Just some time with the girls…

It kinda feels like summer but not quite…but we had our annual Sit & Sew at my house today…and I just want to start blogging again…so right after the girls left I started this…If I do not list the pattern name or link I do not know it…

It is so nice so sit with a bunch of ladies and just get together and share, EAT, and just laugh…so It was a nice change to the hustle and bustle…but I will be catching up on my posting…matter of fact I will post about this groups May’s Sit & Sew as well…

Thanks ladies for a fun day!

Here is Lori…with her finished quilt top from the Hexi group that meets at the WI shop once a month…these ladies get stuff done!!!!  I know these are pieced hexes from a book.  Call the shop and ask for Debbie it is her group.

Then Kathy is the queen of WOOL Stitch-A-Longs…these pattern are free on 12 designers blogs- Jan 15-July 1st…

Kathy finishes these with her own magic touch of putting fabrics together to make hers original from all the others!  (and yes…that is my Wool Summer Block of the week on the table…block 2 shipping now!)

We all loved Kathy’s shirt in the photos!IMG_3598

Here is the list for this stitch along…

and…she still has time to do the Summer Block of the Week!!IMG_3597

Judy shared a Blackbird Design that she just finished quilting…1/8″ echo! Just fabulous…IMG_3602

Jean was sewing on her Wool Summer block as well and she has mastered the feather and fly stitches and now the bullion knots…IMG_3603

Isn’t this Lori Holt cross stitch the sweetest!  We framed it for her and we all loved how it turned out!

The next set of photos is from our April Sit & Sew…It started off with these lovely heavenly scones…and sorry…do not even ask me for the recipe…it is as secret from my friend Tina from Bittersweet Quilt Shop in Pinconning MI…she trusted me to keep the recipe and not share it…these are made only for those who come to quilt class/sit & sew and so on…so come join in!  White Chocolate Raspberry Scones…YUM-OIMG_3006

This is from Donna……she is putting this in the center of the Dresden…some artist she knows drawings…how cool…

IMG_3012and then here is her (Kathy) first loser award..HA!…that is what I call 2nd place…but she knows it is for sure a winner!!!! OH…did I mentions she quilts these herself!!!!  I’m kind of envious of this…but…hopefully I’ll get over it soon.

This quilt is called Somewhere in Time…we still have kits for this beauty…one of a kind masterpiece.  The link only brings you to the pattern…if you want the kit call the shop…It must not have made the site when we changed to the new site…we will get it on soon thoug, tomorrow morning…we are still finding some items that have been lost in the wicked world wide lost website realm…IMG_3014

We had some guests this time…and I a smuck and didn’t write down any names…but these girls stayed at The Gathering retreat house and I wish I could have crashed their party…next time!IMG_3015

    This is a group of talented ladies. Also, look at the chicken pin cushion with crochet on the head and the cute tin that holds one ladies’ thread.

    I loved all the wonderful projects shown.  Lori’s table runner especially caught my eye and I am wondering if you could tell me where to purchase the pattern or a kit.  Thank you so much.Lois Spinelli
