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!!
I think half the fun of a retreat or sew day is seeing what everyone else is working on. Looks like it was fun!
ReplyDeleteI 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! ;^)
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!
