I'm back...again!

Hi  everyone, I'm finally back. I can't believe almost a year has gone by since I last posted. I know I say I will try to write more and I will but don't want the expectations to be too high! Life has gotten in the way of me doing any sewing but after the meeting of the Good Enough Quilters tonight, I am inspired. Also realized I have two quilts to get made as quickly as possible. 

We didn't have a project tonight, just show and tell. Dru started  us off with two projects. 




This little pouch is Dru's finish from last meeting. Cindy showed everyone how to make this little beauty. You won't see mine since I didn't even try to do it. I was the cheerleader on the side.


Dru also brought a WIP with her. She only has to finish the binding and then she can enjoy this runner on top of her dresser. She used some of that wonderful Life is Good fabric. Remember that?


Don't  you love this large tote that Cindy made? I didn't get a closeup for you but the fabric is simply fabulous.


This little bag was Cindy's other project. She insisted it was quick to make. Hmmmmm.

Then we moved to sharing new fabric. Cindy was given lovely, colorful African waxed cloth direct from Africa. Such great colors, all of them.






Then, it was Fran's turn. She brought a beautiful crocheted baby blanket she is making for a grandbaby on the way. Don't you just love the colors she used?


Lynn had a crocheted piece too. Showed some ingenuity on her part.


Then the quilts! This was one that Lynn worked on for quite a while. It looks so Southwestern.


This one is a quilt using all pieces she had and recycling them in the quilt. She will be donating them and really feels they will appreciate the recycled aspect of this quilt. The blues in the quilt are simply stunning.


The back used up fabric too. It all works so well.


Then we oohed and aahed at Debbie's baby quilt. Great pattern and colors and if you look below you can see the amazing quilting she did on the quilt. I'm in awe. and Inspired.




I really hope all of you are well and hope to get back soon with another post. Enjoy your week, weekend, month and year. (Just in case I don't write soon enough!)
