Great get together with a 12 eager quilters. Only two brought actual Show and Tell. Something tells me they are saving quilts for the big WNCQ show May 19 -20 at Bonclarken Assembly Center. BUT the two quilts shown were certainly worthy. Ruth Eaton is always engaged with family quilts and her Bakery small quilt is for her granddaughter. Then we have a great story with the Show and Tell by Debbi. She spotted this beautiful hand quilted small quilt made up of miniature blocks expertly pieced. She grabbed it up at Habitat for Humanities and felt really lucky to have found it. I mentioned it resembled the work of a long time quilter friend who was in our group, Vivian Pemble. We glanced over to Vivian and sure enough IT WAS her quilt.
She just felt the need to pass it on to make room for more quilt storage. Actually she loves to piece and finish projects. Yes, she was blushing!!
Connie Wells always shares so many of her quilts, mostly scrap but always show stoppers.

Judy is our Quilts of Valor Queen. Another wonderful donation.
Judy completed this holiday tesselated tree table topped.
Jeani did wonders with scraps. Never would have imagined these colors working so well together.
Jeani had been saving sunflower fabrics so here goes!!
Ruth “unearthed” these small nine patches and sure enough found just the right diagonal setting for them. Its a “keeper’ when asked where does it go?
Finally, GiGI is done for her sister in law. That is the good news. The bad news: she lives in CA and she refuses to put it in the mail. Road Trip??
Mary proudly displays an Honorable Mention wall hanging from years ago. Guess who the judge was? Me
What a clever table runner from Judy with these tessellated trees. All set for the holidays!

Just yesterday we had a great get together with the perfect number of 10 quilters with 2 guests from Charleston, SC. We were masked and social distanced so all went well. So much fun to share our year experiences—some just cleaned studios, some quilted up a storm and some just pondered. All good.
Enjoy this show and tell from the quilters.
Carolyn surprised me with a past project from Bright Ideas for Lap Quilting, page 112. She also won the best dressed with her jumper complete with sewing objects all around the border, including tape measure!
Polly is in the mail to live with a pet Parrot in Texas. A vintage wall hanging made for my past Spinning Spools home. So glad it has a new home. Hope they can talk to each other. Circa 1990
Completing a small quilt for the Asheville Quilt Guild. Always feels good to pass on a project and recall making it originally. It is a “knock-off” from the Interlock pattern in Bright Ideas for Lap Quilting book.
(still available on the Quilt Store)
They special wall quilt was made for a Southern Highland Craft Guild Exhibition. It is an original design with machine quilting along with a hand embroidered verse from Leviticus on the border. There must be a CEO from Liberty Insurance who needs this to decorate their office or home. Come on, Quilters, help me out here!!
What would I do without my computer “guru”? Keeping up with this very techie world is a challenge. Thanks Mitch for cleaning up things. Paul come through too with techie help so his quilt will be next: maybe a special wall decor.
Griff, always comes through, whether to identify a snake, help free up a road from downed trees in a snow storm or even bring his dogs to chase out a chipmunk in the house. One always appreciates a good neighbor!
Scott, with his crew, is known for the amazing flowers and tree care on our Historic Hendersonville downtown Main Street and beyond. He just knows how to prune hydrangea and at the right time. We used to have hens in common but those pesky raccoons took care of that. Maybe again soon with an electric fence.
For the over than 25 years Kenny and now his son, Bryson, have helped maintain our wooded property. This means not only cutting grass (mostly moss) but hauling away brush, keeping Quilt Creek flowing, pruning and even identifying trees. A big thanks to them!
Instead of using it as a table for my morning coffee I actually put on my DVD and getting some great turns on the “Red”.
Connie Wells with just one of her five show and tell quilts.
Joanne Shafer is a true Quilt Diva. This is all about making use of winter time extra hours to finish projects.
Linda Lippitt, who is going to be teaching a smocking class at Beginnings Quilt Shop, is also a quilter and brought a recent scrap quilt worthy of being seen by all. Congrats, Linda!
Jeani shared a really scrap quilt.
Another UFO but at least she is ready for the holidays!!
We were truly overwhelmed by Carolyn’s two embroidered quilts. Just imagine the hours spent but oh the joy to be completed.
