Clubhouse Chatter…

I’m in a rush this morning…The Sand’s Clubhouse is opening the doors to the North Hall at 8:30am to accommodate all the keen quilters… which means I don’t have time to dilly dally! 

Let’s get the show on the road…

I’m not sure if this is going to be a runner or a quilt but Alice is doing a wonderful job!!  Stay tuned for the happy ending…

This is definitely going to be a runner…Royce is a beginning quilter and she has taken on a difficult task…and doing an awesome job in the process!

Karen’s professional bag isn’t quite finished but it is going to be gorgeous!

Deb is making a quilt for her grandson…this will be the border and it…

Yes, you aren’t see things…this really is an out house!  Anne is making a wall hanging for her rig!

She is using THIS PATTERN…man this proves that they have patterns for everything!!

Anne is also working on this lovely appliqued topper…

JoAnne was putting the last hand stitches into these wonderful wool and cotton blocks by Primitive Gathering called ‘Warm Winter Wishes’!

Kim has started machine stitching her gorgeous blocks by  Laundry Basket!   They are laser cut applique pieces using batiks on cotton background.  This quilt is going to be huge and gorgeous!

Geeze Louise…I can’t remember who was making this beauty…all I can say is that I am old…very, very old….

Lindsay is hard at work quilting her monster quilt…and using a few choice words!  Quilting on black using black thread is always challenging and requires a certain language familiar only to a true quilter…:o}}

I have been working on borders for my basket quilt…I am almost there!!

IMG_3702

On Monday we had a guest come in to show some of the crafters how to make a shrug out of fleece…and yes there was NO SEWING!  A circle of fleece cut two holes and you are DONE!

We even have a model…world famous model Jan, was present to model her creation…

Along with several other ladies…now are these shrugs not the cutest…perfect for those evenings around the campfire or a night at the opera!:o)

Whew!!  We really do have some busy and talented quilters at the Sands!

Now I really DO have to RUN or I am going to be late for this week’s Clubhouse happenings!  Tomorrow is the Sand’s Quilt Show which is always fun to see!  We have lots to do to get ready…UFOs to finish and projects to make!  Stay tuned….

Have a Wild Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  2. Oh My! What a great group of quilters. I love the black and brown table runner. The borders on the kids quilt and the Grand Illusion are wonderful. So fun to see what everyone is doing. The shrug is such a great idea. Wonder if that pattern is somewhere or if she made it up.

  3. Gorgeous quilts!!! Anne's tablecloth and the nameless beauty are my particular favs. If you are able to point us to a source for the shrug pattern, I'd appreciate very much!
