Well, we moved away and the friends stopped sewing together... until recently. Several of us decided that our weekly group should meet up once a month to sew. It felt good to be together, again! This month, we made a point to invite another old friend. It was just like old times.
Here is how the day went...
A lesson learned:
Vines and Lines (or something like that) class:
Paper pieced pets:
The beginning of the Shop Hop Quilt:
The reason they went on the Shop Hop:
Fundraiser Baby Sets:
Friends together again:

Tif prepares pieces for a new pup:
Lisa pieces a new quilt:
Joy finished the base of another basket...
... Or TWO:
The new pup is taking shape:
Small bits add up:
Pup-building continues:
Background is auditioned:
Let's see more of that:

Only a few pieces remain before sewing can commence:

Old friends got a chance to visit. Productivity reigned. What a wonderful day!!
Until next time...
Make time for friends!!!
Sounds like a wonderful day. Our group used to have a day for Procrastinators Anonymous. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a lovely day! How wonderful that you're able to get everyone together again.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I hope you all continue to meet every month. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteYour group gets a lot done! I wish I was in a group like that. It sounds like you had a good time too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfectly lovely day!
ReplyDeleteQuilty friends are awesome, and spending that kind of time together is the best. Looks like every one of you got a lot done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun gathering and lots of work was accomplished! I think we need to do something similar to this with our group of friends. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThese kind of groups are so necessary. And not just for quilting. I've been a member of a group that started as a babysitting co-op. When all the kids were grown - we became the Co-Madres - mothers helping and supporting each other. Now we're the Nasturtium Society. We still meet once a month to catch up, support and chat. Glad yours got back together. You made a lot of wonderful things!
ReplyDeletePS - this is our 40th year.
ReplyDeleteYour group looks like so much fun! I need to find an "in person" group - I tend to rely way too much on cyber-groups. Love your scrappy basket. :)
