Peg brought a bunch of quilts she has been working on. She had a lot of help putting these quilts together for the project "Wrap Ukraine In Quilts" 

This one ready to finish

 

Glenna is working on a scrappy hexagon project using already cut 2 1/2 inch squares.

Vicki showing a service project she is doing  with her school. Making dresses for

 "Little Dresses for Africa".  Another great cause.

Cute Easter project from Jan.

Vintage Christmas Jan just started.

She is on her way.

Book review from Donna.  Great for teens on up.

Donna also brought a whole bag of the quilts Jeanene donated last month.

Two of our favorites JoAn and Debbie!

Mary Ann also brought a bunch of quilts to finish and donate, 

This is how Mary Ann marks her quilts to keep track of the progress.  Love this idea.

We all loved this quilt Mary Ann made with the Young Women's 

                                                            Theme for 2023.

A real treat was to tour Vicki's back yard.

She has things growing in ever inch.  Amazing!

What a great day together with some talented generous women.

Brittni’s Peanut dressing.

★★

Ingredients

PEANUT DRESSING

(Yield 5-6 servings)

2 T peanut butter

1 T honey

2 T sesame oil

2 T rice vinegar (can substitute with white vinegar)

4 T soy sauce

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

1 clove garlic

2 tsp Sriracha or 1 tsp chili flakes

I did not have fresh ginger and didn't add the Sriracha. I was short on soy sauce too so I did half soy sauce and half Mr. Yoshita's sauce (it's a teriyaki marinade). I tripled this recipe for tonight to give you an idea of how much it makes.

This Scrappy Quilt...

Donna finished this fabulous Water Color Quilt she started 15 years ago/
Donna is a perfectionist and she couldn't find the perfect color for the border so she dyed the pink to be just the right color.

 

 

My goal for this year is to finish quilts  I have started years ago. Hopefully one a month

This one I donated to my Sister , She quilted it and Donated it to a Veteran's group.

This is called "Kristen"  It has been in the works   15 years.
Needs a border out of the flower fabric.

We call this Vienna Nights
