10/12/19 - NT @ Ella's

Welcome to the October meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Quilt Bee!!  This month, we were hosted by Ella.

We started off with a small group. Only SIX members were gathered when the editor arrived.  Then came one and another member.  Ultimately, NINE quilters were in attendance.

Here is what everyone brought to share...

Candy was working on binding Barry's quilt:



Someone had a birthday yesterday:


The Junior Quilter visited with us today:


LOOK!!!  It's Helena:


Ella - Cleaning out and found a photo of a (prize winning) costume that she made a very long time ago:


Jean embroidered this panel for Ella:


And items on her design wall:


Ella's cutting table has been turned to take advantage of the light coming in her studio windows:


Another project on the design wall:


This quilt graced the living room wall:


Dee Dee - Harbor's Big Boy Quilt in progress:



She's working on a set of coasters, too:


Backing fabric for the car quilt:


Candy - A new Chevron Tote:


A Table Topper for a gift:


A new Kindle Cover...

Joy showed off her new quilt-like backpack:


She also shared three Christmas stockings:


A yellow Scrap Basket made at Retreat:


And her Guild Challenge M for Mosaic in progress:


Linda - Great niece is having a baby and she made a quick woodsy themed quilt:



Lynda - She's going forward with her big project.  Her current block is a Fig Tree with bats hanging upside down:



Pictures of the BACK...


... And FRONT of Linda's speedy Baby Quilt:


The Junior Quilt modeled "Miss Goy's" fabric scraps:


Britt - A Wide Open pouch and a quilted basket for her Mom:


Lynda received notification of Sue Spargo's side borders:


Britt also made a Wide Open pouch for herself based on measurements from a friend's bag.  The friend talked her thru the extended zipper, which Britt hadn't done before:



Helena - TELL - After 2 years in her "new" house, she has finally set up a sewing space in her room!!!  She's going to transform a table into half cutting and half pressing space based on an idea from BlogLand that Joy shared with her.

TELL - It's snowing in Minniapolis (and she was there for a visit just last month!)


Kirsten - Seminole Mountain quilt top, sans borders.  She made all of the border units at the "Bluff South" Retreat.  (Joy kept calling it the wrong thing!!!)


Those units haven't yet been sewn into borders...


Thus, the borders still need to be applied:


Ella had a stack of scraps for Joy:


Thank you to Dee Dee for the Birthday Charm Pack:


This is the quilt that Candy was working on binding for Barry:


Dee Dee presented this Star Wars gift quilt:


It's anyone's best guess on the story behind the photo of this adorable scrappy quilt:


The Junior Quilter enjoyed lunch with the Quilt Ladies:



Britt - TELL - Husband made a bed frame from a piece of wood they bought last Christmas.  Based on the photo she just received, it is going together today.

TELL - Her MIL is coming for a visit this week.

Until next time...
Quilt, eat, repeat!!!
