This week we tried out a new Italian restaurant and were very impressed with the food and the service.  We enjoy checking out different restaurants, we add the really good ones to our rotation of lunch spots.  This one was added unanimously!

Cyndi finished this quilt top from an auction purchase, and she donated it for someone in need.


Sheila made this small quilt from a pack of  5" x 18" precuts.  Lovely jewel tones!


Sheila also finished this Jelly Roll Race quilt with beautiful borders that really set off the colors.


Cyndi used two fish prints to make a quilt backing.  This quilt will be reversible!


Sheila got a head start on next Christmas' decorating with this panel quilt.


Cyndi Made a lovely Alphabet quilt, in which each letter is made from a print that corresponds to it. It is also a matching game, since she used the same print in another block in the interior of the quilt.


Marcia put together this Disappearing Nine-Patch quilt with florals and solids. It is a couch throw size.


Marcia also made this Melon quilt as a gift for one of her grand-nieces. The melons are made of vintage fabrics from the 60's and 70's.


Keep those photos coming! We all love Show-and-Tell!

New Year, New Directions


We had been having a monthly meeting at night because two of our members could not meet with us during the day, but both those members have resigned from our group and are starting a group of their own.  We wish them much success and many new friends!

There is now no reason to have a monthly nightime meeting, so we have dropped it.  This will make things easier for the rest of us, as we will not need to provide refreshments or prepare a program. Some of us are also reluctant to get out at night.

This blog will be kept open as a place for us to show our finished projects and share news.  In that spirit, Cyndi shares a photo of the doll quilts she made for Christmas gifts for some very lucky little girls!





We hope to keep photos like this coming! Please submit all photos via email, if possible. Thanks!
