A perfect day for a picnic!!

 The weather cooperated and sent a picture perfect day for the annual picnic at Dewitt Recreation Area.  (Thanks to Lori Ivison for arranging it!)

The only downside is no stage for our show and tell, so we worked around the picnic tables.

Elaine Moodie added the eagle she painted in last month's class with Kevin Hammon to a jacket for her husband.  

                  Diane Hooper paper pieced some hearts for this sweet banner/ door quilt.
Diane also made this quilt using a collection of fat quarters.


Nancy Mitchell took a class at Jackie Lynn's and came out with this runner using a simple block.  


                                      Sue Chiddy added hexies to her apron for the quilt show....
...then made a sweet lacy one for use by members who either forget or don't have an apron during the show.  
Sue wasn't sure if her new grandchild was a boy or a girl, so she made two quilts.  This is the one that has to wait for another chance.  The baby already has his quilt.  


Ann Renica made a couple of quilts for community service.  Grey is a disappearing ninepatch.

Too late, Ann realized the elephant fabric would have been perfect for the "Under the big top" challenge.


Nancy Schrader finally has a name tag thanks to some bits and pieces she recently picked up.

Nancy finished her eagle painting, but isn't sure yet what it will be.


Martha Lorshbaugh made this for her step great granddaughter- due in November.  


The picnic was attended by a smaller group, but there was SO much delicious food!!  We've kind of decided to go back to a pot luck for the holiday party so we can enjoy our members' culinary talents again!!

Next month Mary Ann Fritz- twice cancelled- will be sharing her fiber art with us.  Please join us!
