Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Meeting November, 2008
Posted By drsao on November 9, 2008
As you can see from the pictures, we had a WONDERFUL November meeting of our Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild in Powhatan, VA. The Show ‘N Tells were SO INSPIRATIONAL – and Catherine had LOTS of creative goodies to show this time! I especially loved her pin cushion flowers and needle and pin “wallet carrier things!”
In case you wonder why some of my pictures are a bit strange and ill staged – it is because everyone seemed to be a bit “modest” about holding up their work and they had their masterpieces up and back down before my camera could register! I NAMED THIS THE TWIRLING SHOW AND TELL BEHAVIOR. :):) And……I loved the way Catherine HID behind her work – but you can still see that smile in her eyes PEEPING OUT FROM BEHIND HER CREATIONS! I did get faster at taking those pictures with practice!
I liked all of the quilts today – especially Jane’s DISAPPEARING NINE-PATCH and Linda’s QUILT OF VALOR. There were several cute baby quilts donated this month too. I really liked this month’s STRIP OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE TOO!
I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THE QUILTED POSTCARDS TOO. Maybe I should retire so I could have more time to do COOL STUFF!!!!
Merci taught us how to make felted pin cushions and I think she inspired many of us to try it! I know I am inspired! As can see by the excitement on the faces in the pictures, several lucky ladies won pin cushions…..THANK YOU MERCI.
I had a great time and there were some SERIOUSLY FANTASTIC YUMMIES! And we ended by viewing the DVD of the retreat….oh my, Sara and Steve have done some fantastic editing work – REALLY WONDERFUL.
Enjoy the pictures….and click on them to see the full view!
