Hello Quilters!  The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday and they have been productive.  Above, Marti shows us what she is working on now. 
Marti has been busy! She  makes the most beautiful bags.  I love the one above!!
This is the other side of that bag.  It's stunning!

This is the book that has the pattern for the blocks Marti is making (shown above).

And, this is another bag  that Marti made.  She is awesome!

Patty is making this Cancer Survivor quilt for dear friend.   How wonderful she is!!!  
Jane was busy making another quilt. This one is for a neighbor boy.   I love this one with the Little Engine That Could!
Penny ran home and brought back her husband to fix Cathy's (above) little sewing machine!  What a life saver she was that day!  She gets a special award for her kindness!
Above, Nancy shows  us the block she made today.  These blocks are 2.5 inches!  Wow!  No wonder she's decided to make it into a table topper!

  

You have to see this.  It is adorable.  This is what Penny worked on today.   

Above, Penny shows us her almost finished project.  She said it is a bag for one of her relatives to store his toys in.  So cute!!

She also showed us another quilt that she finished and had quilted.  It is wonderful!  As I recall she said that this goes to charity.  Any Child or adult will love this quilt! 

 

And, this is what I worked on today.   I read on-line about using adding machine tape and sewing your scraps to it.  What a great idea.  I'll use it as a boarder! And finally get rid of some of those very small and odd shaped fabrics!!

THE HAPPY SCRAPPERS HAVE A FUN DAY

The Happy Scrappers met Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop! 

    I realize it was close to the holiday and people were either on vacation already or getting ready to leave, and I wondered if anyone would come today.  But Val and Jane were there and we had a wonderful time sewing and gabbing and snacking on the great Brownies that Jane made for us!  Thank you Jane.  Above is Jane showing us what she worked on that day.   It's going to be a lovely quilt and, I can't wait to see it finished and quilted.  She said it is for charity. 

And above is Val.  She is so sweet!  She brought me lots of thread to use when quilting the charity quilts!  And gave me a book of patterns.  Can't wait to start those, but that will have to wait for when I have some time.  Those gals at the charity group have been keeping me busy doing long arm quilting!  I love it!

This is a close up of the panel Val is working on.  Look closely and see all the very tiny stitches she is making!  It is awesome!

 Don't forget, the Happy Scrappers meet the last Saturday of the month.   Everyone is welcome. Bring a project to work on. Hope to see you there in June.

THE HAPPY SCRAPPERS HAVE SOME SHOW AND TELL

 The Happy Scrappers met Saturday at The Attic Window Quilt Shop.  We missed seeing a few people because they were off on retreat, but we still had a great time visiting, sharing, and quilting.  Above, Jana Lee adds binding to her quilt.

Above, Tammy shows these small pieces she's been working on.  I can't wait to see what she does with them.  She showed me this pattern that she is going to use them for. 
 
This should be fantastic.  Can't wait to see the finished quilt. 
 
Deb shows us the fabrics she worked with today
.
She is going to make this bag.  I'm eager to see it, too. Maybe she'll have it all done by the time we meet next month???


 
Lee Anne was busy piecing this lovely quilt together.  Don't you just love the colors!
And, I'd like you to meet Karen.  Since Chris was off in another state attending a relative's graduation, Karen was in charge of the Shop today.  I don't know how long she'll be there, but stop in and say Hi.  She's very helpful and friendly.  Hopefully, we'll see her again.

And, that Jana Lee said she was playing Jane today. Jane was off on some retreat and Jana Lee knew we would miss the cookies that Jane always brings, so she said she would play Jane today.  These cookies were wonderful!  Thank you Jana Lee!

Don't forget, the Happy Scrappers meets the last Saturday of the month.   Everyone is welcome. Bring a project to work on. Hope to see you there in June.

THE HAPPY SCRAPPERS APRIL MEETING

Hello Quilters! The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday and I have lots of pictures to show you today.  Jane showed us her latest quilts for charity.  She said the above snowman quilt was a panel and she used flannel for the background.  

And this is another quilt that Jane is donating to charity.  They both are so darn cute.  What child wouldn't love one of these!

Tammy worked on this quilt, cutting the wee small pieces for it and sewing them together. I really admire her patience.
As you can see in the photo, this block is only a 4 inch square, so the little pieces that make up the block are very small!!!


Marty joined us today.  It was so nice to see her and catch up with what all she's been doing.  She didn't bring any sewing today.  She just wanted to chat and see what everyone is working on and see what is new in at the Shop.  We were so glad to see her. 


And Joyce joined us today.  She hasn't been to Happy Scrappers since she moved up north, and that was years ago.  It was so nice to see her.  

Pat, left, and Val, joined us today.  As you can see, Val was working on this lovely stitchery.  

And Pat was busy making these small flowers.  I'm eager to see what she is going to do with them. 

Penny was busy sewing these squares together.  Each square was given to a visitor at the recent All State Shop Hop.

And here is what she did with them.  She made this bag!  How clever!  What a great way to use them!

 

 Above is Jane.  Don't you love her glasses!  I think they are perfect when doing small stitch sewing like on the following.

Jane was working on these small Christmas Tree Ornaments.

Above are close ups of the small squares.  She is making them into Christmas Tree ornaments for her nieces and nephews. 

 And these are the backs of the ornaments.  I hope to get a picture of one of them when it is all finished and ready to hang.

And Lee Anne was diligently working on another quilt.  Love those fabrics!

And as for me, I was doing some hand applique.  Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture.

Don't forget, the Happy Scrappers meets the last Saturday of the month.   Everyone is welcome. Bring a project to work on. Hope to see you there in May.
