Our first guild meeting of the season!!!

I went to my quilt guild's first meeting of the season last night. They had two wonderful ladies showing their work. Diane Davies and Jane Lay shared some beautiful quilts with us. They are so talented. I took some pictures, but my camera wasn't co-operating with me. I need a new one. But I will show you the best ones. Lots of pictures here....so here we go.

I love the Paddington Bears Maze quilt. It's so cute!

I also love this quilt with all the trees....Gorgeous!!

And look at this large appliqued quilt. Isn't it sweet?

The one lady did mostly applique. I love the dragon!!!!

Another woman brought her Tisket A Tasket quilt for show & tell. This was my favorite of the night. It's just gorgeous, and the quilting is amazing!!!

They also had the community quilts on display. They made 25 quilts over the summer do give to local charities. They were also gorgeous!!!

Well, that's all for today. I work night shift starting tonight and for the next three nights.

I don't know what I will get done sewing related during those days, but I will try.

My Jack-in-the-Pulpit quilt top is finally done!!!!

It is finally done. I sewed 12 hours yesterday and 5 hours already today to finally finish this top. I still have to baste it, quilt it and put the binding on. But first I have to remove all the paper off the back from paper piecing. The pattern suggested not to take the paper off until the top was done. The two shorter sides of flying geese were paper pieced. Even though I do love this technique because you get perfect flying geese, it is much more time consuming. Well, I'm not going keep you. I have more sewing to do.

I got some sewing done...

Hi everyone! I hope you are all well. I have been doing some sewing, even though I have not posted in quite a few days. I don't have pictures of all my projects, but do have the picture of the center of my Jack-the-piper quilt. I'm still working on the flying geese border. But I got quite a bit of it done last night. This has definitely been a more challenging block. The center of the block was paper pieced. That part went together quite easily. But the outer triangles were a challenge. At first I was making the seams too big, even with my 1/4 inch foot. I wasn't getting the 10 1/2 inch block I needed. I was always short. Then, I tried to make the seams scant. But then it was too big and I was cutting off the corners when the sashing went on. Ahhhh!!!! Well, I did my best. Mr. Seam Ripper got a lot of use. Oh Well!!!! I like the way it's looking. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend will like it.
