Quilting Bee

                                                             Last week my quilting bee,
the Out to Lunch Bunch,
 got together
for show and tell.
We didn't draw for the
'funky rooster' blocks yet,
as not all of us were there.
But we had a fun meeting,
and lunch,
anyway.
Shirley loves to do bleach discharge and
here are 2 of her pieces she is
working on now.





My friend Shirley made this beautiful quilt
for her granddaughter.
It is made with an African theme.
Here is a close up of some of the blocks.
Shirley used all batiks
putting African designs in the center of each block.
She sent the quilt to a friend
to have quilted on a long arm machine.
If you could see it up close you could see the great workmanship
in the piecing and the quilting.
This is Joyce with her Cat Quilt she made
for a family member.
Joyce makes quilts in record time.
I do not know how she gets so many made.
She does wonderful piecing and also
beautiful embroidery work.

These quilters know how to....
Savor the Day!
