Woolie Tuesday

Today was our get together of the Woolie gals. Usually, Anna is running around with her camera taking pictures like crazy. But…if you’ve read her blog recently, you’ll know that she lost her Mom on Saturday. I know that she would want to see what we’ve been up to so, Anna, this one’s for you!

Mary finished up her cute witch by Bird Brain Designs.

Sandy brought in her “Henrietta Whiskers”. She’s finished and the last block just came out last Monday. What an over-achiever! She also changed all the blackbirds into crows to give it a bit more primitive look. Isn't it cute?

She also brought me back my quilt which she quilted for me. It was a Block of the Week a couple of years ago from Primitive Gatherings. She did a wonderful job of quilting it for me.

We all know that I don’t quilt. As Mary says, “I quilt by check”. I agree!

Our group meets at one of the local quilt shops, Quiltworks. Marilyn and the girls have done a great job of getting it ready for fall. The entry display is bolts and bolts of gorgeous flannels. (never mind that it was 90 degrees here today….fall will come eventually!)

And cottons perfect for whipping up some pumpkins.

I have this patterns and bought the red fabric…Hmmm, guess I need to actually MAKE the quilt, huh?

Lots of yummy wool.

And patterns.

My latest obsession….Civil War fabrics.

Cute table runner using a Crabapple Hill pattern. This will be a class.

The shop is also offering these next 2 quilts as Block of the Months.

If you’re interested in either one, give them a call. They’d be more than happy to ship to you.

We had a great day, but really missed our friend Anna.

Hugs, Anne

Quilt show finale

Wow, I’m not to be trusted with blogging, am I?   Time just seems to get completely away from me.   So, I’m just going to finish up with a few of my favorite quilts and be done with the show! 

Leave it to quilters to find the answer!!!

Check out these dimensional stars.  I’ve never seen them before.

Cute Jan Patek pattern.

Bunny Hill’s “Tiny Town”

O Tannenbaum

And, last but not least, I loved this quilt of Crater Lake.

Hope you enjoyed the show.  Sorry it took me so long to get it posted. 

Hugs, Anne

A storm

We had a huge thunder/lightening storm pass through here on Wednesday. I really don’t like lightening AT. ALL. I think it goes back to my childhood when we were stationed as a military family in Leavenworth, KS. I used to hide in the closet during them. I’m often tempted to hide in the closet during them now.

So, anyway, you’ve heard all the warnings about not being in the water during a storm? Well, it looks like these little guys listened to those warnings.

During the power outage, Mr. CnW and I went out on the front porch and what did we see?

12 geese marching down the middle of the street.

They then formed a single file line with the largest in front (assuming that’s Daddy) and the next to the largest bringing up the rear (Mommy?).

I have to say that it certainly took my mind off the storm for a brief moment. So cute.

For all you people in the path of Irene, please stay safe!

Hugs, Anne

Quilt Show part 3

This time I scheduled the posting date before I even started writing so that I didn’t have 3 big posts in one day.  LOL

Kim Diehl came to the guild and did a workshop last May.  These are the finished quilts from the class.

The shadows sure aren’t good for picture taking.

A group of book club ladies did their interpretations of “On the Divinity of Second Chances”.

I definitely don’t have that creative gene in me! 

The next group is the guild’s challenge quilts.   The theme was “What Women Love”

Darn shadows…this one was very whimsical.  Big burly men.

I didn’t realize I had taken so many pictures.   I have lots more, so stay tuned!

Hugs, Anne
