Catching up on last weekend ...

Let me see ... where to start ...

Well, for me the morning started early. Load the car, drop the pup off at her Grandmother's and then hit the road to Holly's. Marlene was loading up and heading from the other direction.

Holly was in her studio busy organizing her stash. She had completed the quilting on our quilts and had them hanging for us to see as we walked in. Mine is on the right.

We didn't realize it until later, but it dawned on us later that we were inadvertant participants in Judy's Quiltathon weekend.

Mar was busy working on a project with greens that she needed to get finished.

I was busy working on some red blocks that I had to get finished.

And Holly was busy on a couple of projects. She worked on the border for a quilt and then chose a binding for a quilt top that she had finished quilting. I have looked through all my pics. I thought for sure I had a pic the quilt she was doing the binding for, but I guess I didn't get one.

We had so much fun! We ate, we laughed, we sewed.

I brought a vegetable pasta salad, Mar brought tequila-lime chicken (yum) and Holly fixed garlic bread and some yummy brownies. Weekends quilting with friends are the best!

After packing up and saying goodbye to Holly and Mar, I parted company with my Lost Socks.

These are part of a Lost Sock block swap I am in. I can't wait for the other Lost Socks to come home.

Note: Edited to add pictures

So ... the weekend approaches ...

... and I am so looking forward to it.

I haven't had very much to blog about the past couple of weeks. It has mainly been work, work, work. Oh, and I have been busy finishing up some Obligation blocks.

But the weekend is almost here. Another sewing weekend has been planned with friends and that can only mean one thing ... FUN FUN FUN. I have started to gather my things, don't want to forget anything. LOL

Anyway, it's early and I didn't feel like breaking out my camera, so there aren't any block pics just yet. Have to grab a cup of coffee and get ready for today. But check back, I'll get something posted a bit later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Last Weekend Continued

So, getting back to last weekend Quilt Frenzy ...

Every morning and evening we saw several deer families. One doe had a single fawn and the others had twins. Very cute and not very skiddish at all.

Holly made and quilted this cute little neutrals quilt.

And she also found up and quilted this beauty.

Pam chose fabrics from her stash for these small socks. She had her mini group make them for her group project.

Holly was busy making these cute Halloween blocks. This quilt is going to be gorgeous.

Mar gave a tutorial on those cute little gift bags that she brought. And Pam gave a tutorial on a project bag that she has made that uses clear vinyl. Mar made one of those and was also busy working on her Potato Bags.

We also got to see Mar's Prairie Paisley quilt and the picture on her blog does not do it justice folks. That quilt is beautiful!

I was busy working on my socks (like Pam's above) for a sock swap that I am in.

We had so much fun. I'm looking forward to doing it again. Break out the calendars girls ... we gotta do that again!

Celebrations

If you haven't stopped by Mar's blog recently, be sure to head on over there and check out the celebration. It's her Blogoversary and she is having a giveaway.

Mar - it's been so much fun reading your blog and seeing all of your wonderful projects this past year. I look forward to many, many more blog entries.

Starting the weekend

Wow, so much to post ... where to start ...

Hi's and hugs all around upon arrival and then into the "hive" to start the fun.

We were welcomed in ...

and then ...








What a treat to be able to have this view of fabric all day while working on projects.




Marlene brought the cutest little gift bags for everyone. How sweet was that!

We started with some Show and Tell. And then we got right into setting up our sewing stations. We had a Friday afternoon jumpstart to the weekend and a full day and a half to follow.

I'll have to continue this later. Blogger is being a bit resistant to uploading pictures at the moment.

Weekends - What can I say ...

Don't you just love weekends? I do. They are such are welcomed change to the ho-hum work week. This weekend is no exception. I get to spend it with friends ... quilting, of course! My friends Mar and Holly are coming down to get together with Pam and me for a Quilt Frenzy. I guess a frenzy is good when it comes to quilting.

Sorry I don't have pics to post just yet. This past week got away from me. What can I say ...

Hope all of you can spend time quilting with friends this weekend.

A Busy Weekend

It's a busy weekend ahead for me. I have been working on some applique blocks for an online group swap that I am in. The deadline is near - so I'm stitching my little fingers off.

Today I am going to help a neighbor, Carol, cut out a quilt. She is fairly new to quilting and hasn't really done much rotary cutting. And then it is back to applique for the rest of the weekend.

I also have to pick up some fresh batteries for my camera and then I will be able to post some more pics.

Hope you all have a fun, quilt filled weekend.
