We're Off and Running for 2022-23

First meeting of the year! Good turn out and a great show and tell. So much stunning work by so many talented ladies - can't wait to see what next month brings.


The following seven pictures are all projects completed by Janet S. What a busy lady she's been since the start of Covid - and they don't include the Tiny Homes quilts. Lovely work, Janet.


Beautiful appliques and a scrap buster combined. 

Janet added that Joyce N. helped her with colour selections.


Janet's Nature Challenge wall hanging.


A great scrap buster

Snowmen in all colours - beautiful applique work



The flowers are so cute and look at that quilting!


Janet's love of aqua and teal certainly show here.  The pattern is "Slide Show"


And now on to Joyce N.'s quilts - always innovative


Joyce's Under the Sea colour wash - it takes time to see all the creatures incorporated into this engaging quilt.  


So pretty - Joyce said she had a lot of 2.5" squares that needed a home


This is Peggy L.'s star and log cabins - so beautiful - love the border



Christine P.'s Airplane baby quilt.  Some little one will be lucky to receive such a sweet gift.


Linda W.,s "Painted Ladies" house quilt.  Look at the cute trim between the roofs and houses.  Love the colours.


Marie Lyne F.s Disappearing 9 Patch.  Great colour choices


Marie Lyne F's "Damn Quilt"  This project through no fault of her own gave her great grief but we are happy to report it's completed and absolutely lovely.  Great work!


Bonnie B.;s Halloween Table Toppers.  The photo didn't do the colours justice as they are much more striking.


Bonnie B.'s "Circle Back" quilt completed in time for her granddaughter's birthday.  Lucky girl to receive such an awesome gift.


Flo B.'s  "Summer Breezes" quilt in soft yellow s and blues.  This is being gifted to a recently arrived  Ukrainian family. - what an awesome gift.



Flo has also made many, many bowl cozies to support a pet charity - how thoughtful and caring


Betty V.'s Polar Bear baby quilt that she free motion quilted herself.  This is gorgeous!  Would make a great wall hanging as well.



Betty V.'s table toppers - maybe some shattered ice for her polar bears?


Allison H.'s baby quilt in yellows and grays - so modern and fresh looking.



Dorothy J.s Carpenter's Wheel  that she both hand and machine quilted.  Great colour combination.


Marg R.;s Retreat Quilt in beautiful soft colours


Linda B.s "Gypsy Wife" quilt.  She long arm quilted it herself.  This is one you have to stop and really look to take in all the different blocks and colours - so pretty


What a great stash buster - Cecile G.'s scrappy beauty.


Barb E. joined us as a guest last night and shared her very recently completed quilt.   Barb utilized many quilting techniques and many gifted fabrics to complete her project.  Very artistic.
