January Quilt Group @ Vickie's 2011

Jeanene started off the night with her completed 2010 challenge quilt.  She is the first to put it together.  We all loved the colors and it inspired us get get ours finished.



If that was not enough she brought 5 quilts she just picked up from the quilter.  Did she know that we just had Christmas?
Love the Pink and Brown dresses (Hand Embroidery). 


Love the quilting!


This picture does not do this quilt justice.  It is fabulous.


A baby quilt with plush Minky in the back and again fabulous quilting.


The quilting on the boarder show up in this picture with the scalloped edge. 


This quilt is a pattern Jeanene got in Alaska.  The Animals done with Redwork.

Cristi and her Mom have been doing hemstitching and have packets  ready to go to crochet an edge.
Rachelle finished two more blocks of our challenge. 
Rachelle did the Planet Patchwork New Years Day Mystery quilt.  Rachelle always completes this challenge
and this one turned out really great.
Jewelry Rachelle made over the holidays.  Rachelle is so creating.
Maryann brought a quilt to show.  She is  donating this quilt for an auction/fund raiser for a friends husband fighting cancer.  Very Generous Maryann!




This quilt I have  been working on for a few year.  I am pleased the way it is turning out.
I have been making it up as I go.
I had to adjust on a some seams to make it work. What Err!
Donna's Fun Sudoku  Quilt.  She says it is totally correct.
Peg is showing the quilt she made of a new Grandson "Boston"coming in March. She found some great  Aqua  Minky to go on the back. 
Peg also brought a quilt her daughter pieced.  Everyone loved the color combinations.
Vickie Our Busy Host was has some dish towels  of her Mother-in law.  Vickie is making aprons out of them using the embroidery on the dish towels and adding a fabric flower and ribbon.  So So Cute.   
She uses all shapes.  
Vickie served this wonderful  fruit cobbler.  Earlier  in the evening the girls in Vickie's family got together for a little cooking class.  They cooked while we were showing our quilts and then they served us cobbler for refreshments.
Vickie said she would post the recipe.
It was such a fun night.
We all missed getting together and we had a lot to catch up on.
