My friend Sonia is a 'real' quilter and she put together about 17 quilts in this time period. She lines those points up like no tomorrow and usually works with pieces dolls would even say were small...
Sonia taught Mary and I about quilting, and Mary has taken it much further. She's a lifelong sewer....and quite handy with the seam ripper. I saw more ripping than sewing. Mary was my mentor teacher at work-she's pretty much one of the most incredible people I've ever met....12 years later.
Debbie has been willing to come and hang out, but she hasn't tried out the quilting yet...we are working on it, but then....it would be hard to lose all that help!
I put together two quilts, and then started on some smaller projects....some I'll post instructions for later. But here are a few....I made a blanket for my godson to go along with what I'm getting him for his Birthday....in January. His Mom's obsessed with argyle. I usually monogram blankets, but I decided that might be scratchy on a baby blanket, so I cut out a C this time and just stitched it on one corner.
Along with the quilters, half of the group brings their scrapbooking supplies (the house has internet)-some online scrapbooking/some paper/glue goes on...
I heart this week each year. I know there is something about a time away with good girls and no demands other than what your creativity insist you do.
