This is what happens when you pick out your border (focus fabric)
You get this fabulous scrappy quilt that is all coordinated
Love, Love, Love it. 

Glenna (me) is working on a quilt.
My Mother-in-law started years ago.
This bag of scraps were found in her things and if I want one of her quilts,
 I will have to finish it for her.

In the scrap bag was about 14 rows of these "Tumbling Block" Strips.
I am trying to finish it like she started.
All Hand stitched!
WOW!

 Halloween project from last year is getting quilted.

I loved this cute pattern and decided I needed one.
"If the Shoe Fits...

Hedy, our big quilt maker, is putting the borders on her

Jeanene found this little antique quilt in Nauvoo .  

Blue Work and Quilting done by hand.
Very fine stitching.

Jeanene brought part of the Red and White Quilt she is working on.
She said the other rows are on her floor at home ready to sew.
Love the Red and White

Star of the night was Jeanene's

Tonight was all about Scraps
When Life give you Scraps...make a Quilt!

I (Glenna) was the host this month.
All I really  had to show this month was my
Alphabet Quilt
(Spell it with Moda pattern)
I madethis with a solid Jelly Roll and everything else came from my Scraps
Great way to use up larger pieces.

Kathee brought a quilt she bought from a school Fund raiser and it happened to be made by "Our Peg"!
Fun and Scrappy!

Kathee finished this Scrappy String  quilt.
Another great use of Scraps.

Hedy learned ho to make these adorable flip flops made with a Scrappy Flower on the top.

Jeanene said she told Doris to take a few thins off the wall and bring them with her.
She brought this because it was a great Scrappy Star.

Scrappy Back Art

No fancy desserts but in
Honor of My Mother (and Peg's)
We made bread for everyone.
Mom's birthday is the 29th of Aug.
We are honoring her by making bread a giving it to some one that might need a little lift.

Mom made bread every week
10 pound bag
10 loafs of bread
always a few went to some else.
(actual bowl she used)

Mom and brother Sam

With a simple loaf of Bread Mom lifted others load and shared others burdens and tought service to her children by example.

Happy Birthday Mom

No Half Loaf, This

Friendly were the words you said,

Tendering the loaf of bread

Oven warm and savory:

How much that gesture meant to me,

Almost a stranger, lonely, too,

And gladdened by the sight of you.

I would repay you if I could

Oh, yes the bread was extra good.

(I’d like the recipe some day.)

But let me ask you if I may,

How you acquired the finer art

O nourishing the hungry heart?

I never had the knack somehow.

(I’d like that recipe right now.)
