January 2015

Happy New Year everyone!  It was great to get together again and do some sewing.  But first, our show and tells.

Rhonda had some time over the holidays to work on her projects and quilting for others.  This is her Disappearing Pinwheel quilt top.  The borders were made with bonus triangles.

 This is a wall hanging that Linda made and Rhonda quilted.

This is Linda's quilt that she made for SIL Tony.  She made it extra long and will put a tuck in it for his cold feet!  It will be lined with a flannel sheet and Rhonda will quilt it.

 Rhonda's pinwheel heart quilt.

 And her pinwheel hot pad.

This is the Downton Abbey purse that Rhonda made from a kit she bought while on our quilt shop hop last month.
Rhonda quilted her Grand Illusion mystery quilt and another one, but they are at her aunt's getting their binding sewn on.  We should get to see them next month.

 Sue made this flag from a kit she bought at Mary's quilt shop in Bedford.  The stars field is appliqued.

 This baby quilt was made with a panel and matching fabric.

 And the backing is a totally different quilt with minky added.

 Sheree was with us for the first time in months.  She has been busy planning her daughter's wedding.  This is for her future son in law, and I think it is the same pattern Linda used for her SIL.  How different they look with the different colorways.

 This is a baby quilt I made for my step daughter.
 The back of the giraffe quilt.

 This is a hat that i knitted.  I am enjoying knitting as much as quilting now.

Another cowl that I made and one of the headbands I sewed.

 Here is the start to our Round Robin quilts.  When the center star is done, we are to add a border to it to make it 16.5 inches square.  For most this should be a 2.5 inch border, but measure to be sure.  The next round Sue is going to design for us.  This should be a lot of fun watching this quilt progress.  I can't wait!

We discussed making the Special Olympics quilt early so they have more time to market it.  Bring your quilt patterns with you next quilt club, February 28th, so we can decide on the quilt and start piecing it!

Rhonda, Sue, Deb, Sheree and Pam made it to quilt club this month.  We missed you Cathy, Peggy, Linda and Patty.

Stay warm and safe everyone! 

Virtual show and tell

We didn't get to do a show and tell during our Shop Hop, so I decided to share what we have been making lately.  I asked everyone to send me pictures, and here is what I got.

 Cathy started us off with one of her pillow cases she made for Christmas presents.  I think she said she made 14 of these.  Adorable fabric!  (I didn't get a photo of the entire  lot.)                                                              























This is Cathy's baby quilt she finished.

    

This is Ryleigh's dinosaur quilt I made for her for Christmas.  This was on hold until the two days before Christmas when I got the final fabric, which was on back order. (I had to order from another store-it never came in at the store where I ordered all the other fabric.)  I was tired.  Worked on this for two solid days to get it finished.

 This is Tiffany in one of the cowls I made.  I made 5 in different colors.

 Ryleigh with the back of her dino quilt.  I think she may like the cats side better.  :(

One of the other cowls.  Plum was the other color.  These were made with local alpaca yarn which she hand dyed.

 This is the baby hat I knitted for Tiffany's baby.  The same type of alpaca yarn.

 These are from Peggy-pajama pants.

 Peggy's Christmas table set.

 Peggy's Christmas stockings

 And more of Peggy's Christmas stockings!

 Hat and cowl set Peggy made.

 One of Peggy's scarves-beautiful.  If this one was kept for you I would love to see it in person!

Another one of Peggy's pretty scarves

 And another one of Peggy's pretty scarves.

And last, but not least, Griffon's quilt from Rhonda.

Happy New Year everyone! 

Rhonda suggested counting the number of projects you completed last year-let's try to remember that and bring it to quilt club the end of this month.  I bet we accomplished quite a bit among all of us.

December 2014 Shop Hop

Our almost annual December Shop Hop in Lancaster County was a fun filled day for all of us.  We weren't the only ones out shopping today.  We saw more Amish with their horses and buggies, bikes and scooters out and about than I have ever seen while shopping there before.  I wonder if they have more time on their hands now that the crops are harvested.

Here is a great picture of the club outside a quilt shop in Kitchen Kettle Village.  We visited The Old Country Store, Zooks and a yarn shop.  You ladies all look so pretty in this picture!

Sue and Peggy shopping in Zooks.

We went to Shady Maple Smorgasbord for lunch.  Linda met up with us there.

Obies was next on our itinerary.  I thought someone took a picture?  If someone did-send it to me and I will add it here.  Patty and Sue were Obie virgins.  Overwhelmed and OMG were a couple of choice phrases I heard!

Goodville fabric mart was next-much less claustrophobic than Obies!  Next time-someone remind me to get pictures of these places!

Our final stop was Sauders.  This is where I spent the most money.  Old reliable for me.  Once again-no pictures.  I need a better game plan for next Shop Hop.  Rumors are there may be another one in the Spring!

Our next meeting will be in January 2015-where do the years go?  Jaunary 24th.

So this ends another year of our Cloverleaf Quilt Club.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

It looks like I missed some good food and a fun time!  

Chilli from Patty
Pepperoni bread Peg
Veggie tray. Cathy
Soda and dessert. Rhonda

Plus Linda was here too.

Rhonda said,"It WAS a fun day and productive. The chili and pepperoni bread were delicious!"

Peggy said, "Had a great time even though I was late, knitted instead of sew, and ripped my scarf out three times for mistakes!!"

And Linda commented,"Enjoyed our day. I hit the wine early. I turned one square the wrong way, ripped out the wrong square, and resewed it the wrong way. Rhonda took over and fixed it."

Last but not least, from Patty,"Had a wonderful time today...thanks to everyone for a great day and for all your help...see you Saturday!"

 Tentative Itinerary for Saturday, December 13th.

Leaving Rhonda's at 8 am. Will meet Peggy at the York Galleria ( or somewhere near there).

Head to Kitchen Kettle Village.

Next to Shady Maple area - Lunch and Good's Dry goods

Then to Goodeville Fabric, and OBIES

From there we will see what time it is and possibly go to Weaver's.
