Sewing with friends...

My good friend, Tami, came to visit this weekend.  A few times a year we get together and sew all weekend long while watching chic flicks and other movies we've seen a million times!  (I'm finding I have to watch movies I've already seen or I don't get much sewing done!!)

I finished my "Big Bang" quilt...started this project last summer in a class I took at my local quilt shop.  I've had most of it completed for a while...just had to sew the 4 big pieces together!  Can't wait to get this one quilted!

Finished the embroidery and piecing on this pillow (Pattern and fabric by Aneela Hoey "Little Apples" by Moda).  I got this cute pattern and tiny square pieces at quilt market.  The pattern is adorable and goes together so easy!

 And here is the back...

 It was such a nice weekend...cool and crisp with fabulous sunshine (and a little rain!!).   The Shedders were quite happy to perch in the open windows, one of their favorite things to do.   And there is still more time left in this weekend...so I'm off to go do some more sewing.  Hoping to get a few more started projects finished! :)

Sunshine on a cloudy day

I love weekends when Tami and I get together to sew. I can't count how many chick flicks we watched...even watched one twice! It's always fun to see what we accomplish as well.

I created my own pattern using a jelly roll. I'm sure there's a pattern out there for this but it's really quite simple. I love these colors. I call this "Sunshine on a Cloudy Day". It was a bit dreary this weekend...so, the name is fitting. :)

This photo...still organizing my blocks...

The shedders had fun too...fighting over the same chair the whole weekend. I think they went into hibernation mode. I'd like to go into hibernation mode - no work for a while would be great!!! (so I can sew!)

And here is Sunshine sewn together...just needs borders and all the rest to finish.

I worked on my rag quilt too...almost ready to cut the fringe to rag it...I started this quilt over a year ago. It's time to finish it!!
