This is one of my designs,
The Pursuit of Scrappiness,
that someone did in reds,
whites and greens.


Another Pursuit of Scrappiness,
 this one in purples, creams and

people's interpretations of
my designs!

Evening Star Quilt Guild ~ January 2011

An Evening at the Evening Star


Last night was the Evening Star Quilt Guild
meeting in Anderson, Indiana.

Here is a sampling of some of the work of
our talented members.
























I showed my civil war blocks but they
have already been posted on the blog.

Evening Star

Evening Quilt Guild


Tonight was the evening quilt guild Holiday Pitch-In.  I have heard Indiana described as one giant pitch-in and from the selection of treats tonight, one can see these quilters have had a lot of experience when it comes to pitch-ins.
I brought the mini red velvet cupcakes that are on the pedestal
all the way in the back of the photo.


The beautiful centerpieces were made by Dawn, owner of
The Quilt Shoppe in Anderson, Indiana.


Many people participated in the ornament exchange.



This was the ornament I made,  I made it when I was in Europe with my friend Olivia.

Then we had Show & Tell.






As we were leaving the snow was beginning to fall,  could tomorrow be a snow day?
