MARCH MADNESS!

Apologies for taking so long to get this blog post done.  I seem to be the queen of procrastination!

We had some special visitors to our meeting - the New Year's Baby (from Grandview I think), and her family.  No pictures, but what a little sweetie.  She was presented with one of our baby quilt.  Again I apologize because I forgot to get a picture of the quilt. (I'm not very good at this, am I?)

Moving, on we finished a comfort quilt, to be given to a family who have lost their home to a fire.  It was pieced at our last meeting, consisting of Bento Box blocks.  Karen took it home and quilted it, and Donalda  put the binding on it.


This lovely piece, called "Migrating Geese" was made by Gail.  A few years ago, we attended a workshop in Brandon where this was being taught by Marge Moore.  It was a very ambitious project, and I'm not sure how many have been finished.  This is just gorgeous, I love the colours.

Next up is Brenda P.'s "Dick and Jane" quilt.  I'm sure this brings back lots of childhood memories for a lot of us. Lots of fun.

A sweet little baby quilt made by Sherry K.  Some lucky little person is going to love this.  This was made using up some of the guild fabric.

Eleanor made this very elegant table runner.  I think this was made using a border print fabric - it makes a very striking effect.

Another table runner, this one was made by Sherry K. using hand dyed fabric.  This is so very bright and cheerful!  I love it!

A flannel rag quilt - it's so warm and inviting looking.  I just want to cuddle up underneath it. Velma made this lovely little piece.

I made this little Easter post card on my embroidery machine.  This will be sent to my MIL who is in a care home, and cannot have visitors with all that is going on around us. So I hope that this will put a smile on her face and let her know that we're thinking about her.

And last but certainly not least, this little wall hanging was made by Debbie.  It just screams "Spring!" to me.  Now if the weather would just follow suit.

With all that is going on around us with the Covid-19 virus, I don't know when the next blog will be posted.  But having said that, I hope everyone keeps well and safe, and keep creating your beautiful quilts, and we will catch it all up when we can.  Take care everyone.
