3/29/16 - NT Nights @ Hboro Library

WARNING!!!  This is a photo-heavy post!!!

Welcome to this month's meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Night Bee!!  We were missing a number of people and a couple more returned from "sick leave."  Even so, there were 8 members enjoying a relaxing meeting.  There was lots of easy chatter and a little...

Show and Tell!!!

True to form, Margaret was the first one to arrive at the meeting.  She had a clever project to share.  Here is her Sew Together Bag, which was made using THIS tutorial.

The exterior:


And...  The interior:


THIS adorable little gadget was made by Margaret several years ago:


Cheryl B. was also an early bird.  She worked on burying threads on one of her client quilts and brought another  two BIG, beautiful quilts to show off:


Here's a full shot, because you KNOW that we have to see the whole thing:


Carol, Jill and Joy arrived in a clump.

Jill got busy on the binding of a Donation Quilt:


Sorry!!!  I somehow missed the shot of her holding the quilt up for everyone to get a good look.  :o((

Joy trimmed O's T-quilt:


Ignore that blue and beige quilt!  Here's the "picture proof" (top right corner of photo shown below) that it's ready for binding:


Carol told us all about the new hardware in her ankle.  She's shown here with our other recovering surgical case, Margaret:



Karen, Britt, and Bo trickled into the meeting room and brought things to share.

Karen made a Fidget Quilt for the Memory Care Unit at Carol Woods:


She THOUGHT she could escape the camera, but I don't THINK so:


Britt quilted the interior of her M2 Mystery Quilt:


LOOK at the backing fabric!!  It's PERFECT for the quilt:



Britt asked for opinions regarding the quilting of the borders, then unrolled her latest landscape quilt:


Bo brought Margaret's quilt back from being quilted on her Statler Stitcher:



 Jamestown Landing Quilt (straight off the longarm.)  It turned out beautifully...

On the floor:


Being held up for a photo:


Up close and personal:


Any way you look at it, it's a beauty and here is a "glamour" shot to prove it:

We had a very nice visit (and some of us got some work done, too)...

Britt cutting the binding for her M2 Mystery:


Cheryl working on binding of one her quilts for a son:


Look at the difference, but each is gorgeous in its own right:



...  And some of us didn't...

Bo was another one who thought that she could hide from the camera:


Maybe...


... Maybe NOT:


Margaret brought her applique project and finished another leaf:



Then ended up looking through a magazine:


Carol was pleased to be with us and enjoyed chatting:



Until next time...
Spring into QUILTS!!!
