We met at Joyce's on Wednesday. Colleen, Penny, Joyce and I were there. There was lots of Show and Tell and getting caught up on news. Nancy will have 6 (!!) quilts in the Fraser Valley Quilt show next weekend so I hope everyone gets a chance to visit. Details are on the Upcoming Events Page.
Now for the Show and Tell.
Penny had two panels. She is working on the lovely sewing machine quilt that her friend, Shauna gave to her. Nearly done. A nice one for Penny's sewing room.
In case you're wondering, that is not the famous cat in a hat photobombing Penny. It's actually a needlework cushion.
This is her Canada quilt, which also just needs the binding stitched down. Penny told us the story of her family's trip across the country when she was a child. They travelled to Eastern Canada to pick up the new family car and drove it home. Their visit to Niagara Falls was a memorable stop.
This is a quilt that Joyce made for her Dad. It is one of the items she brought back from her father's house and she's looking for a permanent home for it. Hopefully the museum at the Nikkei Centre.
Here is the detail of the prints in the quilt.
This is the detail of the photos of the team on the back of the quilt.
Here is Colleen showing off her latest Canada wall hanging.
This is Nancy's finished rag quilt, soon to be donated to the Heron's Nest Program.
This is an adorable little hand stitched Japanese bag that Nancy made. It's all hand stitched using Japanese sashiko style fabric and quilting. Her friend, Cathy Galbraith made the adorable stitched felt button.
Here is what it looks like opened up. Perfect for those tiny items. Nancy uses it for bobbin rings.
This is Nancy's beautifully made and quilted Canada flag mug rug.
Here is the Pinwheel quilt that Penny has just finished. It will be new to all of you because Penny didn't actually have it with her on Wednesday. I made sure I took a picture of it when Penny showed it at the PSQG meeting Show and Tell lineup because she is going to donate it to the guild Community Quilts.
