Virtual Meeting - January 18, 2021

 Well, things have changed again. We are back where we were when I started doing this. Thanks to everyone who took the time this week to send pictures. I am sure it will brighten many members' morning!

If you enjoy watching videos, Mary Fons has a new YouTube video blog, that she calls "The Quilts Will Go On". If you are looking for something to keep you entertained in your sewing room, you might want to check it out.

Now, enjoy the lovely pictures for this week.

First is Doreen, with her wonderful Northern Sunbonnet Sue. I believe she got the patterns from a quilt shop in Alaska.

Joy sent this great painting she got in rural Saskatchewan.

Joy also sent a wall hanging, she made in a workshop at the Pickle Dish (remember in-person workshops?). This was the first time she added beads to her quilt.

Kate took part in the Project Quilting Mystery QAL. You were suppose to have your wall hanging done by January 3, but mine should be finished tomorrow, when I finish sewing down the binding (during our meeting time.)

Liz made this baby quilt for a friend who is expecting her first grandchild, soon. Her friend chose the fabric and Liz made the quilt.

Marilyn calls this quilt "Winter Trees". 

MaryAnn made her granddaughter a Disappearing Nine Patch quilt, for Christmas.

She also made a matching pillow with a horse and rider, because her granddaughter loves to ride.

Pat Nyenhuis took a walling hanging panel and turned it into a set of placemats and a tablerunner.

I heard the other day that making fiber art can give us some of the "micro touches" that we miss during a lockdown. So dive into your stash and make something.

Our next Show and Tell is February 1.

Virtual Meeting - January 4, 2021

 Happy New Year! In case you haven't noticed, the Calendar on the Poole Creek web site has been updated. For the time being, those dates represent when we will do our virtual Show and Tell.  You are welcome to send your pictures at any time, and I will save them for our next Show and Tell.

Even though we are again in lock down, I am sure you are all finding ways to keep yourself busy. I know that many of you have noticed many local shops offer curbside pickup or delivery, so on the tiny chance that you might run out of fabric or other supplies, there is lots of "help" available. If you are interested, I can post a list of stores with web sites and phone numbers.

Meanwhile, a few ladies sent pictures for this week. I am sure you will enjoy them.

Beth Marshall finished a UFO. 

Carol McFee calls this Yoko's Baskets.

Carol also sent this wonderful thread painting piece.

Chris Mitchler made a felted wool thread catcher.

Helen Elder-Anderson quilted this small piece for quilting practice (she found the top in my give away pile).

Janice Pound made a Gnome pillow for Christmas.

She also made a stocking for her granddaughter, Olivia.

Kate made a pouch for a friend, who was looking for something to carry her masks in. It, of course, has cats on it.

Marilyn did this frame loom weaving of a tree, a few years ago.

MaryAnn made a Minecraft quilt for her grandson. They started it as a home schooling project last spring and she finished it in time to give it to him for Christmas.

The back has a Giant Ender Dragon.

Our next show and Tell will be January 18.
