Pinnacle Quilters of San Benito County

The Pinnacle Quilters and I had a fun afternoon designing unique jackets.

Look closely at this beautiful seascape fabric.  YUMMM!



Above, cranes are floating across another design.


        Check out the Diva's in the center....that fabric looks really familiar!

Although we worked hard, we had a ball.  During class the room looked as if a fabric bomb had exploded!

The Ladies of the Lake

The Ladies of the Lake are a fun group of women located in Northern (and I mean northern) California.   From the hills, you can see all the way across Clearlake.


 

Georgia, Lurette and Karen were working very hard are their one-of-a-kind vest.
 

The photos that follow of Betsy, Brenda, Linda and Ellen gives you a hint at the diversity of 

fabric we played with on Sunday. (Batiks, Lurel Birch, Valori Wells and more)

If you want an up close and personal peek at Ellen's fabric, click on her photo to enlarge the image.

And we did take a break for lunch....Diva's must keep up their energy!

If you look at the table above, you might see some of Kerry's kitties!

Jane and Kitty are still smiling, and this was after lunch!

The Christmas Diva's (Bev and Diana) had fabric flying all over that back corner, while Marian models her "boyfriend" for Kerry.


Sharon and Jo are carefully placing their accent pieces on the background fabric.

A great time was had by all!

My parting view from Lakeport....A great place to hang out for a weekend or longer.
