Gail’s owls look wonderful with that striped sashing and binding.

Cath’s sailing boats look positively summery, and she’s even quilted it on her longarm machine with a sailing boat pattern.

But the brightest spot of the day was in fact …ahem…Spot the dog! I think Gillian must have had fun making these.

Finally I must show you the exquisite framed cross-stitch Susan brought in for “show and tell” today. As well as meticulously working the counted cross-stitch she has made those flowers on the hat from silk ribbons. And yes, those are tiny beads, several dozen of them adding dimension and depth to this etherial picture. Clever Susan!

  3. Such charming quilts! Your quilters have again outdone themselves with designs and effort. Love Di B.'s Line Dance quilt. Thanks for the link! The CCS piece is beautiful. Susan spent a LOT of time on that one; the framing suits it perfectly.
