Guild Sewing Day

Yesterday one of my guilds had a sewing day. We worked on whatever we wanted and it was a great time. Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of photos.....I was too busy making pineapple blocks. The fellowship hall we were sewing in is a wonderful facility with a great kitchen area. There are even outlets in the floor.



I consider myself a pretty organized person and working in a disorganized or cluttered space irritates me. So, while I was making these pineapple blocks, I would dump out the brown or pink or cream strips and keep them on my table until I was ready for the next color. That meant that they were in and out of the bags many times.



I decided to stick a safety pin through a bunch of them and hang them on a hanger. This worked like a charm. I would just reach up and clip one off when I needed it.

Sewing Day

Sunday was a sewing day at Tammy's house. She invited a few friends over and we each brought a project or two to work on.
Tammy was working on a scrappy quilt,
Janet worked on a batik and Moda Marbles squares quilt,
Karen was hand appliqueing the points down on a quilt top that her grandmother made. She will then hand quilt it.
Shelly surprised us all by bringing all her new scrapbooking goodies. It looks like she has a new hobby!
I put the first side of binding on 2 placemats and a Quilt of Valor, then started sewing together my leftover nine patches.
Oh, did I mention we had brownies, courtesy of MaryAnn & the traveling plate and they were yummy! Thanks MaryAnn!

This is how Dan likes to eat his brownies....crumbled on top of several scoops of chocolate fudge ice cream....
