Meanwhile, I spent the last week sewing and it looks like I wasn't the only one.

Cathy Simpson made this quilt for her grandson's graduation from Grade 12. It was quilted by Krista.


Christine Welsh knit a christening shawl for her granddaughter Annabel who was born last week.


Diane Hart made this cute little bag for her niece. Can you tell her favourite colour is purple just like her aunt.


Dianne Watchorn is ready for Canada Day.


Johanne Vadja has finished a Kaffe Fawcett quilt.



I (Kate) made an antependium or pulpit fall for our Church. It celebrates inclusion, and is based on a pillow top pattern I saw on "We All Sew". My thanks to Pat Nyenhuis for a tiny scrap of pink. It seems that as the mother and grandmother of boys, I don't have any pink in my stash.


Marilyn sent us two quilts this week. The first is called Broken Hearts.



The second is Mexican Fiesta.


Nancy has a great story with her quilt. In 2000, she was gifted a large number of fabric samples. She had enough to make 48 blocks of 16 squares. She set them aside until recently, when she bordered them in white.


She set them aside again because she wasn't happy with it. This winter she took a class called Orphan Blocks and from the class, tried framing them by colour. 



She took the leftovers and added them to the back. The quilt was quilted by Krista.


That was a great show! I hope you all enjoyed it. 

Our next show and Tell is June 28.
