September 2022 - Virtual Meeting

 Welcome back! How did summer fly by so quickly? I hope you are enjoying our current weather, and storing it away to remember in January.

We made a big change at our house, in August. After nearly 18 years and nearly 200 cats, we retired as a foster home for sick and orphaned kitties for Ottawa Humane Society. But fear not. I am still a crazy cat lady, because we adopted two little darlings from a rescue group near Westport.

This is Emme.

Emme is about 10 months old and is quiet and shy. She is currently helping me post the pictures.

This is Mudd.

He is about 4 months old and as you can see, he is always into everything. We are enjoying our new purr-manent family members.

MaryAnn answered my request for garden pictures and her garden is a quilt of colour right now.

Obviously she hasn't spent a lot of time in her sewing room, in order to create something this lovely.

Now for those that have actually been sewing.

Anita has been using up some of her scraps of children's fabrics and come up with a really cute baby quilt.

Carol McFee completed her Garden Scenes Quilt. The pattern is by Lynnette Anderson.

Doris Breslin made this Geese in the Lilies quilt from a layer cake. It was quilted by Krista.

Dianne Watchorn completed her version of Bonnie Hunter's Allietaire back in 2015. She got brave and used some new quilting techniques she has since learned to do justice to the lovely design.

Margaret Duncan sent us this finish. Blue and yellow quilts are all the vogue this summer.

I hope as the days get cooler, these gorgeous pictures will inspire you to get back into quilting. (Though I'll be playing with my kittens!)
