First Wednesday

Pat hosted First Wednesday at the Herzfeld Memorial Library in Benton.   As usual, it was good to gather with friends and share our quilting projects, recipes, etc. 

 

Fay worked on some little applique flowers for her block of the month quilt (pictured in the previous post).  She said there are a LOT of these:

 

and for a change of pace she worked on hexagons:

Cathy was also working on hexagons:

Sidney finished a blue and white quilt top.  It looks like a "Turning Twenty" with sashing:

Jean brought her applique project:

Henrietta had redwork:

 

Sue brought a block from her Woodland Friends quilt:

and a project she made in an embroidery class--a Christmas hand towel:

 

Sharon finished a baby quilt for her future grandchild.  Yes, there is a vacant spot in the middle.  The name of the child will be embroidered on fabric and inserted there:

 

Jane put the finishing touches on a wall hanging:

Pat worked on her sheep blocks (wool on flannel):

Judy had more of her blocks finished.  These are all made from 1930's fabrics and feed sacks.  She will be sharing a tutorial on how to make this block in the Daytime Stitchers group:

 

Not only did everyone share their projects but several shared recipes which I will try to post on this blog under "recipes."

 

 

All for now.  Next time, I'll try to do a better job of getting the post up right after the event.  Until then--happy stitching,
