Thank you to Jean for sharing this week's wonderful group photo:
DeeDee...
... Made Godiva chocolate and coconut bark. It's too bad we didn’t get to try any!! :o((
She's been working on her Storm at Sea quilt:
She's been working on her Storm at Sea quilt:
Here's a close-up of the new background. It's ALMOST a perfect match:
Dee Dee sent along this photo for a closer look:
Cheryl K...
... Is finishing up a baby quilt, but she is taking out some stitches:
She is also binding another quilt and making plans to go camping. She has been seeing some wonderful birds, Indigo bunting, etc. on her recent hikes.
Carol...
... Is working on her Postage Stamp quilt and has completed a handful of blocks like this one:
She asked for advice on machine quilting and most folks recommend starting in the center.
Lynda M...
... Had a good birthday party outside last week and...
Fabric gift for her birthday was Kaffe Fassett fabric...
... for a Lorna Doone quilt and mentioned that Gayle also liked this pattern:
Lynda will be making a blue, white, and yellow quilt in the "Bonnie Quilt" pattern that Joanna drew up from the "store-bought" quilt that Deborah's SIL purchased some time ago:
Ruth S...
... Joined us from The Bluff today. She had a great trip back, as there was not much traffic. Her machine is being serviced by local shop which is open and now has fabric. Rudolph is behind her:
Ruth S. also introduced Shelly the dog. Shelly goes for walks with her. Today she saw a Baltimore Oriole and a garden snake. Shelly is her son’s dog and named after his favorite fishing lure!
Ella...
... Is intently gazing at Dee Dee's Show and Tell:
There are three blocks completed...
... However, it appears that our editor only managed to get a shot at two of them:
Ruth B...
Ruth needed some more interfacing for the masks she's been making and found it in her stash!
... Has been busy playing with her scrap stash. She recently completed this Green quilted scrap basket:
She practiced EXTREME scrap use in this (reversible) mug rug in green...
... That also doubles as wall art:
Joy also shared two yellow mug rugs...
... Using a pieced panel leftover from one that Maggie made:
Joy has two yellow pin cushions in progress, as well. One is a flat cube...
... And the other is a skinny tube for placing in front of the machine or at the throat of the machine bed:
Maggie...
... Finished the top of her little squares scrap quilt from last week:
It will be a bunk bed donation quilt once it has been quilted...
... And is sure to please the recipient with these fun bike prints on the back:
... Which were a little clearer than what I got on the screen:
Jean...
... Tried to take time off from quilting…
... Obviously, THAT didn’t last long! She also thought she was done with masks. Guess what? She's making more masks, too:
Jean sewed on the sleeve (and sent a photo) of the Willie Quilt:
Here she is trying to get a better look at Candy's phone photos. Not to worry, Jean! Candy sent along better pictures:
Here's a better photo of the progress she made on her bunk bed quilt:
Candy...
She showed (a phone photo of) the donation quilt that Britt quilted, along with...
... One of the back:
Candy also shared the batik mask made from Joanna's fabric:
She sent these photos to supplement what we could see on our screens:
The backing was gifted from a friend:
Britt did a beautiful job on the freehand longarm quilting:
Lisa...
... Joined the meeting from England today. She was sitting outside on new patio. It was a beautiful sunny day and moved inside just before leaving the meeting:
Lisa (later) sent the following:
Here’s my show and tell 
. The red peony is called Karl Rosenfield. It’s an old hybrid from 1909, and very popular. The yellow one is just blooming for the first time this year. It’s name is Bartzella. The one still in bud is Sara Bernhardt, my particular fave as my mom used to call me Sara Bernhardt when I was little. Look at all those buds! She will be as dramatic as her namesake when she blooms this year
Love,
Lisa xx
Joanna...
... Has some interesting blocks up on her design wall:
She started another project. It's made with four sub-units (as seen on the left in the photo above) to create a center square of tiny 4-Patches, as shown below:
Those small 4-Patch blocks were too much! She started making these blocks:
Joanna is considering what will go in the middle of them, once they have been cut in half, like those shown on the right in the photo below:
Deborah...
... Waved good morning to everyone. She is currently making a quilted suitcase for her granddaughter’s upcoming birthday:
She made the same pattern a few years ago for her grandson:
Britt...
... Did her best "Vanna" impression (except I missed the smile) as she showed off her new gallery wire filled with small quilts:
It's done now and...
... For the quilting on this gorgeous scrappy quilt made of reproduction fabrics:
Editor's Note...
Special thanks to Deborah for taking notes during this week's meeting. It was SEW much easier to focus on getting the best photos possible. Please contact Joy for any necessary changes to this week's post.
Until next time...
