Thursday was our Pieceful Hearts Quilt Guild's day group Bee. The N.Augusta, SC quilt is finally finished. It is a pictorial quilt featuring pictures of families, buildings, etc. over the last century.

Pat & Angie (on the left) and Elaine, Betty & Carolyn (on the right). 
Angie is always smiling and laughing. She and Jolene are my Hickory Knob Quilt Retreat roommates in January. 
Rachael who will always smile when I drag the camera out. 
Pat was teaching a group how to make the fabric thread catchers for their sewing machines. I bought one she had made at our last quilt show.
Carolyn, Rachael, BettyAnn & I headed to Augusta, GA for lunch after bee. On our way there, we passed a lovely home with the coolest yard art out front and we stopped to get a picture. I just love the horse and rider (and whatever it is that he has slung over the back).
We ate at the Blue Sky Kitchen on Broad Street in Augusta, GA. The food was good but it was warm even in the restaurant.
Tonight the Wonderful Women Who Quilt, our Tuesday night bee group, met at Ille's (who we have decided is the hostess with the mostess) for a birthday dinner for three of our quilt friends, Rachel, Margaret and Betsy, whose birthdays were today, yesterday and tomorrow. It was a lot of fun with great food and great stories of quilting adventures and misadventures!! The surprise for Rachel was the quilt that we all supplied our hands for and Margaret Hunt pieced and appliqued and Bonnie Hunter quilted. I didn't get the picture of the backing which is full of hoochie mamas in bathing suits that received plenty of laughs and giggles. We ate till completely stuffed of shrimp cocktail, cheese & crackers, chips and a wonderful dip, lasagna, salads & the most delightful lime and spices dressing that Paula B. made, pistachio salad/dessert that was completely devoured, scrumptuous parmesan bread that Rachael T. made, rolls, pecan tassies, a divine chocolate cake and yummilicious tiramisu cake!! 
The evening came and went by so quickly for us but not for Ille's hubby who patiently occupied himself elsewhere while we had our girlyfest. What a great guy! This is Rachel's happy self with her new quilt. Here is a close-up of the quilt.
Since Margaret introduced me to the quilted postcard, I gave her this one for her birthday.
This is my block for Siobhan for serving as guild president 2004-2005. I had heard she likes Mary Engelbreit and just so happened I had some fabric left over from a quilt I made for my friend Denise last Christmas. The pattern came from tracing around one of my favorite mugs and appliqueing it to the background fabric. Darker fabric swirls are appliqued for steam and then I mixed up some coffeeish looking beads and used them to make more steam. I hope she enjoys the block... was going to decorate more but was reminded she'll need room to quilt around so I guess I'm done.....
isn't it cute??
Margaret brought carrot cake and a chocolate cheesecake...both were divine!!
Our monthly meeting for the night group of the Pieceful Heart Quilters in N.Augusta, SC was October 2nd....our theme was dessert night and putting up our feet before the holidays....we were supposed to embellish slippers for the occasion....i was out of town but did my best to buy ready made slippers of the unusual kind that would hopefully fit in with the wonderfully embellished slippers of my quilting cohorts....
