Our members were busy despite the holiday season so Show and Tell was a treat.
Melanie had a [nearly] finished Anna Maria Horner quilt that endured several affronts from water damage and magic markers but managed to be spectacular anyway.

Laura showed off the Do Good Stitches Dessert block quilt. A triumph that included setting triangles, consulting the Pythagorean Theorem and battling minkee. The on point design with the secondary design is a winner that will make some little girl very happy.
Diane showed off a lovely Missouri Star quilt with a soothing palette and darling bird panels that look like applique. The hand quilting detail around the birds is charming.
Stephanie had a productive month that included some clutch envy, not-so-stash-busting rainbow potholders and this darling quilt made by her six year old daughter. Like mother, like daughter.
Mary made a quilt top for an ailing cat of her vintage loving sister with vintage sheets.
And another futile stash busting attempt with this string quilt made from Portsmouth Fabric Company scraps.
Allison's black and white quilt may look familiar but this is #4 Baby Quilt and she found out that a #5 is needed. Yikes!
Nancy had a Tokyo Subway mini that is a stunner.
Bag making began with some trepidation (see Laura's expression) but Jess' gentle affirmations and confidence-building tutelage, sewing began.
Steph and Mary dove right in.
And the inevitable "Yahoo!" moment is celebrated with our fearless instructor. Thanks again for a great workshop, Jess.
Next month we will be having a Batting workshop with Sue Trask at the Fremont Library. See you then!
