7/26/16 - NT Nights @ Hboro Library

Welcome to the July meeting of the Nimble Thimbles evening group!!  This month seven of us were relegated to the large study room upstairs, so space was at a premium.  You may have wondered what brought the change.  Well, we did, too!  To answer this question, I ambled down to take a look at our regular meeting spot.  Science In The Summer Camp was set up in the room that we usually use.  We couldn't be disturbing the various projects set out. Makes perfect sense (and we'll be back in the HUGE meeting room next month!!

Joy trimmed a bit of The Missing Quilt, then took some pictures:


Margaret showed off one of the mug rugs assembled for DOQ:


Bo posed with the back of her latest quilting commission:


Joy trimmed some more edges:


Bo had another quilt to share:


Here's a shot of the back...


... And a shot of where the blocks meet:


Bo also quilted a set of placemats...


... With whisks...


... Chef hats...


... And mixing spoons:


She then showed up the bag she embellished with her logo on her NEW T-shirt Press:


Carol did some hand quilting:


Margaret eventually laid out ALL of the Mug Rugs that she assembled:


She quilted them herself!!!  Good job, Margaret!! 


She worked on pinking the edges:


LOOK!!!  Bo actually WORKED on a project tonight:


Here is Karen holding up her latest quilting project...


... And here she is working on the binding:


Britt got busy tying off threads...



... On Dorm Quilt #2:


Roots:


... And branches...


... And the stitching on this AMAZING quilt:


Margaret resorted to laying out rows on a tiny bit of floor:


Victoria joined us for a short while after the Fall Sports meeting:


She worked on THIS knitting pattern:


Even though we were in a snug space, we managed to get a LOT done.  If YOU weren't with us, we hope to see you next month!! Same time, same place, but back in the room that allows for multiple quilts to be laid out on the floor simultaneously.

Until next time...
Be flexible!!!
