Sew fun....

Girls.....such a nice time sewing yesterday! Thanks to Cathy for her wonderful hospitality! So sorry I forgot my camera. Cathy had a few finished quilts for show & tell. She finished the ones from the last bee - the red, white and blue string quilt, both of the cute baby quilts and she had two more baby quilts completed - with tumblers. So productive! Cathy was working on a neat variation of pinwheel type blocks....lots of pinning but it'll go quickly with chain piecing. Lois had her little crab quilt all finished. Nicely done! Lois was working on some pretty basket blocks - hand stitching the handles. She had her pictures from Florida and some of the latest of the two cuties in Seattle. Donovan is a baseball player and Ainsley is a ballerina! Lori was working on the sailboat blocks for John - it's his Father's Day IOU. I finished two t-shirt quilts for Kelly for graduation last Friday. Yesterday I did June's sunshine block of the month block - and finally put together the Bunny Hill BOM blocks from three? years ago.....oy! Time flies. Mare stopped by for a bit. She's heading to Germany on Sunday to visit Jimmy - and Paris and Rome! Maureen also popped in on her way home at lunchtime. She's glad to be finished all the graduation parties/festivities for Chris and his friends.  We missed those who weren't there. Hope everyone is well. Put this date on your calendars, ladies......Thursday, July 5th - desserts at Applebee's around 8:30 PM or so. We're heading out tomorrow to Florida - Mickey, sunshine, Harry Potter and boat drinks - not necessarily in the order!!! Take care......see y'all soon. Piece!

Cathy and Lori both made the little crab wallhanging....

This is Cathy's quilt for Devyn...

Cathy made this baby quilt from scraps...

And another one....

This is awesome - Lois made these pillowcases for her alma mater - Alderson-Broaddus College - where she and George met....

This is a matching quilt/wallhanging - they are terrific. She is donating them to a crafts auction the college holds on homecoming weekend. It will benefit the scholarship that she and George started. How cool....

I made this baby quilt for someone to give as a gift....

I made this t-shirt quilt for someone who graduated from St. Joe's...

Heading into Memorial Day weekend already....crazy how fast this year is moving along. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Piece.....

PS - I forgot to ask Cathy if she had heard back from anyone about the sewing day. I haven't heard and forgot to ask tonight. Please email one of us - or comment with your preference. Thanks.....

Sewing Day? Bee?

Hey, ladies.....beautiful day out there! Hope you have a chance to get out there and enjoy it. Cathy is taking some vacation days and has offered to host a sewing day. She's asking what day works for most folks between June 15th and June 20th? You could respond here - or if you have difficulty commenting, you can email one of us, that would be great! Sunday, the 17th is Father's Day. I can do it on Saturday, the 16th or Monday the 18th. We're leaving for vacation on Wednesday, the 20th.....hope we can work this out. Also - I can host a bee next Wednesday - May 23rd.....it's been far too long. Please bring some show&tell. Piece.....

Just wanted to take a little 'island break' Hang loose...

Happy Mother's Day...

Wishing all the mamas a wonderful Mother's Day.......accept the well-deserved thanks for all that you do all year for others. Peace!

A day of rest....

Hey...hope y'all are enjoying a nice weekend. Food for thought. Gracie's maintenance light came on last week. So she headed to Hayes for a tune-up. She now has over 17 million stitches and 13,000 hours of sewing on her. And she looks fabulous!!! May we all live that long and be so productive. Peace.....and have a nice week!
