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:
Tiffany made this mini out of the Bonus HSTs leftover from her Pecking Order quilt:
Tiffany is working on filling the walls of her sewing room:
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:
Lisa's blocks are laid out to assess color balance:
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:
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:
Joy quilted it on her longarm with free motion loops:
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:
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!!!
Wow.... just wow what an array of projects and mediums you all have fun playing with! Got to say... the last photo of the M&M's is the best!
ReplyDeleteYou have a bunch of very talented friends. Lots of fun projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
