| Look at those accurate points! This is a close up of the Storm at Sea block. DeeDee plans to make this quilt for a special friend. |
 |
| Dee Dee is not so sure she wants to paper piece all those blocks for a quilt. With lots of encouragement from the group, I'm sure she will conquer this task and the end result will be a glorious quilt! |

DeeDee made this sweet embroidered pillow case when she was 8 or 9 years old.

 |
| On a recent trip to Ohio, Cheryl's husband found this embroidered quilt top in a random box. The maker remains a mystery. |
 |
| The maker saved the instruction sheet with photo. I couldn't resist doing a bit of research...click on this link if you want to see more about these cross-stitch quilts. |
 |
| Close up of the cross stitch work. The group had fun discussing how to finish this nice handiwork. Some folks said just hem it and use it as a light weight summer bedspread. Others said but a back on it and some said don't quilt it on a long-arm machine. |
 |
| Ruth S shows her beautiful yellow quilt. What a wonderful find! It will be quilted and used at the Bluff. |
 |

| Margaret also made a sample of a table topper finished using the pillow case method. |
 |
| Margaret cut a pattern from freezer paper to help with cutting the triangles and also to use for quilting design. |
 |
| Jean shared a table topper that she made. Jean also supplied the group with pieces of felt cut in hexagon shape to use instead of batting. Thank you Jean! |
