Michael showed us the strip sets he cut and sewed together this morning, for his "Fruit Salad" quilt.
CJ showed us a piano bench cover she is making, and she began the process of quilting it herself.
Glenna was able to complete two of her strip sets, and she has determined that she will probably need to purchase a new "Singer Simple" sewing machine, on the advice of Martha Stewart via Michael.
Cindy cut her strip sets into the pieces needed, and then she began putting together the various elements of her quilt. She also brought in two boxes of fabric that she "inherited," encouraging us to take whatever fabric we wanted and/or thought we might be able to use. Michael took several pieces of gingham -- I'm sure he has something in mind, but we'll have to wait to see what that might be! Others took some, and I took quite a bit, which I will share with my sisters at our annual Quilt Retreat July 17-19. We may use it to make "donation quilts," which we've been talking about doing soon.
Betty came by to cheer us on and to see what progress each of us has made. All in all, it was a very successful day!
Oh, by the way, Karri's daughter Hannah shared some no-bake cookies she made, which were enjoyed greatly. Thanks, Hannah, for your contributions.
Enjoy the pictures, all!
Thank you for posting this and the pictures. I like how we share different viewpoints of the same activity from different perspectives. I downloaded the pictures you put on here and will put them all in one album to share. I am definitely sharing this summer with my students.
ReplyDeleteThe afternoon was very productive. I like the album idea, Prier. I hope you will include some of the pictures you have taken and used on your own blog!
