Wonderful Wednesday - May 2025 - Evening Bee Sew Day

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  In this post, I will share the very first Sew Day of my Evening Quilt Bee!!  We've been meeting as a group for many years, but had never had a Sew Day before this lovely Spring day in May.  Yes, it's been a month since the event and we're already planning another for late-Summer.

Here are the the attendees...

Joy:


Sue:


Dawn, already quilting:


Maggie:


Britt:


And Joy.  She was pleased to finish this mini mug rug before lunch time:


Photos from the day...

Maggie and Britt shared space at the cutting table:


Maggie...


And Sue working side by side on the panels for their Mondo Bags:


Carol stopped by for a quick visit after her grandson's baseball game:


Mary Ann joined us after lunch - and the yard sale at the Passmore Center:


Britt made more blocks for an age old UFO project:


Mary Ann struggled through her first paper piecing project:


After the quilting, Dawn moved on to making the binding for a baby quilt...


And she soon had a completed quilt:


Here's Britt, fiddling with her quilt's layout and checking to see if she needs to make more blocks:


Maggie, taming "the octopus" lining that will (eventually) be the inside of her Mondo Bag:


Joy made progress on her latest mini quilt:


Assembled and ready for the next step:


Dawn got the binding sewn on and down.  Congrats on her 2nd completed project of the day:


Here are the few who stayed til the bitter end:


Thank you to our "clean-up" crew!  Britt, Joy, and Dawn reset the room for the next guests after getting to a stopping point on their projects.  Special thanks to Sue for securing the space for this event!

Until next time...
We had SEW much fun!!

  1. I think half the fun of a retreat or sew day is seeing what everyone else is working on. Looks like it was fun!

  2. I believe I know what's the name of your little project there, Joy. I also love what Britt is working on. Blue and green: such a great combo. Enjoy! ;^)

  3. What a fun time! It's hard to believe that the group has never had a sew day. I love all the projects and bet you had a great day. ~Jeanne

  4. Oh, you all had a grand time from the looks of it. I should've been too because I've had a Mondo Bag pattern & fabrics for several years now and have yet to attempt it. I hope you all do decide to do it again late summer -- such great comraderie!
