Show-N-Tell At The Wee Bee (Oct-Nov)

 

It is show-n-tell at the Wee Bee Quilters meeting and what lovely creations has the girls been up to lately, well it is Ellie the Elephant.  Everyone wants a Ellie for their very own.

Here is Emma Mixon

Here is Linda Saunders

and Loretta Tatum

I am sure that more Ellie’s will be popping up in 2015.

Presentation:  Patricia King presented a Signature Quilt to Carolyn Burgess at our November meeting with these words:

To: Carolyn, a friend and fellow quilter, we love and cherish the  time we spend together.  I could not  think of no better tribute to make to you, than  to use your own words.

“Often we don’t say things because we always think we have time to say them.  Then after that someone is gone we think specifically about that person and think of so many things we could have, should have or would have said.  We’re going to say them now while we’re all here and can benefit from the words.”

Carolyn was so surprised she did not even no we were even presenting the quilt to her.

Gwen showed off her granddaughters bed roll for school.

Loretta finished her Black History quilt.  Love the backing fabric on this one.

Charlene Marshall showed of two color variations of the Reflection quilt she is working on for a friend at the center were she teaches quilting.  The first one is for a girl and the other a boy.  Great color choses.   

Not sure who’s quilt this is might be Pat Johnson

Linda McKenzie              Gwen Jackson

These are quilts from the October meeting, do not know who is hiding behind them.

That is all for now. 

Reminder:  That some of use will be meeting in December on our regular day and time.

Family Day 2014–Quilts In The Gym

Because of the off and on rain last Saturday, we had to improvise by hanging the quilts in the Gym of North Michigan Park Recreation Center for this years Family Day.  Although it was a challenge, the Wee Bee Quilters won this challenge of hanging quilts the best way we could.
As you can see below we had them even hanging off the bleachers.

Here are the 10th Anniversary Quilts

I was so busy working the small grill outside, that I did not get as many pictures as I would have liked with all the girls in the gym.  We had a surprise visit from our long lost sister Nadine Mills (did not get a picture of her).  She here for a month or two, we miss Debbra Murphy who is back in California.
I got a surprise from my father.

When I told him some of is McDonald friends were at the Family Day is showed up.  It was nice seeing him there.  He lives right down the street from me and see him every Sunday, but I really have not hung out with my dad in sometime.  Great to see him coming out.

If any of you Wee Bee Quilts out there have any inside photos of Family Day, please post them on our site. 
See you next month.
