A Rainy Day is a Great Day for Quilters!

Bell County Quilters met at the home of Karen Coates on a rainy day in March, but a great time was had by all. Karen had prepared some delicious goodies for breakfast.

Sew and share consisted of a variety of projects.

Sara made a pillowcase for Charles, who likes Eeyore.

No, that small quilt is not for Charles, even though it is the same Eeyore fabric.

Sara explained her technique for "tying" the quilt, which was quick and easy.

Sara also added cording on the pillowcase.

Carole shared a holiday project we may want to revisit.

It is a placemat star made of Christmas cards!

Looks great!

Sue shared her bag made with plastic shopping bags.

 

And her latest crochet efforts:

Karen shared some of her cross stitch.

And she and Carole discussed some cross stitch layouts.

Karen shared some of her other quilts.

Another work of art shared! Beautiful!

What a prolific group of quilters we are! 

Susan invited quilters to take part in a friendship quilt at the next meeting.

While others looked on, she shared the process.

Karen asked the group for advice for covering the bottom of her portable desk.

When we got down to work, everyone worked on different projects.  In fact, Marilyn and Susan were the only two sewing on machines that day.

Margaret was even working on some "fluffing" to rehab the "fur" on her granddaughter's jacket.

Then, of course, it was time to eat.  What a feast!

As usual, we had a great day!  Thanks, Karen for having us at your home!
