Virtual Meeting - July 26, 2021

 Pictures were a bit scarce this week, so I will start with a shot of my current foster cat, Carleton.

If you can't find the cat, you might look on top of the frig. Carleton is our 188th foster cat and he is off to his new family, this week.

Because I love this so much, I have to show you this picture first.

Shirley Lambert painted this for her 5 month old great granddaughter, Bella. I'm sure that Bella will be using this set for many years.

Anita has been back into her scraps again.

This is the first top.

And this is the second. She is sending these to Victoria's Quilts.

Finally, this is a quilt I finished in 2015. I gave it to my son, who sends me pictures regularly of dogs, cats, and friends, curled up under the quilt. 

Since the province has opened up a bit more, I think many of you are enjoying visits to family and friends you haven't seen in nearly two years. With that in mind, I have decided to skip the next meeting date, and our next Show and Tell will be August 23. Until then, everybody stay safe!

Virtual Meeting - July 12, 2021

I guess everyone has been doing summery things, because our Show and Tell is smaller than normal, but it is great!

Anita made a baby quilt for her granddaughter, due next month. 

When it was finished, she decided that she didn't like the way the big polka dots competed with the bright solids, so she made a second baby quilt.

I think the baby and her parents will love both of the quilts!

Diane Hart is working through her UFO's and finished this wall hanging.

Helen Anderson has been making clothes for disabled "American Girl" dolls to give to the Shriner's Hospital.

Joy's nephew was very specific about what he wanted for a baby quilt for the coming baby: Baby animals, a wolf cub, and predominantly pink.

 I think Aunt Joy checked all the boxes with this hand appliqued crib quilt.

Kate (that's me) made this shawl last summer, but it took months to weave all the ends in. It is finished now. The pattern is called Floatini. The yarns are merino and silk, and mohair.

Pat Nyenhuis made an I Spy or Vocabulary quilt from some scraps she got from Marilyn Lauer. 

The quilt will be heading to the Far North shortly.

It was a small number of pictures today, but all of them are wonderful.

Our next Show and Tell will be July 26. Take lots of pictures!
