6/9 - Virtual NT Nights

Welcome to the Early June meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Nights Bee!!  We've been having a fairly good turn out for these Virtual Meetings.  It's been good to keep in touch this way and get caught up on what our members have been working on.

Let's see who chimed in this week.

Britt is preparing to quilt her son's college graduation quilt...


... And just finished a UFO:



Joy is working on sewing up some PINK scraps for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  She finished this mini for the Gallery Wire in her studio:


Another PINK mini is almost done.  Shown with binding options:



Ann had a TELL...

She is at a temporary standstill since she broke her left wrist. She said that she needs to learn to work one handed. Hoping that a shorter cast will help.  It was a freak accident.

Here's the story. "I managed to do it while walking my dog on the beach.  I stopped to pick up a shell, and he saw a bird land nearby.  When he jerked on the leash to chase the bird, I went down. The plan is for me to get a shorter cast tomorrow.  Right now my elbow is immobilized."

Marian added these squares to fusible grid...


... And ended up with this sweet little quilted wreath to gift:


Karen L. started using her wool again with a Block of the Week called Woolen Oak Mystery.  I'm case you missed it, every week is featured in an acorn:


Kirsten had a TELL:  She is in "home renovation hell."  She is actually in her new (sewing) space - moved the furniture in last Saturday and spent Sunday scrubbing the floor to get all of the drywall/construction dust up.  That's a losing battle. She promised to share pictures once she's all unpacked and has everything set-up.

Kirsten also had an ASK:  Anyone interested in a virtual meet-up one Tuesday night?  Joy thought YOU might be, so she and Kirsten are developing a plan for a group Zoom meeting later this month.  Stay tuned for more info!

Margaret sent this grouping of projects.  An underwater scene that was part of a Row by Row, June blocks for a Block of the Month program with another group, and her Pineapple Pieces block for a donation quilt that CCLQ is working on:


Let Joy know if YOU sent photos or shared a story, but don't see them posted here.

Until next time...
Quilt SEW safely!!!
