Arrival...
Group photo...
And one where Joy tried to join in for an us-ie or a group selfie:
Feeding frenzy...
Ruth S. brought a tub of fabric from her friend Donna who is no longer quilting:
Dee Dee and Ruth B. helped distribute the fabrics for easier picking. One of those fabrics stuck to Dee Dee's hands and refused to let go, no matter how hard she tried to shake it off:
Show and Tell...
Britt
Completed the quilting on a donated Lutheran World Relief quilt top:
She donated the backing, a souvenir from Geneva, Switzerland...
... And the binding from her stash:
Joy
Showed Maggie's 1st LWR quilt which she quilted with a large allover meander. Candy took it to do the binding. (Thanks, Candy!) Joy then brought out the Tooth Fairy pillow that she made for the Junior Quilter (shown below):
The pillow back is brilliant:
Joy used the front AND back of a button-down shirt to create a secret pocket...
... With the actual shirt pocket serving as the perfect spot for the Tooth Fairy portion of the pillow:
Cheryl K
Worked on finishing the binding on her latest donation quilt. Britt did the quilting on this one:
Linda
Shared the contents of her shopping bag from Pineapple Fabrics...
... With its split personality, as the reverse side advertises Keepsake:
Fabric packs with their accompanying FREE patterns:
Random fabrics and her purchased patterns:
Candy
Finished the top of her latest quilt from GE Designs:
She purchased this wide backing fabric on her trip to Pineapple Fabrics' newly opened Warehouse Store:
She was most excited about this adorable panel that she found on the "Pound Table" for mere pennies:
Candy replenished her supply of yellow fabrics...
... With these sunny selections:
Here is the seasonal project she made:
Ask her about the specifics, but I think the "feathers" came from her quilting stash, the body was fleece, and the beak was wool from Britt's bounty from Gayle.
Ella
Told the story of this 3 or 6 hour chicken:
Ruth S.
Chose the LAST kit assembled by Joy for the LWR quilts (above) and brought a big bag of scrap for Joy (shown below):
Ruth made this baby quilt from an adorable panel:
A super scrappy quilt...
She added a scrappy binding, as well:
Another quilt, this one for Hospice...
... With a pieced back for it:
Ruth gave this quilt to Britt for quilting:
This quilt top made of shirting has been hanging around too long. Josette gave it to her more than a year ago. Today she passed it along to Joy, who expressed that she loved it:
No notes were taken today so the story of this quilt was lost:
Ruth B.
This large quilt is for her son:
It was quilted by Joy using her Swirl quilting:
Deborah
Shared her nearly completed Blooming 9-Patch:
The Swirl quilting was done by Joy:
Carol
Showed off (above and below) two Christmas quilts for her grandkids. The 2nd one used the pattern that Maggie used for one of her LWR donation quilts:
Maggie
Has been in a table runner kind of mood:
She also finished the Christmas Tree quilt for her younger son:
Maggie is SEW please with the quilting she accomplished:
Look at the tiny paper pieced tree skirt:
Maggie couldn't resist sharing the quilt she just got back from Joy:
This donation quilt is also just back from being quilted by Joy using the Greek Key design that Maggie chose:
Dee Dee
Shared her all-day chicken (above) and had a bag of scraps for Joy:
The music quilt is complete:
Suzan did musical quilting:
Dee Dee is very happy:
Harbor's parent's gift quilt is also complete:
Suzan quilted it with a curlicue design:
Also...
