo of me ....... I'm always taking photos so you rarely see me ...... he he he

I used the Ebb & Flow pantograph by Lorien Quilting but turned the fabric on my Nolting lengthwise so it has more of a leaf looking type motif.

Check out Margee's black/white with touch of red blocks .... are they not yummy. It's going to make a beautiful queen size quilt.

Debbie wow'ed us with her fabric selection in this 9 patch ...... love all the circles and squzzels.

Now remember last week when I showed you Lucy's knitting project ......... she told me today that she was making matching scarfs for one of her son's and his wife. By the way, Lucy has six sons.

Michiel is getting ready to handsew down the binding on this king size log cabin. This quilt will be raffled to raise money for the local Catholic Schools.

Nancy is going to help Michiel with the binding ...... they hope to have it ready for tomorrow which is Grandparents day at the School.

Oh Helen I didn't take your photo ..... Helen worked on her Turning 20 from last week.

And look what Lucy gave to me for quilting her yardage .... I love it ... Thanks Lucy.

That's all for today. Marilyn will be back next week (we think).

April 1 ... No April Fool

Three (3) additional quilts for Gabriel Project.

Michiel and Marilyn made this king size log cabin. It will be a opportunity quilt to raise money for the local Catholic Schools.

Check this out Lucy our resident knitter has crossed over to quilting. Yea Lucy. This animal quilt will be for one of her future grandchildren.

Michiel is hand quilting her house quilt. I love that quilt.

Helen is working on a Turning Twenty.

And Margie finally has all the fabrics for her black, white and red square in a square.

See you in two (2) weeks ........ remember everyone is WELCOME to join us.

March 5 Meeting

Yahoo .... at last the weather cooperated today and most of us were in attendance. Get well soon Margee, we missed you. We have lots of quilts to show off today.

AND a very big WELCOME to Cathy and Sharyn. They're taking Marilyn's FREE beginner quilting classes (8 weeks (now through April)). Don't they look very studious.

Classes are free and open to anyone.

Our Becky brought 3 quilts today to show off. First is an oriental pattern ... it's beautiful.

I forgot to get the name of this pattern but we love the vintage looking fabrics especially the rose ones. A couple more borders and this one will be off to Becky's long armer.

This treasure might go missing from Becky's house. We all fell in love with it. Becky's mother made the top ... all men's wool suiting fabrics. Becky tied it and finished off the binding today.

Marilyn's Ohio Star for her grandson is fabulous. She purchased the embroidered blocks and did the photo transfer herself. We can't wait to see it after it's long armed.

Ellie's Delectable Mountains ... isn't it out of this world. It's all hand quilted too.

Sandy showed off a couple quilts. These 2 are for returning Troops.

This one plus 5 others were donated to Habitat House in Franklin, WV

After show'n'tell everyone got to work on their projects.

Helen is working on an adorable baby quilt.

Sharon is working on her Puppy Dog quilt ... it is too adorable.

Nancy ponders her Alaskan landscape.

Sandy continues binding a charity quilt. Marilyn helps us all and gets ready for the new quilting ladies.
