10/29 - NT Nights @ Passmore Center

Welcome to the Late October meeting of the Nimble Thimbles meeting!!  Five Six Seven members and one guest were in attendance this evening.  We were greeted by a Quilt Show of sorts.  The Tuesday Group's donation quilters have hung quilts for the Holiday Market.

You will have to scroll down to see those.  For some reason, the photos uploaded in reverse order and I don't have the energy to correct them.

SEW...

If YOU were there, you may not recall the meeting unfolding in quite this way.

Cheryl B. (who arrived just as we were getting ready to leave - Sorry!  I didn't even get a picture of her) told her client about our Evening Quilt Bee...

Quilting Unplugged....

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  On October 17th nine quilters met at Joanna's. Almost every week we see something about a Singer Treadle Sewing machine and this week was no different!  

Joanna's Singer Treadle machine. Click here to learn more about the history of Singer sewing machines. 

Joanna made an iron caddy.

Taking a peek inside

This is a Rowenta travel iron...how cool!

Joanna has another beautiful Stonehenge fabric quilt ready to go on the long arm.

Joanna painted concentric circles on the fabric for the Chuppah for her grand daughter's wedding.


Cheryl K was glad to be home from her travels to Italy and had a wonderful trip.

Quilt As You Go Go Maggie has created another stunning quilt for her son's roommate!

The back of the Quilt As You Go quilt creates a secondary quilt!

Below, Jean shared a charming quilt for her cousin's grand baby.

Jean embellished the quilt by adding sweet embroidered roses.  By the way...the baby's name is Rose.
