We had our quilting day last week and what a blast! It was just great to piece together. Plus fun to figure out a new pattern together. It was fascinating to see how our different personalities worked out the new pattern.
By 4:00 we had our pieces this far —
We were each making 2 identical pieces. The pattern suggests then cutting each piece into 3 sections for placemats. I plan to keep mine as 2 table runners. Here we are showing just 1 of our pieces but Sue snuck in both of hers so closely it is hard to tell. 😉
I’ll warn you it is best to NOT hold your breath for mine to be finished. LOL!! I think Lori finished hers after we moved out. I only have 4 strips to add to each of mine so it won’t take long.
Our day together was so much fun we plan to gather more this fall and just work on whatever we need to work on. I hope you have friends you can get together with for craft days. It is good for the soul!
B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. And I love the idea of sewing with friends. Problem is, I’m the only gal I know locally who quilts.
I think I’ll just do a link and “what she said” for my blog. You summed everything up wonderfully! Fun day!
LOVE the colors in yours! What a fun day! I wouldn’t cut it apart though, I like it so much the way it is.
Great job, Ladies. Call me next time…I might like to join you. (Or maybe just bring over lunch and visit 🙂
Oh my land… you’d bring lunch??????????????? Please come!! 🙂
Yay!!!!!!!! Love this!
Fun fun!!!
Come on over Louise! 🙂
I LOVE it, and I love the colors in your quilt runners!!!
Didn’t get to do the quilting at YMG – but the quilt to go to Kenya was gorgeous – and they had a lot to get done in a few short days so needed experienced quilters with their own machines…
oh and I love having friends over to craft together – I organize days monthly and they are such fun. Fish & Chips from the shop up the hill are very popular for lunches 😉
LOL – Missus Wookie on the lunch. 🙂 All of us live in the country so no nearby food places. That would be so much easier. 🙂
[…] told you about my friends & I gathering to work on our Bargello quilts back in August. I finished mine and have it all quilted so wanted […]
