The weekend weather included "freezing fog" |
 |
View from our workroom's window |
 |
Everyone was hard at work.... |
 |
Geke shows Pat how she "fluffs" her scarves by brushing them to bring up the nap. |
 |
Geke had her scarf inventory seriously depleted by other MCFA members.... |
 |
Linda put the borders on a "garden quilt" for her husband - She used the French Braid pattern |  |
This is for Linda's 17-year-old son - a big Beatles fan! |
 |
Lee Ann does bead and embroidery work on a new piece |
 |
Marty cuts up mens' XXL shirts she got at Goodwill or St. Vinnie's |
 |
Marty is paper-piecing... |
 |
,,,and explaining the technique to everyone |
 |
...and at the end of the day on Monday has all her blocks finished! |
 |
Diane builds the background for a new piece |
 |
. . . think, think, think . . . |
 |
This photo doesn't really do it justice... |
 |
Lois practices creative work avoidance by helping Geke with her yahoo account... |
 |
. . .but also manages to get some new squares finished... |
 |
. . .it's a commission job, using the saved garments of a family...here are blocks using pieces of a little daughter's dress... |
 |
Two more blocks from the commission work Lois is doing. |
 |
Pat is making a whole-cloth quilt while practicing to perfect her BSR technique - her primary quilting motifs are leaves. |
 |
Three days of views like this out the window wasn't too tough to take... |
 |
Our spin on "wine, women and song..." |
 |
Wendy uses her technique to build her next art quilt - her quilts are featured in the "500 Art Quilts" book she is using there for an anchor! |
 |
What does Wendy's new quilt look like? Here's a sneak peak. For the rest you'll just have to wait and see!!! |
 |
For this quilt Brenda had all her fabrics save one - but a quick run to Stitcher's Crossing saved the day! |
 |
The finished child's quilt top! |
 |
Brenda explains to Pat the new technique she is learning in order to make coiled fabric-and-rope bowls |
 |
Lois immediately seized upon a still life photo opportunity... |
 |
. . . and Brenda's second bowl doubles as a cute hat! |
 |
Food and more food! This is just the snack table. The real eating took place in the cafeteria... |
 |
Geke turns "leftovers" from her other weaving projects.... |
 |
... into beautiful little purses! |
 |
The center has beautiful courtyards and quiet serenity... |
 |
What a great way to spend a 3-day weekend!
