Wonderful Wednesday - April's Sew/Craft Friends-zy

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  This week's post will give you a glimpse into Saturday's Sew/Craft Friends-zy for the month of April.

We had a really small group this time.  There were only 4 quilters and 2 scrapbookers.  I'm not sure how the scrapbookers fared, but the quilters were rocking and rolling!

Here are the pictures from the event...

Lois was able to join us today:


Tiffany is working on a new set of blocks that she found the patter for on Pinterest:



Denise brought her current quilting project:




Look!  Tiffany brought a stack of (two) quilts that she quilting on her friend's stand up longarm:



This is her Log Cabin Block of the Month from years ago:



Her House quilt is finally quilted!  It's been waiting about 15 years:




I tried to get a close-up of the quilting:


There is a LOT of thread on this quilt:


The computer artist is hard at work:


The church Women's Group had a Planning Meeting over brunch:


The paint crew set up in the gym:


Only two scrapbookers were set up today:


Here is Denise's newest quilt top.  Only outer borders remain:


Tiffany got a Westalee Ruler Quilt Kit:


Tiffany's friend didn't know what to do with these blocks...



... SEW...

... Tiffany is cutting them apart to use for her new Pinterest quilt:


Denise has added to her quilt book library:



I like this one from Rob Appell from Man Sewing:



Fields from Above and the tutorial can be found at this LINK:


Tiffany couldn't resist this sewing pocket mat:


It works perfectly with her Featherweight:


This may be Tiffany's NEXT project:


When wondering about the block, Lois posted a Barn Quilt on Facebook.  If you look closely, it's the SAME block!  The coloration is different, but the piecing is the same:



My AQUA filled sewing space, it IS ScrapHappy Saturday, after all!!  I couldn't forget my RSC Quilter friends:



Quilting on my Altered Rainbow Commission Basket:


Denise assesses how much quilting she has gotten done:


Each rail has a different quilting motif:


Although, the motifs are being used more than once:


Stabilizing is complete!  The rest of the quilting will be done at home on my domestic sewing machine:


Lois didn't like the pattern she was working on, so moved on to this easy piecing pattern:


Tiffany finished a block...


... While I moved on to quilting my Herringbone Rainbow Basket:


Sometime later, BOTH panels are quilted:


The scrapbookers are now at work:


Off to lunch, convertible top down:



Tiffany hopes to begin this long term project, if she can discover the pattern name.  Fortunately, I know the quilter who made the quilt and will be able to borrow the pattern:



Additional blocks have been constructed and Tiffany is wondering about sashing and cornerstone options:



My finished basket,  complete with a label:



Here's a closer look:


The paint project of the day...


... And someone painted a rainbow:


Made with a rainbow of colors:


LOVE this painter's palette:


AQUA - for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge friends:


Off on another project, stitching my SECU Table Topper together:


The top is done, but I didn't bring batting or backing:


Squirrel!!!  A small pile of scraps were assembled into this thread catcher sized pieced panel:


Two-thirds of the quilting, DONE:


Tiffany was excited to received her new "Joy Original" scrappy quilted thread catcher:


Here is one side...


... And the other.  Tiffany chose the spotty, dotty binding fabric:


As afternoon turned to evening, Tiffany continued adding blocks:


Wait!!  What's she doing now?  Tiny trimming:


Here she is, trying to hide behind this 1.5" Hourglass block:


Nice try, Tiffany!!!  Hmm... wonder what she's making???  It's time to pack up, so we'll have to wait to see.

Until next time...
Be SEW crafty!!!
