Here's the whole gang. From left to right in front row: Victoria, Kathy, Mavie and Darlene. In the back row: Cricket, Bev, Rebecca and me. Isnt' the built-in bookcase we're standing in front of great? We all wanted to bring it home with us.
Rebecca brought some show and tell quilts to share. Here's the first one.
Here's her string quilt.
Here's Rebecca hard at work. Behind her you can see some of the 14 quilt tops she made over the weekend.
Cricket and I were getting silly and started taking pictures of each other across the room. Darlene is taking pictures of Bev cutting fabric and Rebecca ironing.
Victoria worked hard on her swap blocks. Sometime on Saturday afternoon she finally finished her first one.
Bev gave us a demo on making Super-Sized 9-Patch blocks.
Cricket finished the awesome vest for herself over the weekend. You can tell she will be Queen of the Jungle in this vest.
Darlene is the Queen of Scrap Searching. She went through everyone's trash can to make sure we didn't throw away any scraps that she would use for quilts.
Darlene finished her Super-Sized 9-Patch quilts. Aren't they great?
Mavie was working on her quilts while Darlene was trimming blocks. Notice the scrap quilt top on the floor? This is one of Darlene's creations.
It's getting dark and I think it's going to start storming. I'm off for now. I still have stories to share. I promise to do it tomorrow night.
