Thimbleberries – Delayed Fun at Quilter’s Corner in Midlothian, Virginia – March 2009

Posted By drsao on March 17, 2009

The regularly scheduled Thimbleberries Club meeting was pre-empted by the great Midlothian, Virginia SNOW OF March, 2009. It is called a BONUS…..SNOW FUN AND THIMBLEBERRIES FUN! I missed the snow – I flew to California just HOURS before it started to snow, but I made it home in time for the THUMBLELINA CLUB (my daughter’s pet name for us!)

Susan announced that a new BIRTH OF A SAMPLER Class is starting soon – it is a 9-month class taught by Sherry Whitford. I LOVED this class and learned SO MUCH. I recommend it! You can call Quilter’s Corner to reserve your place in the class. Here is Susan’s BIRTH OF A SAMPLER….I love her fabrics.

I made one too! There are many choices at each round – so everyone’s quilt looks a little bit different. By the way, Susan chose my fabrics too. She is good, isn’t she?!

I loved the show and tell this month – WE HAD LOTS TOO……I think those Thimbleberrie Bucks are a GOOD THING!

Carolyn did a great and inspiring demo on how to make a SPLIT-NINE-PATCH quilt. And we ALL KNOW that that is exactly what a quilt enthusiast loves is MORE INSPIRATION. 🙂 This looks like a lot of fun – I can’t wait to make one!

Not only was the meeting a lot of fun but the desserts were great too – I especially loved the whipped cream on the strawberries. YUM!

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
