A LITTLE QUILT SHOW... the gals at Tuesday Group have been busy.

The gals at Tuesday's Friendship Group Meeting sure have been busy, especially Rosemary! She made several quilts in the last couple of weeks. Here are a couple:

Rosemary also does beautiful embroidery!


The happy quilt below was made by Joy. She cut up a 'cheater' panel; added wedges to skew the blocks, then added sashing and a great pieced border. Very effective. She also designed some embroidery for the center block to embellish it.  This is Joy's original design -- great quilt, but I'm sorry I took such a poor photo:


Jill brought a fun gadget to share. It is a portable, hand-held scanner that she can carry in her purse. Her goal is to scan fabrics as she shops for them in order to create a personal fabric history.  Then she can upload the scans into her new EQ7 program creating her own personal Fabric Library to design with. Sounds like fun.


So, just for fun we scanned some of my Fruit and Veggie fabrics that I had in my sewing kit... just to see how it works, you understand...lol. . . we learned a little about the scanner by trying it out. . . here is the Corn FQ:


Today is a very short post. Tomorrow or Saturday I hope to post pics of my Hexie blocks. . . I have a TON of them! lol

Until then, thank you for stopping by. . .

Hugs,

Your friends quilts are beautiful! I like the one made from the cut up pannel, because it is so "crooked" and still perfectly sewn. The ABC Quilt is so colourful, it will sure make some child happy, and the one with the embroidery is nice also!

I just bought one of those scanners to do family photos and papers and such. I haven't used it yet, but I hope to free up some room in the closets.
