10/24/17 - NT Nights @ Hboro Library

Welcome to the October meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Nights Quilt Bee!!  Ultimately, six members were in attendance.  We enjoyed our time together and missed those members who were not able to join us.

Let's start off with a preview of one of our #quiltsforvegas quilts:

Joy was busy with a bag project and actually brought her sewing machine to the meeting:

She stitched up the pockets:

Britt bought the background fabric for her niece's quilt in order to test the layout of the butterflies:

Our newest member, Ann, shared this gorgeous Christmas quilt and asked for help determining how much to cut off of the border:

She did a scrappy backing for this one:

Here she is, working on her long-term applique project:

What on Earth is THIS?!?!

The dog got ahold of Kirsten's friend's quilt:

We think some of the damage is fabric failure:

Other bits are obviously puppy problems:

Britt worked on her own long-term applique project:

Smile!!!  The borders are another step toward a completed project:

Kirsten brought along a knitted shawl project:

Ann and Cheryl B. discuss the Christmas Quilt:

Victoria worked on binding a quilt:

You can see why I added that preview picture up at the top of the post.  I didn't end up with a very good shot at tonight's meeting:

Cheryl B's last piano student didn't show up so she stopped by to do a little work on her Grandmother's Fan project:

Oh, look!!  THREE of us have been to IKEA and have the giant bag to show for it!!  It's GREAT for schlepping quilt projects:

Until next time...
Quilting season is upon us!!!
