November 8th Sew Day

Snow has arrived! I am happy to report that she didn't keep anyone from getting together on our November 8th sew day. We had a full house! The gals reported the Saskatoon Quilt Show turned out to be a really fun time. What a great bunch of gals (and 1 guy) to take on a road trip! Thanks So Much to Nolan for driving us crazy ladies! Great company, great quilts and great vendors! What more could a gal ask for?  Maybe a little of our own eye candy............

From the Bench.........

 

This is Cathy's first completed top. Isn't it beautiful! Well done Cathy!

 

One of two comfort quilts. This is called the 10 minute block. Last sew day everyone brought some blue fabric from their stash. Together, we cut, pieced and pressed the fabrics into 2 quilts for a couple our members. Thanks to Karen and Lori for quilting them for us so we could gift them this sew day. 

 

 

 



This beautiful runner belongs to Debbie. Her bargello items are truly stunning!

 Your colour choices are dancing Debbie!

 

Eleanor has been busy making Christmas mats.  The designs bring back many happy memories of Christmas past!

This is Gail's Stack and Wack - One Block Wonder. I learned this technique at a workshop put on by Cindy Hamilton in Dauphin. The original fabric was large yellow Christmas trees on a black background. It sure doesn't look like Christmas trees anymore! Pretty neat technique!

 

Gloria was gifted this quilt top. She worked her longarm quilting machine magic and turned it into a beautiful queen sized quilt.  Wouldn't it be nice to snuggle up under this one? 

 

 We always look forward to seeing Sherry's mats.  She has a talent for taking from her stash, adding a little new and turning out masterpieces.  And her quilting techniques are always amazing!

Velma your strip quilt is fabulous!  The colours in this one were so bright and happy! Velma says it is a piece-as-you-go technique, so the sandwich and quilting are done at the same time as you do the piecing.  Lovely! I think I might have to get out my scraps! 

 

 

 Till the next time...............................................
