Quiltathon Saturday

Today started out with rain........... Lem had helped me load the car last night so all I had to do was dress and go.

I cannot sew on Friday mornings because we meet for breakfast and this morning I slept too late to go downstairs for a stitch or two. No problem, I can sew at the center. That really isn't machine piecing but I suppose missing another day will not hurt.

Rachel showed up at 8:00 and we loaded her car with things for her yard sale. We are slowly getting rid of extra stuff......... I sure hope I remember this and am more careful with purchases in the future....

We had a grand morning with just a few people there at nine. One by one as life permitted they came............... Nancy tutors a second grader in reading. Peg had out of town visitors and had to wait for them to leave. Eleanor had a meeting at church. Joan is not in the picture. She sells baked goods at the farmers market and Saturday was their first day of the season.

It was Judy's birthday (really her birthday is in June but I thought it was in May so I planned her celebration. We just celebrated early.) I couldn't find party hats but I did find some fancy sunglasses..........


We sure do have a grand time when we get together. Nancy brought soup and Barbara baked the cake. Judy and Jean bring the coffee and paper stuff.........



Friday afternoon I put together a bracelet and earrings for Judy. We wanted to have something for her to keep to remember the day. Hmmmm that is another finish fore me this year.


Barbara worked on borders for this quilt............


Jean put together this Smart Handbag. She even put tabs on the sides so she can change the handle to match her cover. Here it is with no cover.



Dee was working on a baby quilt.






Nancy was putting together her quilt.




Peg was going over the directions for this months block for The Quilted Village.



All in all it was a wonderful day to celebrate the Quiltathon.

  1. Sorry I couldn't make it to SSS. I really missed all of you. I think I had food poisoning! I woke up at 4:00 with things happening at both ends that wasn't pretty! It looks like you all had a great time. Maybe next time!!
