Grace"s Jacket and Wounded Worrier Quilts

This is Grace's new jacket (swetshirt)... Her mom wanted the Harley Davison patch on it... Oh, I forgot to tell you that Grace is a dog (Pug)... She will be quite sweet in this swetshirt... Enjoy Grace.. :)

Here is Jan and Carol working on the quilts... Lynn is giving them instruction on how to quilt them... :)

Sally was looking at the quilt that Kathy made... Kathy was getting ready to layer it to quilt... :)

Of course Judy was quilting a quilt... I think she was threading her machine because she ran out of thread... :)

This is the lable we put on the quilts... Sorry, it is blurry but it say's "Created especially for you by The Cape Cod Quilters Guild 2012"... We also attached a baggie with washing instructions and a color catcher... :)

This quilt is all finished... These quilts will go to wounded service men who are in a wheel chair to cover them... I am sure they will be surprised and love what we did for them... We have about 15 lap quilts made to give... Everyone did a great job on their blocks made for these quilts... The ladies did a wonderful job quilting the quilts... Hugs :)

Luanne's Birthday Brunch

I forgot to post this a few weeks ago... But, Luanne decided to celebrate her Birthday with the "Jenkins Gang" ... We all went to P-town and met at a restaurant for brunch.... It was wonderful... Here are all of us at the restaurant.... :)

This next picture is of Luanne and Kelly (her partner)... They are so much fun ... :)

Luanne gave everyone some candy kisses and a scratch card... I think everyone won something except a few of us and one did win $200.00.... When we left the restaurant we then went to Luanne's condo to have some cake... Like we had room for it, but Luanne did not know we made a quilt for her ... Judy read a write up of how it all came to be....:)

The next pictures is the quilt and a close up of the center... Oh, I forgot to let you all know that Luanne loves purple and she wanted a purple car for her birthday... LOL :)

Well, as you see Luanne got her purple car... We all signed the quilt and she has to give it back to be quilted... We all had a wonderful time... "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Luanne.... Hugs :)

"Biscuit Basket"

This is called a "Biscuit Basket", a pattern from Aunties Two.... Carol came to our guilt meeting and talked about her products and how Aunties Two came about... Carol was a very interesting guest speaker and we all enjoyed her... I took her class the next day and made this biscuit basket.... The fabric's I used are pink and yellow peeps... I made it for my Grandson for his Easter Basket.... I will be making another one for me in different fabrics.... The class was fun and we all enjoyed making this basket... You can go to Carols web site at  www.wingspancrafts.com , there you can see all her patterns... Hugs :)

Sanibel Beach

This the lighthouse on Sanibel Beach... The second picture of the lighthouse is a closer look ... It was the strangest lighthouse I have ever seen... Yes, it is a working lighthouse... :)

From Dunedin we went to Fort Myers... It was a 80 degree day and a lovely day for a walk of the beach... We did walk in the water, it felt like bath water, it was warm.... It was also a wonderful day to pick shells up from the beach... The sand was so warm on our feet.... We all just loved getting out in the sun... Hugs :)

Dunedin Florida

This is one of a few quilt shop we went to... It was located on the west side of Florida, in Dunedin... It is called "Rainbows End"... There was so much to see her that it was overwhelming.... We drove from Juniper (on the east coast) to Dunedin a three hour ride .... A friend of ours met us for lunch and then we went to the quilt shop... We all found some fabric's that we had to have.... One of the ladies that worked there would only let me take a picture of the shop in front of the store only.... In the second picture you can see Ruth J. with a bolt fabric in her arm... You would have to click on the picture to get a better look....  Hugs :)

My Vacation in Flordia

Hi all... I just got back from Florida... I was staying at my friends (Ruth J.) house.. Here are a few things we worked on while I was there.... This wall hanging was a gift that I received from Ruth J. for Christmas... I decided to get it done while I was on vacation... The angle is by Jim Shore and his fabrics... It was quick and easy to do and I had it done in one day... Click on the picture and you can get a better look at it... :)

These two Saint Patrick Day wall hangings were made by Ruth J. .... She made these wall hangings for a friend and her sister... Ruth has made one for every month for them... They are so cute and I love the shamrock button on their hats... Lovely job Ruth... :)

