Sewing Tuesday......

It's Tuesday, guess what we are doing!I'm once again working on a class I will teach next month at Piecemakers, "Bargello Placemats". Last week I sewed strips together making a tube This week, I cut strips of this tube and started the process of making my Bargello Placemats one strip at a timethen another
and anotherJust watching it grow..............................

And then at the end of the day this is what I accomplished

 Marylou's back at it once again,working on blocks for her beautiful Grandmothers Flower Garden, this quilt will win awards! I can't wait to see it finished. Victoria has started the process of sewing her strips for her placemats one strip at a time

through out the day.Victoria's strips are growing, I love the fabrics she picked, these are going to make beautiful placements.

Mom is busily working on connecting hexogons for our Grandmothers Flower Garden.

 While keeping a watchful eye on Carol's pressing

Yes that's right, Carol was able to join us today. What a blessing! It has been so long since we have been able to sew together. Carol jumped right in unsewing a few missewn blocks that misteriously appeared in her "Blue Ridge Beauty" earlier in the year while she wasn't watching.  Thank goodness you caught it in time Carol, unlike someone we know who had completely quilted the quilt only to find out that some of the blocks were misplaced. We want mention names, but I believe her initals are dsm. 

Judi is tucked in just behind Carol, sorry Judi I didn't get a closer picture of you at work on your Block of the Month (BOM) Quilt. Judi is calling this quilt her Barn Quilt. This quilt is going to be wonderful, I can't wait to see it finished. It is all applique` and what a job Judi is doing! Each block is BEAUTIFUL......


The only one missing was our friend Sue


Oh how we miss you! Sue is our long distance Tuesday Quilter. We had the pleasure of sewing with Sue for many years before she decided to move back North to Wisconsin to be closer to family. Hopefully Sue will continue sewing with us. This is a picture of Sue's Mystery Journey Quilt in progress. Sue started this quilt just before she moved and worked on it right along with us each month.  Another quilt that we worked on as a group was a quilt called Star Light  Sue makes beautiful quilts.
See why we love Tuesday? I am so very blessed to have each of these ladies in my life!
