Enchanted Autumn - Show n Tell



There has been a LOT of show n tell in the last couple of weeks. I love seeing it all. So exciting to see what colours the participants have used. Did they follow the pattern, what stitches, etc.  There is lots of details!

Yesterday we had the Enchanted Autumn class at The Hobby Horse.

Enchanted Autumn by The Vintage Spool





The homework last month was to work on the maple leaves. There are 18 of them in the quilt. Wow - half of the group had all 18 done!!!!


Linda who can't wait to quilt them and add veins with the quilting

Mary - great colours that look like real leaves

Anna - those are Canadian leaves!

Jennifer going for a soft look with those busy prints

Anita (those colours are GORGEOUS!!!)

Chris who is having loads of fun with hand applique 

And we had two new people in the class so obviously they had no show n tell, but they will next month!

I didn't get the story on this quilt. Too many conversations at once and the next group was anxious to get in the room.
I think they are Scotty dogs???  

Colleen with her show n tell

Also had another show n tell later in the day from Marion. Remember those table runners that we made a couple of weeks ago???


Table runners made from striped fabric
When we left the class, Marion's was still in pieces. And she was having a LOT of trouble finding something for the setting triangles that matched that fabric. Everything we found was too yellow or too green or not yellow enough or not green enough. It was a bit of a challenge.

Marion's progress on the table runner

BUT - she persevered and went shopping somewhere else and found a batik that matched perfectly. And now the runner is DONE!!!!

Table runner - DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is awesome!  

It is nice to go out and the temperature is NOT so frigid. And even better the sun is out. I love it. Because I am such an anal person, I am chipping away at the snow and ice at the bottom of the driveway. It is ugly and I want it gone! Let's hope we do not get snow today!

I will post the rest of the show n tell from yesterday - well I will post it tomorrow. 

Have a great day!


Ciao!!!!!!!
