Betty shows us how to makes the Scrubby and Sheelah dresses for Halloween

But first we have some One Block Wonder Encore results. Shirley shows off 2 quilts she made, one red and black and one with frogs and flowers.

Sheelah always has the cutest clothes for Halloween and this year she found bat glasses and shoes with skulls.

In case you haven't guessed this is a group of ladies that like to have fun together.

Thanks to Betty for showing us how to make a Scrubby. I've never been a crochet person myself but, I think it's something I might like to learn someday. Maybe next time it won't be with netting as the material to crochet.

Mary finished hers and this is what it should look like. Sheilah's turned out to be a bit tighter than the round disc it was supposed to be. But, since it is Halloween, she thought of another option.

Part II of the Quiet Village

The ladies started the day in our usual way, chit chatting and catching up on our lives. Ruth and myself are the only ones working on the project today, which is great-private lessons!

Mary and Betty taught our group the 2nd border for the pattern in the Mccall's Quilting Magazine's Quiet Village.

Mary's border represents the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. It is made from batik's and has hand sewn stars or tiles, like a Cathedral window block.

Betty has chosen a fabric more closely shown in the magazine. She used a stripe turned different directions. Both quilts are fabulous.

They also gave us a peak into the final border that will be appliqued.

One Block Wonder Encore

We had part II of the class for the One Block Wonder Encore quilt. The ladies are finding it pretty challenging. But, the results are worth the effort.

Classes like this are wonderful examples of getting a finished quilt with lots of advice and help. We are planning on bringing the finished quilt to the Christmas party at Sheelah's house for Show and Tell.

Next Tuesday we are having another class for the Quiet Village. This pattern is from the Mccalls Quilting magazine, which requires you to purchase 3 magazines to get the full pattern.
