Donna Rissman came in at the beginning of the meeting and showed a few of us her great Halloween table topper. She had to leave before the actual show and tell started, but I got a photo of her project.
Lu Karatzas showed her completed wreath wall hanging and a memory pillow she made from a close friend's favorite shirt.
Carol Riggs made 2 wreath wall hangings as gifts for some friends.
Marty
Rhyne wrote down that she was going to show "stuff". She brought out
a purse she finished, some place mats made from fish fabric panels and an assortment of great
coasters.
Nella Rose wowed us with a Dresden flower wall hanging and a hexie quilt she is making by hand.
Eileen Navikas showed a fidget quilt and several children's clothes she is making for her sister to take on a church trip to the Haiti.
Suzanne Brown brought her latest embroidery projects - a Disney zipper bag, a Halloween wall hanging, and a table mat with embroidery machine quilted blocks.
At the end of Show and Tell I turned it over to Nita Hand. She brought a big stack of re-purposed denim and accent fabric for everyone to make their own bottle caddies. It looked like everyone had fun with this project.
While everyone was busy cutting, ironing and sewing, I tried an experiment. I had ordered a projector and screen from the rec center, and successfully hooked it up to my pc to show a YouTube. This was a video on zig-zig binding and a woman who does art quilts. A few ladies settled in to watch the video, while others listened to it in the background. I think the experiment was a success and we may do it again sometime.
Next week we will make 60 degree table runners. This is an easy project to do, but takes border fabric to come out right. I sent the supply list out in an email. If you didn't get the list and want to try this fun project, let me know.
