She also finished this throw using a quilt-as-you-go technique...

What a cute pattern!  Too bad I don't recall who will be making it:

Willie's got a cute new Thanksgiving bandana to show us...

... Too bad we tired him out before it was his turn:

Ruth B found this quilt hoop in her belongings.  She is giving it away.  Check with her, if you would like it:

She's going to make a quilt for her son with this lovely bundle of black and white prints:

This is Candy's lovely version of the "Jean Bag" to share:

She offered this "prototype" to anyone who wanted it:

Candy made a Gift Bag for gifting the bag she made:

She brought along her completed Blooming 9-Patch top:

Candy is pretty happy with it, now that it's done: 

Joy brought her "Jean Bag" to show off:

She also shared the pincushion and mug rug she made from scraps:

Thank you, Dee Dee and Jean, for the wonderful supply of scraps!!

Jean is working on a Christmas bandana for Willie:

Here is a better look at Willie's Thanksgiving bandana:

Jean embroidered this Christmas wall hanging for a gift:

We also saw her anniversary wall hanging.  She used the train of her wedding gown for the background of this fabulous keepsake:

Jean's really having fun with her embroidery machine:

She is even making embroidered ornaments:

This wall hanging is for a train friend:

This original embroidered quilt is being mailed to family:

We all enjoyed Jean's Autumn "Kitchen Quilt", as we filled our plates with food items that members brought to share and filled our bowls with the delicious soups that our hostess created:

Until next time...
Keep on quilting!!!
