11/19/16 - NT @ Joy's

Welcome to the November meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Quilt Bee!!  We were at Joy's house this month.  The coffee and hot water were ready when the quilters arrived.  (No treats because this is a lunch meeting.)

Much chatting...

... Was followed by Show and Tell...

Britt started us off with THIS beauty:

Next came Ruth S. with this interesting piece of work...

... Along with her Bluff Quilt:

She also finished a Quilted Purse over the summer:

Ruth explained that there is something hidden in the trees:

Candy made some pillowcases:

Excuse me while I take a closer look at Ruth S's quilt:

Oh. wait!  Candy is showing Lilly's Learning Quilt and trying to determine what comes next:

Smile, Dee Dee:

Ruth B. is beginning to add the sashing to Twirly in Reverse:

Much excitement!!  Ruth S. brought a bag of scraps for Joy:

THIS is a close-up of Ruth B's blocks:

Helena brought a selection of fabrics purchased at the Diane Sale...

... A couple of books and a pattern also followed her home.  The fabrics?  They are meant to go with THIS piece of fabric from her stash to make a quilt for HER:

Joy was hungry and the chili was ready, so the quilters cleaned up their quilty stuff and went in for lunch.  Special thanks to Carol for saying it would be "fine no matter what" and to Candy for spicing up the chili.

NOTE:  DO NOT choose the Italian Tomatoes when making chili!!  Oops!!  Slight error.  Joy never claimed to be a chef.

Until next time...
Keep Quilting!!!
