Design Floor Friday - December's Sew Saturday @ Tiffany's

Welcome to another edition of Design Floor Friday!!!  I'm here to share this month's Sew Saturday event.  I got a late start, had a stop or two to make, and arrived just in time for lunch.  


First stop...

Machine pick-up:

Next stop...

A quick visit to Bernina World of Sewing:

It was Saturday, so I just HAD to take a rainbow photo for my RSC Quilter friends to let them know that I was thinking about them:

Look at these fun project bags:

And do you see the "guilt in a quilt" shown in the photo below? Seriously!  Thanks for the reminder Bernina World.  I have neglected a longtime UFO just like this.  It was sewn into 4 panels and only needs to be assembled and finished:

Soon enough, I arrived at Tiffany's...

Oh, look!  Lisa brought her sewing table:

Carol is making good progress on her current quilt:

We all went up to Tiffany's Sweat Shop to see her new longarm:

Here is a side view, along with a look at her press and design wall:

She was loading Denise's quilt on the frame:

Her process is made quicker with these handy plastic clamps:

Back downstairs, Carol gets back to work:

Denise is busy constructing the bodice of a new dress:

Joy is working on finishing up her "Yucky Green" Scrap Basket:

Meanwhile, Tiffany has loaded the batting and top of Denise's quilt:

Let the basting begin and a little quilting...

... Before Denise takes the reins to give longarming a try:

Carol looks on, as Tiffany coaches Denise:

Back downstairs...

Lisa is giving her stitch ripper a workout:

Denise has finished her bodice:

Tiffany is trimming up some HSTs:

Here's were this post meets the Design Floor:

Oh, shiny!!  Tiffany has her Fair Quilt up on the wall...

... And she has a Barn Quilt on another wall:

Joy is at the "Sumo Diaper" stage of the basket making process:

Hmm... Why is it taking so long for Denise to get a picture???

Joy is smiling and NOT talking...

Aha!  Tiffany is being a wiseguy:

Speaking of Tiffany, she uses this product to avoid ruler slippage:

Block number one is done!  Nice job, Tiffany:

No photos of the intermediate steps...

... But...

... Here is Joy's completed "Yucky Green" Quilted Scrap Basket:

Tiffany kept shooting...

... Shot after shot, waiting to see if Denise had any antics:

Bound.  On a much-improved Pfaff sewing machine.  What a relief:

Denise brought the Holiday Stocking that she finished recently...

... And got her dress put together:

It's time to play!  The zipper will have to wait for another day:

I decided to make a Tiny Thread Catcher from the off-cuts of my Jumbo "Yucky Green" Scrap Basket:

I love making something from what might have gone in the trash:

Lisa is pressing her scrappy 9-Patch blocks:

Tiffany's stack of blocks is growing:

Denise applies binding to Joy's Tiny Thread Catcher:

Carol.  Cutting:

Joy stitched on a Christmas gift:

Lisa dissects a pillow panel:

Denise contemplates a decorative stitch:

Tiffany's terribly tall tree with a ton of twinkle lights:

Denise finished Joy's Mini "Yucky" Green Quilted Thread Catcher:

She's happy to have all of the blocks for her newest quilt done: 

Joy is all set to make some blocks for Covered in Love:

The first stage is done:

Soon after this photo, Joy started the clean-up train:

Her blocks are complete, it's getting late, and she has the better part of an hour drive home:

Lisa is making sure she doesn't lose anything in transit:

Tiffany continued assembling blocks:

Carol's pile of blocks is growing:

Oh!  Just ONE more project!  Joy moved on to Frolic:

Clue One...

... And Clue Two each have a few bits sewn:

Unfortunately...

As she sewed, the Pfaff began to sound sick, AGAIN!!  Denise offered to take the machine BACK to the doctor on Monday, as she's going to pick up her own.  What a good friend!

Until next time...
QUILT til you wilt!!!
