Weekly Round-Up

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I am certainly thankful for our wonderful group of artists!

Emily has been crocheting up a storm... 

and making these adorable pouches!

Debbie has made a baby-sized version of her "A New View" quilt...

Natalie made this gorgeous table-runner for her sister's Thanksgiving table...

Becky knitted these super fun "socks of many colors":

Lynn has some stunning knitting in the works:

and received more stars for her quilt!

I made this funny little reindeer pillow for a friend...

Kathy has made several beautiful blocks for various bee recipients.  Definitely click through to see them all!  They are really gorgeous.

And she is plugging away on her trees - and maybe feeling a little discouraged.  Keep at it, Kathy!   They look amazing.

There is a meeting on Wednesday at 6:30pm at Maker Works.  Hope to see you there!

Lynn on Generation Q!

Congratulations to our dear Lynn whose Mustard Melody quilt was featured as the Quilt of the Week for Generation Q!

Woops - Don't forget Lynn!

I forgot Lynn in our Weekly Round-Up!  D'Oh! Can I blame lack of sleep? No? How about general delinquency?

Please be sure to check out her Mustard Melody quilt.  It's stunning!

She's got another awesome looking quilt in the works.  Will she use a bold pattern for the sashing?  I can't wait to find out!

AND she's cooking up some adorable applique blocks! 

Sorry I forgot you, Lynn!  It's completely ridiculous considering the unforgettable nature of your work!

Jumbo Weekly Round-Up!

Hello everyone!  As promised, here is out extra-large Weekly Round-Up covering the crafts produced by our wonderful guild members throughout the past two weeks...

Kathy has started a project featuring wonky trees and maybe a couple of wonky houses.  It looks amazing so far!

Also - did you know 11-11-11 was corduroy appreciation day?  Get it? Because 11-11 kind of looks like the wales on corduroy?  Anyway, Kathy celebrated by making this stunner out of the fabric-of-the-day!  I never considered corduroy for quilting before, but this is truly inspiring.

Ronit made a freakin' gorgeous Fall Scarf that I will steal at my first opportunity.

Anna is working on hand quilting her gorgeous double wedding ring quilt!  ACK can't wait to see.

I finished my Halloween quilt (right on time!):

And I made a Swoon pillow case for a little lady's bedroom:

Debbie is being quite sneaky, posting this collage preview of several super-secret projects she has in the works!

Natalie wrote a VERY interesting blog post linking to the "Threads of Feeling" exhibit at the London Foundling Hospital.  If you like history or ever feel sentimental about fabric, READ IT.

And let's all take a moment to wish "Safe travels!" to Paloma as she moves with her family to Argentina. We will miss you in Ann Arbor! 

Jumbo Weekly Round-Up on Friday

Hey gang!  My sincere apologies for the lack of Weekly Round-Up this past weekend.  On Friday I will post a jumbo Weekly-Round-Up that will cover this week and last.

Wishing you all the best!

Emily's new baby is going to be one lucky little girl.  Check out these lux baby blankets...

This gorgeous quilt...

Debbie is working on a project made from pre-cut fabrics... can't wait to see how it turns out!

Lynn has quilted her Paganelli blanket.  Looks good!

Paloma is working on some very awesome looking blocks.  Love them!

And she made these super cute Halloween pot-holders...

You also have to read about Paloma's trip to the International Quilt Market!   It sounds like it was an amazing time and I'm so jealous!

Kathy shows two beautiful Storm-at-Sea quilts on her blog (one of my favorite patterns)...

and she also has two new and stunning small-studies:

I made this fun little handiwork...

and Ronit has a very tantalizing sneak-peak of a quilt project.  Looking forward to seeing the whole, beautiful blanket!
