Every Tuesday I spend with my friends hand quilting at the church , I look forward to this every week , so relaxing and we enjoy a meal together and lots of laughs too . Yesterday I decided I would grab my camera and share what we are working on .
Here is Joan and Julia working away on my spool quilt , can you see how close to being finished we are , this makes me very happy :-) I love how the spools are just popping out now that they are quilted , I do love this quilt . On the second quilt , we always have two on the go , is Carol, Becky and Verna , this quilt belongs to Marlene and she also wants this finished for the quilt show , I think we can make it .
We have a long list of people waiting to have their quilts done , it isn't a quick process since we only meet once a week .
I have finished my landscape , did a little colouring in the sky with my trusty coloured pencils , overall I am pleased with how it has turned out .
I actually have another small finish but I can only give you a sneak peak , this is to be kept secret until our May meeting ,I think I told you about this project , we have to make something that represents our birthday .
That is not much of a hint is it ,oh well you will have to use your imagination until I can reveal the entire project .
I have my April BOM finished up for
Buttermilk Basin , such a sweet pattern this month , I just love it .
This would be cute on the front of a tote to carry to classes , thanks so much to Stacy for providing these patterns , if you are interested hop on over to
her blog and check it out or visit her on FB .
It is cold and dreary here today , I can be thankful it isn't snowing though and surely the warmer weather is coming soon . My heart goes out to those affected in Nepal , I really shouldn't complain about the weather at all , they have much more serious things to complain about .
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by , it is always a pleasure to see you .
hugs Sheila
Thanks for sharing your quilt day with us! Love seeing quilts in a frame!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Sheila!,,,
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts. Love your landscape & your BOM piece. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both quilts with the ladies. I do like your little mini. I'm off this evening to hand quilt. We have two baby quilts on the frames. I'm hoping we can get a good deal done tonight.
ReplyDeleteYour landscape quilt has turned out beautifully! Love those two quilts on the frame.......you are right, quilting makes a big difference, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour spool quilt and the other quilt both look nice with the quilting that has been done. They really do change when that stitching is put in. Your landscape is really sweet. I'd love to be on that beach with my toes in the water.
ReplyDeleteMany busy hands make light work! Glad you brought your camera along so we could have a peek!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you all get together to quilt....

ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds like a wonderful time with friends and quilts.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous way to have your quilt done. All sitting together working on it and chatting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery wall hanging and nice BOM . Sew cute.
Lovely to see 'proper' quilting going on and friends enjoying themselves. Lovely finish on the landscape and your BOM is fun. Yes, so sad for the people of Nepal and such horrendous loss of life. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely friends quilting together - this is fantastic dear Sheila! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Deborah
What a great idea. A real quilting bee with friends. I have not heard of anyone doing that here. Fabulous
ReplyDeleteA very nice meeting! Write this: one day I'll meet you there! His reels are beautiful! It's a great job!
ReplyDeleteThe landscape was interesting! You used pencil in heaven? Hmmmm ...... (this sound I'm thinking about it).
What is this starry sky?
Good seams for you! Hugs!
you are sew very lucky to have your quilts hand quilted. not everyone has the time or the group to do that. At the quit show there were very few that were hand quilted. We all seam to want things done faster these days. I still have a couple I want to hand quilt...... if I do not get there I do know some one who will do that for me....
ReplyDeleteGreat job on all your projects you keep me inspired
in stitches
I would love to be there watching you ladies quilt....how wonderful! I love your header too Sheila xx
ReplyDeleteNeat to see what you do at your sewing group. How exciting that your spools is nearly done! Love your little landscape too :-) And your BB block, gorgeous!
