September

A quick post to catch up.  We were sitting around the kitchen table, which turns out to be our favorite spot to hang and catch up on hand work at Syd's.

Dianne did bring the baby quilt from the last post to finish the binding.  It's a really clever use of the print.  The print on the edges made up the border and the center was used for the background.

M.A. is working on the many, many circles from the Marshall QAL.

Syd's finishing the binding on her quest to turn all those unfinished tops into quilts.

Lynn was showing the neatest paper pieced Halloween quilt.  We even liked the back!

I was doing some counted cross stitch.  What was old is new again.

 And Gwen's got another LTG block done.

Later!

If It's August it Must Be Amish Land

 

The Diva's headed back to Amish land for their semi-annual get together. The weekend went by quick, and I procrastinated putting this together, the details are going to be a bit fuzzy.

Jan's tried and true way to measure the triple four-patch blocks to make sure the quilt is long enough. This block is her signature design. I think we are up to six rounds of friendship blocks.

Lori was with us. Her work schedule coincided perfectly (and the rental car didn't misbehave). The LTG blocks were turning out really well and I was impressed on her box of neatly cut strips.

Fran was also working on LTG using her stash of 30's fabrics on a muslin background. This is going to be one sweet quilt. And she might be the first to finish.

Syd was giving up tips on the Atomic quilt.  A couple of us have the pattern and she found a better way to paper piece.

And got this one put together.

Kathy was busy with getting her blocks together into tops and pulled off a charity quilt too.

Lynn had many blocks finished before the weekend was over.

Dianne was working on another quilt in the baby series. I thought I had a picture of the complete top but alas . . . . Maybe she will be binding at the next together so I can capture the entire quilt.

And our angel was with us.

M.A. and Gwen were working on a Deb Tucker ruler Wildwood class project.

Divas feel free to add what was missed.

Later!

July

We were hiding out from the heat around Syd's kitchen table.

Dianne, Fran & Lynn had other plans so, of course, we talked about them! 😇

Kathy finished her "Gifts So Special" for the Wildwood Quilt Show in November.

And M.A. was finishing up the binding on hers while Gwen was embroidering away - she didn't want it photographed until it was further along.

Syd and Jan were doing the hand sewing on one of Syd's jelly roll race quilts.  Syd's on a mission to finish those tops.

And M.A. made these Sew Together Bags with Gwen being gifted one of them.  Since M.A's got these figured out we volunteered her to make all the Diva's one!

More progress on LTG.

 

Kathy let me know if missed anything.

Later!

We're Back!

After a short hiatus we got back together in June to share a toast and catch-up on what everyone was up to.  Progress was made on some LTG blocks.

Dianne was making another baby quilt in her on-going series.  And this one was reversible too!

And best of all we surprised Gwen with a gift on her very special birthday.

 Later!
