Quilt Club Tonight

I thought I would do a quick post about my quilt group tonight. We are celebrating Abe Lincoln's 200th birthday. Each of the ladies has been asked to bring show-n-tell that consists of a wall-hanging, quilt, pin cushion, hot pad, etc. made with replica civil war fabric or log cabin blocks. I am so excited!! I will try to remember to take photos...

Here is the back of the van--loaded and ready to go. See the wooden pennies flowers in the front of the photo. I am sharing the pattern that I made. I thought something with pennies would be appropriate since Abe is on the penny...good 'ol honest Abe. There's also decorations and give-aways!!
Here is one of my civil-war replica fabric wall-hangings.

Here is part of another(I am not a very good photographer). I have a quilt, too. I will post that photo with the other ones from tonight. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that all goes well for this one. It's stressful for me to be the one in charge---I know I will survive though. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Be Nice to People,
Julie
