March Time to Sew!

In two short weeks, we will be enjoying our annual Spring Retreat!  Members were busy this Saturday during our March Time to Sew event finishing up or making progress on their projects, many in preparation for retreat!

On top of all the fun ... the fire prevention professionals were testing all the alarms in the building!  Oh goodness ... they were kind enough to give us all ear plugs!  So we spent most of the day wearing them!  Here Amber models them beautifully!

The alarms didn't prevent her from finishing her quilt top!

Torie made great progress on her blocks!

Marianne was busy working on a wedding dress!  It will be lovely!

She also shared this recent finish ... a Thimbleberries design in Jillily fabrics!  Beautiful!

Sally was busy block building!  This top will be pieced in no time!

Cece is participating in an online Block of the Month and was busy block building as well!

Look at those beautiful blocks!  We're all excited to see how this BOM finishes!  Too fun!

Barb has been busy too!  She shared this beautiful Grandmother's Fan that she recently finished! 

From the traditional look of fans to this modern take on log cabin blocks, Barb has challenged herself!

She spent the day working on these super cute Halloween blocks ... they are adorable!

Members are reminded to register for Spring Retreat!  Easy peasy ... just use the form found on the top of the  right hand margin!  The committee is busy wrapping up plans!  It is sure to be a fun and productive weekend!
