Yesterday our small group, Seams like Sisters, had an all day sewing party. Here are a few pictures to show you what some of my sewing pals are working on.....
Sandy was our hostess. We always have so much fun at her house. She is making quilts for her three grandchildren for Christmas. Here's a finished Star Wars top for her grandson. Isn't it cool?
Diann is our resident longarmer (every small group needs one!). She was on a roll yesterday. A completed baby quilt top for her niece....
Two adorable fall pumpkin panels turned into quilts for her little neighbor girls (so clever how she turned panels into darling quilts! The other one is mirror image of this one).
And after an emergency run to Hobby Lobby for some polka dots, two cute Christmas panels turned into cute quilt tops too. (the red one will get one more, polka dotty border). Way to go Diann! You win the prize for most projects finished in a day.
Joellen is our hand appliqué expert. I wish I had a better picture of the quilt blocks she's been working on. So beautiful!Carol is the queen of bindings. Finally, she was binding a blooming nine patch quilt that she made for herself a long time ago. Why do we always put ourselves last on the list?
I didn't get pictures of Ellen W (who was whipping out baby quilt tops left and right yesterday! She almost caught Diann, but not quite) and Alice (who worked on several projects including binding up a cute mini quilt with a kitty on it.)
Oh, you want to know what I worked on? ONE THING! I arrived at 9AM with a box full of nine patch swap blocks, all made with different Kaffe fabrics and I stitched the final seam in this quilt top just after 7PM.
I promise to get a better picture of it for you this week. I was so proud to get it all together! It's way bigger than I expected it to be (and I did the math. I have a degree in accounting people! You'd think I could figure these things out).
Hope you had a productive weekend as well.... if you had half as much fun as I did you're doing really well!
