It's beginning to look a lot like...Coconut Chips!

 


Barb embellished a rope bowl with machine embroidery.


She also showed us a small basket that Kathy gave her. The basket is made by clipping the corners of a fabric coaster or mug rug. Now you have yourself a little dish that can hold all sorts of little bits and pieces beside your sewing machine. That Barb, always first with the gadgets!


I've had this red doggie fabric for ages, years probably. So cute but I needed a project to finish up the last bits. I hope some child will enjoy this charity quilt for a long time. 


Diane wants to learn more about the birds of Maine so she made this great quilt. Can you identify any of them? I see a bluejay, a chickadee, and a cardinal. Nice job!


Betsy made this bright and lively quilt-just like her!



Donna stitched up this wintry applique design from Bunny Hill called Snow Birds. Do we have a bird theme today? 


Betsy bought this panel quilt when she was on vacation in Arizona. She was asking for quilting advice. Any suggestions?



"Coconut Chips" from Madison Cottage Designs strikes again! Donna M introduced us to this pattern and it has been a hit! We've seen many variations including this one from Leanne. Love the splashes of red.


Leanne loves paper piecing. She made these 3 inch designs from Carol Doak using EQ8. She made the cardinal as a card and others as ornaments. 



Brenda worked with a friend's blocks to make this donation quilt. Looks like yummy raspberries and blackberries to me!



Did you recognize this pattern? Jean made her own version of Bonnie Hunter's "Rhododendron Trail". Fantastic, Jean!




uh oh, there it is again...Coconut Chips! Donna is sending this bright and beautiful quilt to England. 


Donna is also sending these adorable bibs to England. The patter is "Bandana Bibs" by Yesterday Charm. 


Okay, birds are not the theme for the day, Coconut Chips are! Here is Kat's bright and bold version in purple and orange. 


After a friend passed away, Kat was able to make this quilt  from the friend's materials. She used some strip sets and other bits and pieces as the inspiration and came up with this quilt in memory of her. 



Who doesn't love some pretty little ornaments? Kat made these paper pieced ones. So sweet!

That's it for Show and Tell in 2023! Our Christmas party is next and then we turn the page for the New Year 2024! 

Keep on stitching and smiling!
