I am part of a Quilting Bee of 10 talented women. Every year we hold our Bee Christmas party in January because everyone is so busy in December. We had our party last night and it was wonderful! we had such a good time. We had a potluck of great food and we laughed til the tears ran down our faces. I thought I would share some of the pictures so you could see the great gifts we exchanged with other.
I finally finished Aurora Borealis, This was the last project on my list for 2012 that needed to be completed! Phew, just in time. It measures 62″ by 76″. The blocks are made from one piece of fabric by Camelot Cottons, Daydreams II.
I finished my niece Brandy’s quilt. She loves cats, I call this one “Pussy Footing Around”. I hope she likes it. I like to make a gift bag to go along with the quilt. I just need to sew on the label and I’m off to get it mailed.
Being sick put a crimp in mt quilting time. Hurricane Sandy is bearing down and all I can think about is getting another project finished. Well, today I did finish quilting the Halloween spider web quilt that I have decided to call Spider Tracks. The backing is Edgar Allen Poe fabric called “Nevermore”. The quilt is in the wash right now. Tomorrow I will take a finished picture and show the label and backing.
Tomorrow I’m off to teach the Lemoyne star class at Sew E-Z in Portsmouth.
It was Deb Tucker Day in my class room this weekend. Today was another great class with great students. I worked their butts off, but they were up for the challenge. This is no quilt for the faint of heart. It’s not that it is hard, but there is a lot of cutting. I love Deb Tucker patterns because she is so thorough and detailed always reminding us which direct to press our seams. It was a great weekend of classes at the Hampton convention Center, sponsored by Bella Fabrics in Carollton, VA.
Thank you to Sharon, Arlene, Trishia, Robin, Suzanne and Leanne. I enjoyed you all very much.
