The sewing continues!

We have been busy completing many projects! It feels SO good when a project is complete and we can share it and enjoy the feeling of completion - and then BAM, we start something new!

This is Judy's quilt - it was a kit from guess who? Connecting Threads of course! The quilting was just completed by Carmen - the finished quilt looks great!

We celebrated Cheryl's birthday with a delicious cake - Happy Birthday Cheryl!(and thanks to Carole for always picking up the cakes!)

These are my first two blocks of a Pat Sloan Block of the Month program that is happening on-line. The program started in January and each month for 10 months, the directions for a block will be released. It's not too late to join - check out Pat Sloan on Facebook for all the information. 

These colourful log cabin blocks are the 'filler' blocks for Myrtle's Block of the Month - they are going to look lovely when finished!

Here's Jane busy again!

Cheryl is putting her blocks together for her Orion Star quilt using Thangles .... beautiful colours! 

Carole is working with pretty pastel fabrics - very nice!

 Here is Judy's quilt - as you can see, she has put a couple of rows together ... very pretty!

I made two table toppers (60 degree table topper) out of this bee hive striped fabric - each topper is the inverse of the other. I kept one and sent one to my quilter friend, Lynne, in Australia. 

Carole brought in two older quilts to show us - this first one belongs to her daughter and was made by Carole's grandmother. It needed a little repair work and is good as new now. 

This second quilt is one that Carole started decades ago and she pulled it out and finished it; good job Carole!

Jane and I went to Quiltcon click here in Pasadena, California, the end of February and we had an AMAZING time! So, the next post on this blog will be all about our Quiltcon experience  - and I will include the link to the 2017 Quiltcon which will be held in Savannah, Georgia, so stay tuned!!!

Hope your bobbins are always full!

Lots of photos to share with you today!

Everyone has been very busy finishing UFOs (unfinished objects) and eagerly starting new projects. It's funny how the new fabrics call to you while you are in the midst of 3 or 4 other projects - and the new fabric always looks so much more interesting than the fabric you have been working with for a month or more!

Without further ado, here come the photos!

This is Faye 2 with a block from the kit she ordered from Connecting Threads (check their website HERE! We all love shopping at Connecting Threads, great quality and prices). 

The pattern is called "Star Crazy" ..........

...and it involves LOTS of cutting but it will be beautiful!

Here is Faye 1 with a completed quilt top; very lovely in black, white, silver, gray!

Judy is ironing her squares - it is another quilt kit from Connecting Threads, lovely browns!

It looks like Carmen is working on some bow ties and ...

..she has some beautiful graduated pink fabric that will make a beautiful heart quilt. 

Cheryl is practicing how she is going to put together her Block of Month quilt - love the blue colour with all the blacks and whites!

Jane is hard at work ...... on something! Sorry Jane, I don't remember what you were working on but I'm sure we'll see the progress in a later post!

This is Karen! She is our newest member and she is working on a table runner, looking good Karen!

Myrtle is working on her Block of the Month with a lovely turquoise fabric to add contrast - gorgeous!

I made some doggie panties - something I never thought I would be making! My family and I are pug sitting two of our breeder's pugs and the little female, Coco, has gone into heat. With any luck, Coco and Carter will be parents in a few months!

Carole showed us her strip quilt - she used fabric foundation for the back of the blocks and it shows how good combining different fabrics can look. Good job!

That's all for now! See you again soon!
