my first post

I am finishing up my scrap bag challenge from Common Threads. It was a fun project.

Welcome to the new blog!  

January 28, 2015   Show 'N Tell

Kathy's flannel Biscuit Quilt that she's making for her son-in-law

Chiska's Elephant Quilt

Chiska's Primary Bee Quilt--an online quilting bee her kids did

Jeri's grandaughter (?) painted paper collage

Giraffe's

An afghan Jeri made that matches 

One Jeri's family's gift to her--a photo blanket

Sue's gorgeous duvet cover Spring Side

Fall Side

And one of it on her bed with some of the pillows she made too:

Carol shared a picture of her horse quilt on her bed.  It's the first quilt she's kept for herself!

Carol's Totemic Orcas (Killer Whales)

She also just shared with me a quilt she just picked up.

We had some picture-less shares as well:

• Joyce made lovely aprons for the folks at Serendipity!  Go look at how cute they are--reversible, too.
• Mary finished a shirt, made a complete shirt, and some other stuff--all hand sewn.  (Mary and Moki love the whole Rendezvous scene and are members of the national organization as well!)

For those of you following us from afar Chiska is inviting everyone to "author" the blog as well.  If you would like to post something you are welcome to (keep it clean and kind of course!).  If you don't want to that's fine too.
