It's For a Good Cause

I thought I would come over here and shake off a little dust in here...

 

So wipe your feet and come on in!!

 

 

 

It has been a long harvest season and everyone has been so busy!!

 

Our Guild Sewing has started for another season....

 

We got right to work and picked a charity to donate proceeds from our first quilt this year

 

Stars Air Ambulance Quilt

 

 

The Ashworths son was in an accident this fall and was lifted by Stars to the hospital.

 

We thought this would be a worthy cause to help!

 

This quilt is slated to be auctioned

 

at the Ashworth Bull Sale in March,2014

 

 so we got right to work!!

 

Colleen and Tracey took the ' bull' by the horns and got us all corralled in...

 

In one day, we had these Kansas Troubles cut, sewn and laid out!!

 

We were super efficient

 

 and

 

it is being quilted by our IN HOUSE longarmer...

 

Terry Whitman

 

We meet again on Thursday so stay tuned for pics of the quilted project!!

 

You may just want to attend a Bull Sale in March,2014!!

for The Block Party Guild

 

 

 

When the Cat's Away...

Yep...

It's the mouse again(Christa)!

Tracey's headed for the high seas!!

I thought I would tease you with a little update from yesterday's quilting...

Narrie Halverson has been working on a quiet book.

Each side of the page is filled with exploration!!

A little 'roo' in the pouch....



Buckles, Zippers,Buttons..

Animal finger puppets in the barn....

Too cute!! Great job, Narrie!!

We also received this donation of a Grandmother's Flower Garden top

 from a lady who has entirely hand pieced it.

(I think it's time for an iphone.. this BB camera sucks!!)

We think it is only fitting to have it hand quilted.

That was alot of work in this top!!

Then... just out of the 'blue'....

Jane Marcotte comes out with this little number!!

Jane says...oh .... did I show you this?

NO!!

When was she working on that???

JUUUSSST some old shirts and a pair of her pants!!

Jane is our 'artist in residence'.

She takes nothing and makes a miracle!!

The blue was her 'pants'...now I can see if it was a pair of mine...but her little butt??

Terry Whitman finished my Winter Wonderland

Just in time to hang for the festive season!!

As per Terry's usual style.....incredible quilting!!

Little snow swirls all over the place.....

Snowflakes of all kinds....

Big and small...

And stars in the sky!!

Thanks again, Terry!! 

The Cat (namely Tracey)will be back in a week

This mouse is out of her house!!
