My son wanted a Canada 150 wall hanging. I started with the New Brunswick panel, and added to it. I machine quilted this on my 1939 Singer machine.

Marilyn sent these with no story, so just enjoy!
MaryAnn made Harry Potter cushions of Hedwig the Owl and the Flying Ford Anglia.

Wow, those are some really wonderful quilts. The best thing about this is it shows a variety of styles, techniques and skill levels. I hope everyone is inspired to get into their sewing space and make something, this week. The experts say it is good for us!

Good afternoon Ladies. I just wanted everyone to know that I presented Kate with a $50.00 gift certificate to Maker Savvy on behalf of our members to thank her for all the work she has put into the Virtual Show and Tell. We all appreciate the time and dedication you put into creating these wonderful presentations every two weeks.