I helped Ruth to put these pictures squares together for her.... They are pictures of her husband and their children and their children..... The squares around the pictures are fabric's from her late husband shirts...Then I framed them with the black... Ruth will be putting them in a frame so she can give them to each of the children and their children for Christmas... What a wonderful idea and a beautiful memory to have these... :)

Here is a closer look at the whole pictures...I put 9 of them together for her... Don't you just love the idea she had... :)

This is Ruth's dog Jody... She is the sweetest ever... Every morning she would come into my room to wake me so I could take her out and to feed her breakfast... I surly miss my alarm clock...:)

While I was working on the picture's blocks, Ruth was working on this shirt quilt for herself... The pictures in this quilt top are of her and her husband... I love the shirts and the stitching she put on the shirts... The shirts are the ones her husband had worn... Some were will worn and very thin, but we put a cotton interfacing on the back of them... What a wonderful memory quilt she made... The next picture is of a closer look of the shirts... :)

Click on the picture and you can see the stitching she has done on each shirt... I hope I did not bore you these pictures and I have many more to post for another day... But, I had a wonderful time at Ruth's and lots of laughs... Thanks Ruth this hug is for you  ... Hugs :)

Saturday Sewing Society

Here are some pictures of what the ladies brought to our group to share with us... We meet the 3rd Saturday of every month to sew and share our talents... The first two pictures were made by Peg P. ... They were lovely and Thanks for sharing Peg.... :)

Sorry, Peg... I forgot to post this wall hanging .... Peg made this wall hanging, The blocks were machine embroidery and they were beautiful... Peg has finished sewing on the binding.... :)

These three quilts were made by Nancy P. ... The first quilt is beautiful and the picture does nothing for the beauty of the quilt... The next two are table toppers or you could hang them... Nancy was quilting them and putting on the bindings... They all were so lovely... :)

This quilt was made by Kathy W. ... Again the picture does not do any good for what it looks like... The dark material has the nesting dolls on the print... What a beautiful job Kathy did on this quilt... :)

Here is Judy O. working on the blocks for the quilts of valor.... Just to let you all know if it wasn't for Judy to do all the organizing to keep Saturday Sewing Society going, we would not be meeting... She arranges everything to coffee, getting this room at the Brewster Senior Center, and making sure there is a cake and card for the ladies who has a birthday that month... We are very Thankful for all that she does.... Thanks Judy... If you click on any picture you can get a better look at them .... Hugs :)

Basket Liner

This basket was given to me by my friend (Jan K.).... I decided to line it so I can take the things that I need for sewing away from home... When I go to class or friends house, etc.... The basket is old and has seen its days.... The liner has brought new life to the basket... The fabric I used, I had bought it in Florida when I was there last year... I love the ruffle that has different embroidery stitches on it... If you click on it you can see the pattern.... Hugs :)

Grandma's Button Box

This table topper is called "Grandma's Button Box.... If you click on the picture you can see the different buttons I used... This is the first time that I made prairie  points and I found it easy.... I do not know why I did not do these before.... This topper I bought before I left Wisconsin, at Ye Ole Schoolhouse Quilt Shop in Cedarberg.... It fits perfect on my table.... I am happy the way it came out.... The second picture is the label that I put on it.... Hugs :)

Amrillis and Other Things

This is a Amrilli's that I recieved from my friend for Christmas... The blosoms were beautiful... :)

These two Redwork are ready to be put in a Tabletopper... Ruth asked me to do the stitchery for her... The background fabric is cream color with white snowflakes.... The pattern these will be going in is a wonderful pattern.... I will show them when Ruth gets these done... :)

These two pictures are of Pete who is trying to help me sew this quilt... So, you ladies out there who have cats, and are in your way of sewing, I just wanted you to know you are not alone... Birds can do the same thing.... :)
I know I have not posted much this month but, I have three projects going at the same time ... Hang in there because I am starting to come to the end of two of them and I will be posting them soon.... I always finish one project first before I start another... I do not know why I decided to do three at one time.... So, don't give up on me just yet and Thanks for following my blog... Hugs :)
