Yesterday was my last Clubhouse Day…:o((( So ends my three month Quilting Retreat! I know…all good things must come to an end…but it really does feel like we just got here! On the other hand, I AM missing home…and our wonderful Spring weather and of course my friends and family at home! So it IS TIME! We leave tomorrow!
Here’s a glimpse of our Clubhouse Adventurers yesterday…yes, our hive continues to buzz with about half the bees!
First off…this lovely baby quilt…soft as baby’s powder!
Isn’t it pretty!
The Placemats continue to be cranked out…Someone’s dinner table is going to look mighty fine!
Pauline’s zigzag quilt is taking shape and it is magnificent and huge!
Sandra finished her table topper and just in the nick of time as she left for home on Tuesday! Safe travels, Sandra!
More gorgeous table mats getting their binding stitched down by Doris! SEW pretty!
Yes, the girls are on a roll…Jan’s version of the same mats! Loved them all!
And Diana’s version….Beautiful!
Diana, who is new to quilting, is practicing her skills on these mats…They are ever nicer in ‘real life’ and they are the perfect project for binding practice! Nothing like leftovers…YUM!
And a Fall version of the same mat~
Deb is on the home stretch…she has finished her quilting and is now putting on the binding! Yeah, Deb…she is looking magnificent!
Kim has prepped her Laundry Basket quilt and is machine appliqueing the motif. I can’t wait to see this one finished…maybe next year in our Clubhouse Quilt Show! It is going to be stunning!
Karen was working on her newest project…in the most unusual and beautiful fabrics…
This is the pattern…
She has finished the blocks and is ready to sew it together…but that will have to wait for HOME because that’s what she is doing…heading home! Safe travels, Karen!
Here is Sandy’s FIRST casserole carrier! She did such a great job, that she is now working on Casserole Carrier number TWO! Can you guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year? She is making them in the cutest kitchen-y prints!
Be prepared to SWOON because that is what JoAnne is going to make us do! She is building the ‘Swoon’ blocks by Thimble Blossom!~
And let me tell you, each block is massive! They really showcase her Kansas Trouble fabrics…swoon! Told you!
This shows just how big each block is!
Kim finished off her sweet baby quilt…a gift to her son’s friend!
Lovely loop-ti-loop quilting!
Chris is working on her “Come On To My House” quilt and let me tell you, this quilt is going to be S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G!! Love it! Sew worth the time and effort that Chris is taking to make this quilt!
She now has a stack of trees to go with the stars! Just wonderful!~
Kim’s newest creation made from Primitive Gatherings newest fabric called ‘Lakeside Gatherings’! Another big and fast project!
Kim bought this book…and she is going BIG! This looks like a great book!
And YES, I was busy…this is after I picked up the big stuff! I sew like Eleanor Burns…cut and over the shoulder! YIKES!!
I forgot to take pictures of our Pot Luck Luncheon! Man, these ladies know how to cook up a mean casserole…salad, dessert…and of course…QUILT! Safe travels, ladies…it was a SLICE! See you all next year!
Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Stitching!~P
So much creativity! Thanks for the wrap up, Paulette, and safe journey to you too!

ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip and enjoy the quilt shops on the way, if you stop over in Portland hope you can get to Pioneer Quilts, it's beautiful in their new location.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the drive home, P! With quilt shops, that should take you about three weeks?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a safe journey. I will miss your clubhouse girls.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great day at the club clubhouse, those placesmats look interesting. Have a fabulous road trip home.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you are leaving, I so looked forward to all those wonderful quilt-shop photos. But, on the other hand, I'll be looking forward to all the news from Heritage Quilters when you get home. Safe travels, enjoy the drive, and I'll bet you get lots of stitching done.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, the girls are working on some beautiful quilts. I love the designs on the baby quilt, that is so cute.
