Dianne's Quilts

Dianne sent me more pictures of the quilts she is working on lately.

She is making quilts for all of her sisters and nieces.
And she has a lot of them!

Scrappy Tuesday

Carol Jones made this quilt and showed it to her Scrappy Tuesday class.

Nancy Ellis made this one. Just adding the blue to the background makes it look so different than an all white background!
Here Carol is helping Nancy Ellis audition fabric for the corners.
This is another of Carol's quilts.
Loretta Nunheimer designed this quilt in Scrappy II class.

Quilts

Dianne says "Hello from Florida!" She is expecting her first Granddaughter any time now and has this quilt and valence ready for her.

She has another quilt ready for her, too, and she'll send a picture of that one soon. Also some other quilts she has started or finished!
Carol Ayotte brought in this quilt to show us. It was quilted by Tricia Wolski. It's a great design to use batiks with.
Dottie Long made this quilt for a new grand nephew who is due is April!
Guess what! Yesterday there were trucks and whatever you call these things behind the store fixing the parking lot!
Look how nice it looks! Level and no potholes and covered with new stones!

Misc.

The Pembroke Tumbleweed is still in the process of closing. Everything in the store is now 30% off. There's some really good deals there!

Laurie LaConte will be at Tumbleweed (W. Barnstable) on Thursday, March 24, from 1-2:30 to pick up, drop off, and answer any long arm quilting questions you may have.

Adele has a "Traditional Style, Modern Methods" class scheduled for Wednesday, March 24 and 30 from 10-4. You can also come either day and work on any project you may be doing. Please let us know tomorrow if you will be coming.

Debbie Zeida has been busy with her Jo Morton Club quilts. This patriotic one is called "Liz's Little Quilt" and is the first pattern for Club #10, starting in May.

This applique one is also a sample of one of the Club 10 quilts.
This embroidered one is called "The Sisters" and is the last pattern from Club 9.
Carol Ayotte made this black and white bag. It has the snap open and closed feature.
Betty Crowell stopped in and showed us her latest work-in-progress, this beautiful blue bargello quilt. She said it's about a third done. It's going to be huge!!

Quilts by Diane H. McGuire

Diane McGuire made quilts to celebrate the Read Across America Week in Raynham. She made one for the children's room at the Raynham Public Library and one for Kathleen Roberts who started the Read Across America program in Raynham fourteen years ago.

Kathleen is a 96 year old retired elementary school principal and former Massachusetts Teachers' Association President who still dresses up as The Cat IN The Hat every year!

Pictured left to right: Eden Ferguson, Library Director, Karen Brothers, Children's Librarian, Diane H. McGuire (quiltmaker), and Kathleen Roberts AKA The Cat In The Hat.

New Fabric!

We received some new Kaffe Fassett fabric today!

Brand new colors for a lot of the most loved patterns!
I love them all!
Come in and see for yourself!!

We also received Songbirds from Quilting Treasures with some sky to go with them!
The new fabric brightened up the place on this rainy yucky day!

Willie's

Willie made this quilt recently. Very colorful!

Here's the back. Willie always does pieced backs. It's more interesting than a plain back and uses up a lot of fabric left over from the front.
Here's some fun kitchen accessories she made!
She made this quilt for a new baby boy. This is the back of the quilt.
Here's the front. It's got everything in it-whales, trucks, cars, firetrucks, dots, etc. The baby is going to have a lot of fun looking at all the fun things and colors!
