Manic Wednesday


Some of the Wednesday girls got their Linus heads on this evening and worked like Trojans to piece some quilt tops

Beverley used some nautical fabrics
Seaside theme

Ann used a novelty feature fabric
Polar bear medallion

Carol had a finished quilted made up of scraps

from Carol's scraps

Eileen added borders to an appliquéd top

Here is a really jazzy block!
Liz stitched the binding on her stripy quilt

simple but effective!

Jackie cut a panel up and added strips to make this little lovely


And here is another of Jackie's quilts, not quite finished, but looking good.

Not for Linus, this already has been promised a home


And Maggie was messing about with some of these

And when you add some of this ...



You will end with some blocks like this...


Meanwhile, Ena and Lesley were on a production line (NOT piecework mind - they would never make a living!)

one sewing strips and the other sniping and pairing
which concluded with one of these..

1600 style

These were the strips that were too short for the 2 1/2" x 16 1/2" strips that we used for the Scrappy Trip Around quilts.

Ena has never worked so hard! She just had enough strength to take a bow. (That girl does love the glory!!!)

Lots of finished and nearly finished quilts for a very good cause. We will contact Joan shortly to come and collect and distribute them all. 

If you have a Linus quilt at home, please get it back to groups as soon as you can.
