Wonderful Wednesday - Friday Night Sew-In

Welcome to the next edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  This week, I'm here to share a new adventure in quilting.

The Backstory...

While at Quilt Guild a couple of Mondays ago, one of the members of my Monthly Evening Bee invited me to join her Friday Night Sew-In group.  Knowing that my DH is anxious for me to work on our niece's wedding quilt, I checked with him to see if he had other plans for the weekend.  He was thrilled that I had found a platform for progress on the somewhat tardy quilt.

The Event...

Linda brought her Farm Girl Vintage quilt to bind:

Ella brought Halloween squares to sew:

As Linda began binding...

... I was busy cutting:

Sara(h?) worked on seaming a baby sweater:

Kathy brought her collection of Ginkgo leaf  prints to choose fabrics for a Scrappy Strip Tuffet:

Patty shared her new Barn Quilt:

I believe this is Karoline's wonderful strippy tote bag:

The church's quilt group won a ribbon at the DOQ Quilt Show with this lovely quilt, displayed in the fellowship hall:

To the best of my knowledge, this selection made the final cut for the tuffet:

Karoline will be working on this square version:

Kathy will be working in the round:

They will both start with a muslin base for added sturdiness:

Dale is working on a cozy new scarf:

We pulled this out of Ella's project box.  She isn't fond of working with solids:

With the binding applied to this quilt...

... Linda moved on to another:

Congrats! to Sara(h?) on completing the seaming on this little sweater:

These are Karoline's tuffet fabrics:

Ann spent the evening attempting to familiarize herself with paper-piecing:

Patty had a question about this Jenny Doan quilt in progress:

The Outcome...

The evening was a HUGE success!  Approximately 16 yards of sheerweight fusible stabilizer later:

The entire set of shirts, including the 9 sleeve caps that made their way into the design, have all had their corresponding stabilizer cut.  They are ready to meet the new iron that I recently purchased.

A little heat, a little steam, and a WHOLE LOT of time later, I'll be ready to cut them down to size.

T-Shirt quilts are a HUGE commitment, but they are SEW worth the time invested.  Thank you again, Ann, for inviting me to join in the Friday Night FUN!!  I was pleased to make such good progress in just one evening.

Until next time...
Gather!!!
