PRODUCTIVE DURING THE SNOW DAYS OF WINTER

Saturday was Stitch-In at the Attic Window Quilt Shop, so some of us Happy Scrappers who couldn't get to the shop for our meeting last Wednesday, due to snow, met there today.  What a good time to socialize and sew with quilting friends, and see the show-n-tell.  Above, is the table runner that Cathy M. made.  She's getting ready for Easter.  How cute.

Cathy also made this table runner.

And she made this table runner.

 And here she is hiding behind another table runner that she made.

 She said she particularly liked the backing fabric.

This is a close-up of her snowflake.

Above is the project that Cathy is currently working on.  See the flying geese above on the right?  That strip is just pinned there.  She said she had to make 40 more flying geese.  I think Cathy was snowed in a very long time!  Then she lost power!

When her power was out, Cathy said she knitted this while snuggled by the log fire to keep warm.  So soft and pretty.  

Marilyn showed us the wool blocks she has been working on.  They are from the book Whimsical Wool Applique by Kim Schaefer.  I'm making some of the blocks in cottons.  

 Marilyn also showed us this cute little Gertie box that she made.

I opened the top so you could see inside.  This is so cute and Marilyn will be having a class on how to make this.  It probably won't be held until next month because the patterns are not in at the shop yet.  

I think I caught Lee Anne laughing.  She worked all day on sewing blocks together.  I made her promise to let me take a picture when her quilt is all put together.  Her fabrics are stunning.

ATTENTION: Monday hours have changed.  The Attic Window Quilt Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday during the months of February, March, and April.  Tuesday through Saturday hours have not changed and will remain the same as usual.
