Time to Sew - August & September

Summer is in full swing ... and fall has already encroached itself into our lives!  With 20+ inches of rain in August, members have been busy sewing!

Marianne's first Joy mini has been quilted and bound!

And the second one is pieced!

She made a project bag for her wool appliqué projects!

She finished piecing this Tula Pink color wheel!

Pieced this top and had left over fabric ...

... so she pieced the backing too!

A friend is adopting two little girls.

Marianne made a quilt for each new sister!

How does she manage to get all this done?

By making a super cute cover for her planner!

All of this piecing means that her Leader & Ender project has been growing!

It is about to be pieced together!  So inspiring!

Neva celebrated a finish by working on the binding!  She is ready for the holidays!

Our members and their accomplishments are sew inspiring!

Our September Time to Sew event is early this month!  Don't miss the fun this Saturday, September 3rd!  Details in the right margin!

Fun with Baskets & Piecing ... and Sherri Falls!

Sherri Falls kept half of the participants busy creating Crafty Baskets in the morning and moving on to patchwork piecing in the afternoon!
Saturday

Many guild members have been fans of Sherri's designs for years!

Our excitment to learn and sew with her personally ...

... was obvious!

Everyone was also excited with their baskets ... it was fun to watch them take shape.

Before long, everyone moved on to their patchwork projects.  Sherri shared many tips and techniques that ensure success with her designs!

Look at this photo ... I spy two happy campers!

Before long ... the second project of the day was underway!

Jackie went home that evening and kept sewing!  Sunday morning she shared two finishes with Sherri!  What fun!

Sunday

On Sunday the fun started all over again!

Before long, a new crop of baskets began to take shape!

Members fell in love with their baskets early in the process ... wearing them with pride!

The morning passed quickly ...

... and soon we began working on our patchwork projects!

It was amazing that Sherri allowed us to work on any project of our choice!

Even though some chose the same pattern, they were all a bit different!

More happy campers!

We were thrilled to spend a day sewing with Sherri!  She was so generous with her knowledge and techniques!  The skills she shared with us will not only be useful when making her designs, but will be a powerful influence in all of our future projects!
