4/14/20 Virtual NT Nights with a Bonus

Welcome to the Early April meeting of the NT Night Quilt Bee!!  We've gone virtual due to our regular venue being closed.  I'm sure you all know why.  At the end of the post, I've included a bit of a surprise.

Early April...

Jean R. had been busy since our last update.  Remember all of those kits she cut for herself?  Well, she got a start on the sewing:




TWO...



THREE:



FOUR:



FIVE:



Joyce made a little cozy...


... For her mini travel iron:


Karen L. made a Toilet Paper quilt, but what I'm really wondering is how much I'd have to pay her for that bundle:



Britt chose a UFO to load on her new-used longarm and went searching for a panto to quilt on it:




There are SEW many options:




She has made SEW many masks for family and friends.  Britt is now suffering from Mask Overload:



Kirsten reported that she has been packing up her sewing room in preparation for new floors.  I certainly don't envy her THAT task!  At least, she has a week or 2 to complete the process.  The flooring will be installed sometime in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Joy finished quilting this quilt, which some of you will recognize.  Carol shared this beauty a couple of months ago:



Margaret finished piecing a UFO from 2018!!  It's from Augusta Cole's Wheel of Fortune class:



Karen V. shared this raw edge quilt in progress for her daughter...



... And she has run out of non-woven interfacing for more masks:


** Joy to the rescue...  She keeps bolts of the stuff on hand for the T-shirt quilts that she makes!!  The last yard or so of featherweight was just perfect for Karen's purposes:



Victoria was busy finishing her 100 blocks.  Before mask making,  she played with design layout options:



This is there Northwind layout:


She can't really go wrong with either plan!

Karen W. completed her Spring/Summer wall hanging.  It will had in her living room/dining room wall:



She made this top and back 3 years ago:


... And completed this unique bunk bed donation last week:


Thank you for a better response than we had for the Late March meeting!!  It's SEW good to see what everyone is working on.


Are you ready for a surprise?


Here's how the story goes...  Our editor was out sick and missed the Early March meeting.  Technical difficulties prevented a catch up post, but as I was looking for pictures for this post, the following photos flashed across the screen.  It was (finally) time to investigate.

I would like to apologize for the following (incorrect) disclaimer on the Late March meeting post:

Note:  Our editor was sick and missed the Early March meeting on 3/10/20.  A reminder to take photos was issued (and ignored.)  The quilters in attendance were too busy talking to take any pictures.  :o((

Sorry, Margaret!!!  I hope you will forgive me for posting inaccurate information without double-checking the facts.

As it turned out, Margaret had sent the photos on the night of the meeting in question, but I was unable to access them.  Time went by and I forgot all about that missing post.  (You know.  The threat of a novel coronavirus will do that.)   The photo issue has since been resolved.  Thank you, Margaret!

Early March...

Dawn's Sunbonnet Sue:



Since it may be a toss up as to which of them likes the holiday more, I'm guessing this is Jean's or Carol's Halloween Crazy Quilt wall hanging:


I would LOVE to know the story on this incredible quilt:


Alita worked on a knitting project:


Here's Dawn with her new quilt top made from old blocks:



LOVE that cheesy grin, Dawn:


Karen L. was working on her massive hand piecing project:


Zoomba class must have been meeting in the gym, as I see Jean just got up to close the door to block the noise:



Speaking of Jean... She has a new pattern to play with...


... And fabrics, too:



I'm really sorry I missed out on all the fun.

Until next time...
BEE sew safe!!
