Woolies color

Monday was our September Woolies meeting, and as usual it was very colorful and inspiring.

I'm leading off with some pincushions that we've been making to donate for sale at the Gig Harbor Quilters show next month. Pam has been collecting little containers for years, and she let us choose some as the bases for our pin cushions. Pam did the wonderful pink elephant in the top photo -- love it!

Here are some of the containers she has collected.

The next two photos are two versions of the same pattern. Carolynn changed her car into a red Volkswagon to honor the red bug that has been in and out of her husband's life for decades.

Linda's version used the car in the pattern, so you can see the difference. The red and grey wool she found for her car is perfect!

Here is Donna's fall block, in the early stages. She is designing a wool applique block for every season this year and I can't wait to see them all together.

Mary has almost completed the blocks 

for her next fabulous quilt.

She does meticulous work.

Here is the pattern: 

"Lotus Joy" by Gretchen Gibbons.

Besides the inspiration, our meetings are about stitching with friends and indulging in sweet treats, like this end of the season berry buckle made by Victoria. She said it's between a crumble and a cake. Hope you are inspired!

 Have a colorful day
