Night Divas donation to Flower Pot Raffle

The quilt bee that I belong to, "Night Divas", finished our donation basket this weekend.  It will be part of the Flower Pot Raffle at the West Houston Quilters Guild Show in April.

All of the items had to be secured in the picnic basket, so We took a picture of the contents to display at the show.

A large Picnic Basket, 4 Family Aprons,  Chef Hat for Dad,  Tablerunner, 6 Placemats, 6 Napkins, 4 Potholders and two Outdoor/Grilling books.  Not bad for a bee with three members.

The picture below is everything in the basket, with shrink wrapping, for transporting and displaying.

If you live in or near the Katy, TX area, come to our show on April 8th and 9th.  It will be at the Leonard E. Merrell Center, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy, TX, 77494.  It will be hosted by the West Houston Quilters Guild.  Our website is www.whqg.org. and our theme is "In A Quilter's Garden".  Hope to see you there.

A Productive Week

I finished the Six Placemats and Tablerunner for the "Flower Pot Raffle" entry by my Bee.  Yeah, now I can breathe.

Yesterday, I hot glued all the flowers on my Flower Pot Competition Entry.  They will be judges on Wednesday night at our Guild Meeting.  I only have one war wound.  It has been a while since I have used the glue gun.  I forgot to put a bowl of water and ice beside me.  After the first blister, I remembered.

This is where the tickets will be inserted during the show.  

At the end of the show, the pot will be turned over and a winner will be drawn from each pot.  The pot has to look good, upside down and right side up.  I glued a Wildflower fabric on the top of the pot, because it has to fit into the saucer.  The thick flowers would have caused a problem.

Thank you and a BIG HUG to all the ladies that posted fabric flower tutorials on their blogs.  I looked at a lot of them and used parts of several and yo-yo flowers to fill in any empty spaces.  The leaves on the saucer and top are two pieces of fabric, steam-a-seamed together and cut out.  Then I sewed a vein down the middle.
