Wonderful Wednesday - Sew/Craft Friends-zy

Welcome to the next edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  I'm here to report about the of the recent Sew/Craft Friends-zy with my Raleigh friends.  It's a LONG day, but oh SEW productive!

I found that I need fuel on the way there.  This is what I found:

Fuel prices were BELOW $2.00 per gallon for the first time in (what feels like) FOREVER!!  I was a VERY happy customer.  :o))

Here's what I found upon arrival...

Tiffany has started a NEW quilt!  A Hunter's Star variation from Missouri Star Quilt Company:

Oh, WAIT!  Make that TWO quilts begun.  This basket is filled with squares cut for a Scrap Jar Star quilt:

Carol had her table all set up to work on Snails Trail blocks, as part of another quilt that I can't seem to recall the name:

Tiffany found jacket parts in her recent studio reorganization:

Here's a shot of the back of her newly completed quilted jacket:

Down at the crafting end of the hallway...

Rock painting for Kindness ROCKS Garner was in full swing:

Paints were provided for anyone who wanted to try:

Inspiration was also provided:

Painting a chair for a The Green Chair fundraising project:

The scrapbookers were also represented:

Someone even brought a selection of Biscuitville biscuits to share:

Joy got an enthusiastic response to this (difficult to photograph) fabric pull for her upcoming quilt, Shakespeare in the Park:

Carol's pattern came from Quilter's Cache, an amazing resource:

Carol works with a variety of materials and enjoys adding meaning to her quilts with repurposed clothing items:

Denise brought panels (sewn at home) for a new bag:

She got a patchwork Swatch watch for Christmas:

Tiffany brought a small bag of scraps for Joy:

Darling crossbody bag sighting:

Lisa is making the same pattern as Carol.  Here's the LINK from Pinterest and a shot of the block layout:

These are Lisa's luscious fabrics:

Denise's next quilt is Pecking Order from Missouri Star:

The pattern can also be found in this issue of BLOCK:

Oh, Denise!  That bag is going to be gorgeous:

Here's another great bag that Tiffany offered to swap for my fabric:

It took a while, but my space is finally set up to sew:

With interior panels constructed, Denise prepares her handles:

Raring to SEW with my deep RED nails for the RSC:

Lisa might get more sewing done, if the sun wasn't in her eyes:

Britt swooped in and got right to work on assembling her 2nd B9P

Tiffany works on trimming up her HSTs:

This photo is for my friends in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge:

Today's collection of painted rocks... Drying:

The 1st corner of my Blooming 9-Patch is assembled:

Tiffany is in production mode on her first Scrap Jar Star block:

Denise's Tiki Tote is DONE...

... And it's completely reversible:

This is the way it will be used most often:

It's looking GOOD, Britt:

Tiffany's daughter sent a picture of what just landed on the porch:

Denise is on to the next project:

TWO corners of Britt's B9P are sewn:

Tiffany is happy with her first Scrap Jar Star block.  The stripe in the top right corner of the 16-Patch was her starting point:

Oh!  Your Pecking Order quilt is going to be AWESOME, Denise:

Lisa's not sure she likes the center square...

... And explored options for change:

Here's Lisa's first "round" of the Snail's Trail block:

I spotted a different sort of rainbow rock on a trip down the hall...

... As well as, a rainbow of paints:

Hmm... Something happened with the block sizing:

Carol used some alternative piecing methods for her Storm at Sea:

Tiffany is busy with ANOTHER project:

Denise's stack of completed block parts:

Here's another look at Carol's fabric bin.  SEW many choices:

Denise is dealing with a pressing matter...

... While Tiffany pieces her first block for Shakespeare in the Park:

Carol is pleased with her first Storm at Sea block.  Special thanks go to her Pressing Assistant, Lisa, for the nice and flat block:

ONE star down, a bazillion left to sew:

More of Tiffany's fabric:

The last of the rocks and a thank you to all who painted:

Oh!  This rock has bits of RED for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge:

The adorable ladybug rock, too:

FYI... I owe Lisa a spool of thread:

Thanks, Lee!  I can't believe I left my B9P thread at home.

Until next time...
Spend the day QUILTING!!!
