ReplyDeleteWow, what a busy and creative group. Looks like lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much to comment on! I love the shawl/scarf you made for Tiffany! Happy birthday to her! Denise's kit looks pretty interesting. I'd like to see more of that. Is a Cuba bag a tote bag? I've never heard it called that. That faux wolf pelt 😍 Love you gals' B9Ps! Everyone was SO productive! I was getting dizzy scrolling back and forth!?!
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks like a fun group. I especially love the M&M area.. that would be dangerous! I have both of those Judy Martin books.... =) I have yet to make a shakespeare's in the park quilt.. but it is on the bucket list.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you continued with more photos because I was really enjoy your group with all their fun projects. I should get my Shakespeare in the Park out and quilt it while watching you make yours. The B9P quilts are gorgeous. Congrats to all. Love your projects. ;^)
