Here are a few projects Mad did for an owl swap she was in. To see some of her other March projects, check her blog.

Month of March

The month was a busy one for all the Jersey Girls.

Gail and Katie both had birthdays.

There were three quilt shows. Gail, Mad, Cat, Patti and Lois went to Quilt Fest in Somerset, NJ.

Gail and Mad went to the American Quilter's Society Quilt Show in Lancaster. PA.

While there they stopped at these Amish Shops.

Cat, Mad, Patti and Lois went to a small quilt show at the Wheaton Arts Center in Millville, NJ.

February Sewing Day

The Jersey Girls finally set a sewing day, Saturday, February 4. But unfortunately Gail and Patti were both sick and unable to make it. So Cat and Mad got together, ate pasta salad and brownies and sewed.

Cat finished this quilt for her sister in law that she had been working on for awhile. This was a quilt that her sister in law had made years ago but it didn't come out quite right. Cat decided to take it and hook it up. What she did was cut out the blocks and made a new quilt. She did a fantastic job. This picture does not do this quilt justice.

Cat also made a quick Quilt Smart Smart Bag with some fun fat quarters.

Mad made another Quilt Smart Mondo Bag. She really likes this bag and it is the 4th one she made. She used a jelly roll of batiks for this bag which will be a gift for someone.

The Pemberton Quilt

Gail made this quilt for her granddaughter who is in high school. She used the school colors to make the quilt and embroidered the school mascot on one of the blocks.

Some Projects

The quilting pals have been busy over the holidays and things have started to settle down somewhat. Here are some of the projects that they completed.

The pals will be getting together soon for a sewing day, so be on the watch out for some more finished projects.

Block of the Month Quilts

This is an old, old project. A few years ago, all the Jersey Girls signed up for the Block of the Month Program at the now closed Past Times Quilt Shop. We just were not able to get pics of them all together until now. Gail's and Kat's quilts are done. Mad, Cat and Patti have their tops done.
