Tuesday sewing day & class

Tuesday is becoming sewing day for some of us this summer...we've been meeting the past few Tuesdays to sew in the classroom at the store. I love the chance to sew with others! I got the St Marks quilt sewn together so am ready to make the borders.


As I was cutting the diamonds for this quilt, I had some 1 1/2" - 3" strips left over so I sewed them together in sets. I plan on cutting these up and making a  border with them and sandwiching it in between borders of the dark blue floral. Hopefully I will get this top finished today. I really need to shop for backs now, as I need a back for my daughter's asian Circle and Spin quilt too.
Laura continued work on her Spiraling Out Sampler #13...she is now officially caught up!
Diana finished her Circle and Spin top. She was working on this one on a past Tuesday sew-in day.
 Dianne finished her Twisterweave Mystery Quilt. Betty was there working on her mystery quilt as well, but I didn't get a picture of hers. Yet. I will. She missed the last class, so had a little catching up to do.
 Diana finished this one at home so brought to share. This is her Jigsaw Puzzle #2.
 Dianne had borders to put on this one, so finished it in no time.
 I also had the last session of the Centrifuge Sampler Quilt Tuesday night. Several ladies put their blocks on the design walls so I snapped some pix of that as well.
 It is always fun to see my patterns come to life with someone else's fabric choices.

It is going to hit 100 here today, so after our unseasonably cool summer weather, we will be sweating today! We are hoping it will dry things up a bit here too. The flooding goes on in this area, though we personally haven't had any ill effects yet, and we had about 3" of rain over the weekend. I know some people in the south really need rain, so I wish we could build a pipeline and send it to them!

Another day, another stitch...

Actually I just loaded a quilt and worked on writing patterns today, no actual stitching. I got the blocks all done and mostly sewn together now. Plan to work on it again tomorrow and finish.
 Well I hope I finish. 
I have one more row to sew on and then borders.

News on Sunday ....not really but trying...

I have all but one block finished for the new sampler quilt. I have all the pieces ready, just need to sew together.  Here are a couple of the blocks I'm using.
I really like these fabrics, they are from M'liss Rae Hawley's new lines.
I also have to get ready for the guy to come put in my new kitchen floor today. Need to clean behind the fridge (UGH!) and move it somewhere else for a few days.

Sewin' away....need a break....

I've been working on the applique center of the new Sampler quilt all day. I was blanket stitching around it with my machine, and ran out of thread, so will need to go to get some later so I can finish tonight. I have 5 other blocks done as well as some large HST to put between the other blocks. Just 3 more blocks to go....
well, three more after I get this finished, that is. Off to get thread!
