Last night was our Dixie Diva February Night meeting at Jan J's. Jan has an amazing home and it's always fun to go to her house and visit with the other Diva's. Usually at our night meetings we take hand work and bring the latest finished quilts for show and tell.
Jan had this Valentine Heart framed and sitting on her kitchen table.
She made this in a class with Sally Collins, which means this heart probably took all day, and she counted every thread before stitching.
Margaret brought a partially done quilt from a class she took in Cedar City. The pattern is called "Terra Cotta Tiles" by Mary Ellen Hopkins.
Margaret made this Radiant Feathered Star. She does her own machine quilting tool.
Another Show Pin Quilt made by Margaret also.
There are 81 blocks, which means it can display quite a few pins.

This is Margaret's Dixie Diva Block Exchange quilt. Look how fun hers turned out in the red, yellow and green colors.
We are going to hold all of ours up together Saturday at our guild meeting.
This is Margaret's back. I told her it looks a lot like a very nice table cloth.
Here is Margaret's focus fabric for the block exchange. We all played with these colors as we worked on her quilt.
This Valentine quilt is a 1/2 snowball where you put on two corners instead of 4. Depending on how you turn the block decides whether you get an "X" or an "O".
I love the fun Valentine fabrics that she used.
Verny brought her Spiral Lone Star from a class she took from Ricci.
Verny also brought her completed Dixie Diva Block Exchange Quilt. Look how wonderful the brights look set against the black sashings.
Your Dixie Diva group makes beautiful quilts...I always love seeing them.
