Home Again

Well, i am home again..actually that was Saturday evening. It was great to get away for just one night an sew it up!!!

There were only 5 of us that ended up making it, so it was a bit small, but still fun. Lots of chatting--about sewing, family, others....eating, snacking, treating...sewing, un picking, ironing, cutting....you know all that good stuff.

Here we all are:

Ok. now this was a saturday picture. we went to bed at 2 and got up at 7 so we look super hot!! hee hee

I took a few things to work on and finished 2 things!! yipee!!

This one quilt i have had since last year. I had a lot of it finished but got stumped on this one block. So i needed a few opinions on it to help me get it right. So a few opinions later, a flying geese block finally figured out and now it is finished with one border on:

This one has a story and a bit of history to go with it...i will share that when i find it's borders and have the top done. sound good? good.

I also finished up the flying geese paper piecing quilt that twiddletails is doing. Still need 2 more pieces done. show off later.

We went to a local cute and tiny quilt store and there was my moms quilt! She is teaching a class there--can you believe? fun huh? This is the quilt and pattern she is teaching:

We asked a neighbor to come and share us some of her quilts. she is jack parsons- concrete guys wife. She is an excellent quilter and has perfect points and peicings all the time. She also brought this cute bag to show too. mmmm bag.... Fun trunk show.

On our way home we stopped at another quilt store and looked, and bought a few things. not me. nothing was crying for a new mother. you know...take me, pick me...i want to go...

We just missed the closing time on another one, so we just went on home.

Thanks for coming girls....I had a wonderful time. We sure did miss those who weren't able to come...maybe next time.
