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

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  This week's post will share the happenings for the Sew/Craft Friends-zy for the month of June.

Let's run through the day... AFTER my wonderful DH and I finish cleaning up the FULL travel mug of tea I spilled on the way out the door.  Sigh...

When I arrived, Tiffany was already working on a new rainbow mini quilt for her sewing room:



Lisa Shop Hop Sampler blocks were waiting for her to arrive:


Lisa found this block in the trash, as it's a little wonky:


Where are the scrapbookers???


The rock painter has returned:


Just LOOK at her selection of paints:


Tiffany made this mini out of the Bonus HSTs leftover from her Pecking Order quilt:


What's this pretty piecing???


Tiffany is working on filling the walls of her sewing room:


Kristen is planning her next scrapbook page:


Oh!  Colorful threads:


The rock painting station is open for drop-in artists:


Lisa got busy cutting her next block:


Carol is cutting out blocks, too:


Denise completed her Sew Together bag since last month:


She completed her Fence Rail quilt from the month before:


Here is Denise in a cozy quilt cocoon:


This is the BACK of Tiffany's Rainbow Star block:


She's also working on a larger version of the block that Lisa found in the trash last night:


Tiffany also brought her recently completed Bionic Gear bag - with built-in M&M holder:


Carol is piecing more blocks from her Grandmother's clothing:


Lois worked on a Quilt of Valor...


... Made from this pattern from the Grateful Threads Chapter of Quilts of Valor:


Here is Lois's quilt top, waiting for borders:


Joy is doing an "expansion project" on her Pecking Order quilt:


A new bag in process on Tiffany's table:


Lisa's blocks are laid out to assess color balance:


Britt prepares to pin baste her Butterfly quilt:


Colorful zippers await Denise's attention:


She is happy to oblige:


Tiffany is busy with her second Bionic Gear Bag:


Placement of Joy's background squares is complete:


This is the moment when Britt realized that her backing fabric had been applied... upside down:


Nice job, Denise!  You are making quick work of this bag:


Tiffany works one step ahead of her "student" on this bag:


"Star" points are in place and waiting to be (double-) sewn:


Pockets galore, Denise...


... And you have attached side panels, too:


Joy switches gears and Britt is right there to help with just the right binding fabric to marry the front and back of this Donation quilt:


Here is BQG1 Donation Quilt quilted and bound (by Margaret.)  It's ready to be dropped off at Cary Quilting Company for inclusion in the Carolina Hurricane Quilt Project:


Joy prepared BQG2 Donation Quilt for binding, trimming edges:


Tiffany has completed ANOTHER Bionic Gear Bag:


Britt cut binding strips for BQG2 while Joy trimmed the quilt:


Members of Brunswick Quilters Guild made this Donation top:


Joy quilted it on her longarm with free motion loops:


Hurry up and fill this space, Tiffany!!  I want to see this block:


Smile, Lisa!!  Your shirt coordinates with your quilt project:


Here's Tiffany, filling in the spaces of her new block:


Have an M&M, Joy!  Carol brought some, too:


Ta-da!!  Denise's Bionic Gear bag only lacks the final zipper:


After dinner, she was ready for her paper-pieced Agave project:


Tying tassels for a new project:


Waiting for paint to dry on the largest canvas he's painted in years:


With "expansion project" complete, Joy works on a scrap quilt:


Looks like a good stopping point, Denise:


Tiffany has begun cutting a quilt project that has been on the back burner for months:


Lisa worked on sashing and cornerstones for her blocks:


Carol was kind enough to unpack her blocks for a photo:


Tiffany was speed sewing strips for her new quilt:


Lisa's blocks are all laid out and ready for assembly:


Joy completed her quilt top for Jack's Basket made from Dee Dee's 4-Patch castoffs:


Look how busy I've been!  And dark BLUE was included, too:


Packing up the M&M stash and heading home...


The artist cut his painted panel to create this backdrop:


Here's a close-up of the stunning canvas:


Until next time...
Quilt the day away!!!

  3. What a variety of projects! I loved the green and white donation quilt. The painted canvas - turned into tetragraphs? - is such a great idea. Can you share more on how he did this? Canvas material and source, size and composition of frames, etc. I know it's not quilting, but it IS crafty. Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com
