Weekly Update - April 23, 2016

I haven't gotten the notes from Micki yet, so here are last week's photos with just my memory.

Our ladies came through with  6 completed quilts and 2 afghans, plus one more quilt top in progress for Hospice.   Great work!  I delivered the completed quilts and afghans on Wednesday and picked up 10 more of the Hospice center blocks for those who want to make more. I'll hand them out next Saturday.

Micki started show and tell with her Hospice quilt.

 Lois Rose showed an eagle puff fidget quilt,2 fabric flower corsages, and a cover she made for her mixer.

Joan Thomas Showed her crazy patchwork quilt and her completed towel turban.

 BJ showed her finished potholders and her sewing machine tool caddy.

Bev Minnerly brought 3 fidget quils

Lu Karatzas finished 2fidget quilts and by the end of the meeting had her sewing maching caddy done too!

Eileen DiSanto  made a fidget quilt and brought 3 quilts and a quilt game donated by her friend Roberta. The quilts and game went to the Ocala  Shelter for Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse.

Pat Pipa showed several crazy quilts and the holder she made out of the latest one.

Elaine Krise and her friend were very busy this week, making 9 fidget quilts!

Helen Lawrie came back to us with 2 beautiful fidget quilts.

Marti Rhyne showed her completed microwave potholder bowls.  These are very popular, since, when made correctly with all cotton fabric, batting & thread, they go into the microwave with the bowl and don't heat up.

Linda Parr showed a military themed quilt she had almost finished, for a friend whose husband just passed away. This shows what can be done quickly with a panel fabric.

Sue Campbell came with 2 quilts, one for our regular charities and one for Cornerstone Hospice.

 Our ever photo-shy Marie Bray showed a fidget quilt backed by her crazy quilt

 Carol McCullay and Ellen Hein also brought great fidget quilts.
