A Rainy July 4

July 4,,, rain and sun off and on,,, I think we now live in the NorthWest of the South!!

There are some more pictures of what we do, who we are....
this is B and S.... tying one of our quilts...dsc00146 and another one of them,,,, they are just the best quilt tie-ers!!!
tying a quilt Ok now this is the great view we have when we all meet. Always at L's house and she has a great one! Lots of room to sew, the iron board is always up and the iron is hot,, lots of connections for the machines and of course great company. If we get lucky,,, she has made us some fresh banana or zuchinni ( how do you spell this ) bread. And of course the zuchinni is out of her garden. What more could we ask for ???

See our view!
our view
this is a picture of S. holding one of the quilts that we made... Its about right for a lap quilt or if you are in a wheelchair... I found the flower fabric at a store for not much money and thought
it would be a good buy,,, a good focus fabric or a back.. finished quilt What do you think?? I bet there will be lots of quilts with this fabric in it, cause I bought the bolt - about 10 yards!!!. Here is another one that we made,,, I think we all have blocks in it....finished quilt Some of you may have seen these blocks in the past,,, Hancocks had them as one of their block of the months... well anyway L and I both had picked up a lot of them when they were marked down to 10 cents a block,,, now how could you walk away from that !!?? So we all took the ones we liked and sewed them up at home and brought them to one of our bee meetings and VOILA! another lap quilt! Stash fabric went into the borders and backing . Check out the block in the middle - one of B's designs,,,, isn't it great! and just sets off the quilt!



OK,,, this is enough for now,,, I have some of my own sewing to get done!



Comments are appreciated - just be gentle!

Happy 4th everyone! Fireworks and BBQ,,, what a good combination!



later
