SEPT. PTA GATHERING

Our Sept. PTA meeting was held at my house on Thursday.....each car load that drove up questioned whether our house has moved?  No one remembers just how far out of Asheville I live!  But they all made the trip and we had a great day.

Show and tell will be abbreviated here because a number of pieces shared will be in the upcoming Asheville Quilt show (see side bar for details) so I'll keep the maker's work private for now.
 That certainly doesn't mean there wasn't amazing things to share.  Lynne has been VERY busy dyeing......  She had a huge stack of fractured 1/2 yard pieces for us to drool over.
 Judy Simmons shared some of the samples she's creating for a new workshop she'll be offering at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival.  We are all looking forward to this event in Feb. 2013, because Judy, Linda Cantrell and I are all teaching...this should be big fun!!  We hope some of you will join our classes.
Georgia Bonesteel was being the ambitious one......we mostly eat, chat, eat, chat....rarey do any of us work on something....guess we don't have a very good attention span.
Our jack (I mean Jill) of all trades, Gen....who is accomplished at any sewing task.....shared this new piece with us.....  Awesome!
Barbara, another ambitious PTA member.......is an excellent knitter......I'm pretty sure this sock was hers.....or else it was our Queen of everything...Gen's.  Sorry girls.... being the hostess...I wasn't able to keep up with everything!
But, I do know Barbara was cranking these glass cozies out......
Georgia made this quilt as a wedding gift......signatures of guests and family members were on the back......

A fun day was had by all......

BTW -  PACKERS BEAT THE BEARS....PACKERS BEAT THE BEARS....yup, I am gloating.....
