I didn't include any pictures of us eating. We were way too busy chowing down to stop for that.
Afterwards, some of us shared finished projects or works in progress.
Andrea was definitely the star of the show. She brought three finished quilts. We all loved this one and couldn't believe that the center of it was actually a printed panel. It definitely looked like Andrea fussy cut all of those leaves, then appliqued them onto the cream-colored fabric. She did do some intricate work with her borders.
This is a closer view.
This quilt, which will be a gift, has a coffee theme.
Everyone marveled at the flying geese on this one.
Marty shared her seascape quilt top.
Her appliqued turtles were awesome!
Marty also brought samples of her Five Minute Blocks and Ten Minute Blocks, which are from two books by the same names.They are similar to cathedral windows.
We all had a difficult time understanding how those blocks even went together, let alone in 5 minutes' time. Here is Lois trying to figure that one out.
If it were me, I would still be sitting in that chair scratching my head. I never did understand how to construct those blocks.
Nonetheless, we were all very happy. Our tummies were full and we were in the company of some wonderful friends.
What a great way to spend Thanksgiving - healthy. Wish I could say that. :)
