Made fabric

My sewing room has been moved several times and it's been a bit of a challenge to sew.
I'm upstairs instead of on the first floor and the room isn't organized at all. I just have no desire to make decisions about where things should go.  This is the forth or fifth move in just a couple of years.  This still feels temporary and I'm tired of hunting for my things in the boxes.

The back included leftovers and fabric gifted to her from some of the Divas for her most recent birthday.

 

Gwen and Susie worked on binding.  Imagine Susie is across from Gwen--she must have stepped away before I took this photo.  Mary Ann was working on an applique project she plans to continue on an upcoming road trip.  Dianne worked on piecing some of the blocks she'd cut for the pattern she brought a couple of months ago.

 

Here's a shot of Jan reading the directions for the piping hot binding and Ruth is quite entertained.

Even with a smaller crowd, lunch was just right--as usual.

Kathy sent an email with our challenge selection plans for September and she also mentioned that we are on hiatus for August.  If you weren't at lunch yesterday, then you missed several Divas singing See You in September. I'll leave you with that visual ...
