Friday Afternoon

A tumbling block finished by Elsie - it's going to be sold at the MCC Auction next year.

Another that (I think) is headed for MCC, put together by Kath and Kathy.  Hand quilted by Dora.

Kath's Jelly Roll Race

Kathy's gorgeous pinwheels.  Her piecing is so precise.

MCC Auction 2013

This evening Dora, Kathy and I measured, bagged and tagged the eight quilts that we are donating to the Coaldale MCC Auction that's coming up the first weekend in June.  I'm super excited to go to the auction!

A lady from MCC Calgary who happens to be in the area is going to pick up the quilts from my house on Monday.  For whatever reason, the quilts need to be appraised in Calgary before coming back down to the sale.

 

I'm really excited to be putting one of my own quilts in the sale this year:

Finished Quilts

This past Saturday LBCQ had a quilting bee at the church.  For family reasons, I couldn't be there, but I stopped by Dora's yesterday and she showed me what was finished.

The first quilt is one of my "apple box" quilts, so named because I received three apple boxes full of fabric that I'm going to use to create quilts to be used for God's work.

The second quilt is one that Susan put together using fabrics that a local store called Hollands donated to us.  They very generously gave us a lot of fabric, much of which will be used as backs.

This quilt was made using fabric that Dora "snitched" from MCC so, of course, it is going back to MCC to be sold.  The apple box quilt will be sold at MCC as well.

Today at Dora's

There were a lot of show-and-tells at Dora's today.  Here is a quilt that Laura put together using a donated pieced top from one source and borders from another.  They look made for each other!  This quilt will be available to bid on at the 2013 Coaldale MCC Auction.

Dora's coasters

Laura and Elsie are making this for a wedding gift - it is king size and done entirely of plaid patterns.

Some of the things on Kath's to-do list:

Yo-yo vest #1

and

Dora's quilt made from the 100 charm pack that we all received a few years ago.

Another "Apple Box" Quilt.

Susan, Tena, Judy and Norma were missing.  Katherine was going to come by in the afternoon after I left.  Please pray for Norma as she broke her arm and is going into surgery today.
