Hockey night in Canada Widow's club

Hello everyone!  Isn't that a great name for a quilting group?  One of our local quilt shops (http://www.alongcamequilting.com/), hosts the club every Saturday night during the hockey season.  For $13 dollars, you get a table in their classroom and can work on your projects.  A quilt professional is available if you want/need help.  Not to mention the fact there is a whole big, beautiful store available to shop in too.  A few of the Sew and Sews spent Saturday afternoon and evening there, working away on our projects.  What a fun time we had!

Enjoy!

Here's Sue, working on her postage stamp quilt.  This is her quilt-along project from P.S. I Quilt (http://www.psiquilt.com/) and it is just spectacular.  Here's a link to the Flickr page for the quilt-along

Michelle's just settling in.  She's working on a project for her beautiful grand-daughter...lucky girl.

Here's one of the blocks Michelle made...aren't those colours vibrant?  Love it!  She's rockin' the disappearing nine-patch!

Marilyn's the picture of concentration...how's that quilt comin' along, girl?

Yoohoo!  What a fabulous quilt...love those fabrics together!!  This is her first pieced quilt, congrats Marilyn!


This is one of the projects I worked on, a pattern I found at the Moda Bake Shop (http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/10/charming-stars-quilt.html#more ). 
Those yummy fabrics are from the Dilly Dally line by Me and My Sister.

  1. Just thought I'd pop in and mention that yesterday I came across a blog where you can work on a mystery quilt next Sunday during the Superbowl. There is some prep work involved but you work on it for about 6 hours with installments every hour. It's here http://planetpatchwork.com/squarecentermystery/squarecenter1.htm

  2. We look very enthusiastic. Next time there must be a picture of you and not just your block. (Though that block is certainly excellent)

    Thanks Mary for getting us coordinated etc. I feel like you and Sue are our mentors and the learning process is going to be great.
