Catching Up

When we Thursday girls arrive at Susie's house, 
we're greeted by the sight of her pretty gardens 
and the sound of laughter floating from the open windows. 
Time to gather around the creative table!




We've been sharing all kinds of stitching lately, sometimes accompanied
 by a delicious coffee cake, like this one made recently by Ann.


Barbara has been appliquéing, embroidering and beading more of her village shops, with names borrowed from local stores.


And Carol has been busy knitting some beautiful pieces in rich colors.



Pat R. is meticulously hand quilting this pretty quilt,


and recently shared this cute sheep quilt top she had made.


Anne is sewing this vividly colored wool appliquéd quilt block


and Judy just finished hand embroidering this little owl.


Susie has done so much work lately, it's hard to keep up with her!
This is one of her many fabulous quilts, recently machine quilted by Barbara.


And she continues to work on her hand appliquéd quilt blocks for a baby quilt.




And finally, some of us had fun recently when Ann showed up with some coasters she had purchased while on a trip to Texas. They have an opening to hang on your nose and… well, here we are looking our very best! Our laughter could probably be heard throughout the neighborhood!






               
                  
                  

    The coasters are available at Amazon.com.
                                                                             Lots of fun!

          We'll be back soon with more pictures and stories!

Looking Back at a Quilt Exhibit

Back in February of this year, two members of our group had an exhibit
of their quilts in a contemporary church setting.


Susie is a former quilt shop owner and a prolific quilter.
These are just a few of the quilts she had in the show:







Barbara, a professional machine quilter, 
showed these and several other of her quilts.




The quilt below has pockets to hold part of 
Barbara's collection of vintage hankies...

…and these wall hangings are the first in a series of 
vintage dresses she is making.



A beautiful exhibit by two of the talented women
who sit around Our Creative Table.

Thanks for visiting!
