Layers of Love, Show and Tell, Stripping, and another Secret Sister gift!!!

Leona B. braved a knee brace (and walker) to bring in the table runner she made after watching the "Layers of Love" video with Lynne Hagmeier and Jenny Doan (this pattern is also included in Lynne's new "Layers of Love" book).   

Leona decided to make her runner one row smaller so it will fit the table she made it for.  We love the fall colors!

Thanks, Leona for hobbling into the shop to show us this stunning table runner.  

We appreciate the effort it took for you to get here.

Cathy C. brought in this quilt she recently finished for "show and tell" yesterday.  

We love the marbled lavender and bright yellows with the daisy on black (I wonder where she bought all those beautiful fabrics??).  

Great job, Cathy!  We know the recipient of this quilt will love it!

A few of our 'sisters' weren't able to attend last Saturday's banquet.  Judi M. was one of them.  I let her know her secret sister had left something for her so, she stopped by yesterday to get it!    

Judi's secret sister (Nola) took a class last Friday using a new method to make a pillow.  

Nola started Judi's pillow at 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning and finished it in time for the party at 6:00 p.m.  Wow!  

Thanks Nola, Judi loved the pillow!

Yesterday was a work day for making the kits we'll use on September 6th for "Quilts of Valor".  

Joann, Kay, Lynn, and Cathy each brought their Accu- Quilt Go! cutters and we borrowed two others to get the job done (we needed almost 4,000 strips).   

Taking a short break for some yummy pizza from Geraldi's, we were back to work!  

Vicki, Sharon, Kay, Lynn, Cathy and Joann cut, stripped, counted and packaged all day long.  

The process was bolstered by the help of Judi's girls, Rylie and Kaitlynn, for a little while.  

At the end of the day, the kits were all cut, counted and packaged.  I just need to cut the borders and binding and we're ready to sew on September 6th.  

Thanks ladies for all your help.  I couldn't have done it without you.
