A Day With Friends

A super hot day!  cool inside though with friends who are sharing their
talents--we haven't met much lately and this day was our
last gathering till Sept--oh, there will be planned
retreats for some--lots of travel for others--then the
stories to share of our adventures when we gather again!
Super bright!  Love this top!  I'm partial to Orange, of course!
Linda created this bargello top in a workshop/class--

Smashing colors and quilting!

Linda's quilt of warmth for her granddaughter,
who loves to dance!

Judy is working on this pattern, very well aged by 10 years!
Once she saw this, she knew she had to make this quilt for
her dining room!
It is such an astounding work!  So impressed by the ability to
figure this out--Judy is taking it step at a time--
The pattern is from Buggy Barn, which sadly is no longer in
business--and this pattern is out of print. 

Each piece is hand appliqued with care and precision


This is how Judy is finishing up the piece to applique

She is using this product called 'whisperlite'--it is
certainly sheer and adds no weight to the piece like some
other stabilizers

Judy has finished the Christmas gnome top from
Fatcat Patterns--it was 2018 block of the month

Some of the blocks set your teeth on edge but she
handled the placement and stitching of this block perfectly

Here is her stitching on the Joy block

Sandy is tackling this awesome quilt pattern by
Bonnie Vanqool for Windham Fabrics

She has many grey fabrics--now, just needs to choose
her brights--this pattern is made with all half square
triangles

Annette has been working on her Grandmother's flower
garden quilt for many moons--it's all paper pieced--
she is sewing the top together by add each square

Several of the gals are working on 2019 block of the month
from Pat Sloan's Out of this World--Linda has chosen
red, white and blue fabrics for her theme.  
Judy's is on the display wall as he adds her blocks--
she has chosen sheep as her focal point.
Sorry to say, these gals put me to shame!
I've not got a focus fabric or any thought as
what to do with these blocks--
maybe, I'll dig through my stash to see what I
can use.
A good day spent with friends sewing is better than any
other day!

Beginnings of New Year Ideas

I'm already thinking about the new year and new beginnings--2024 was a lost year as far as new quilt starts--there was not a one began. ...
