Saturday Sew Day

Hello from Saturday Sew Day! We have two Sew Days a month. Come play! Check our calendar for dates and times.

Marge is making a wedding quilt for friends. Beats cookie sheets or crock pots any day!

Our newest member, Bonnie shows Beth her UFO. I bet this beauty gets finished! Welcome, Bonnie! And welcome Leandra. We welcomed two new members this Sew Day! And there were more who came in inquiring. Go OMQG!

Michelle's table is busy with pretty projects. Love her paint tape tips. No wonder she is so prolific. And yeah, she drove from Georgia this morning for Sew Day. See, it's not that far for most of our members and Michelle rolled in from Georgia!

Leandra is making a quilt for the firefighters in her home town.

Mary found the cutest ABC panel and added her touches to make a darling quilt. It was so sweet.

Judy dazzled us with some English Paper Piecing. She fussy cut her fabrics to showcase the cute fabrics.

Yanick and her very good eyes, tackled a Wonder Woman paper pieced project. Oh, tiny pieces! I'm pretty sure Yanick might be the Wonder Woman! Go see the finish on her Instagram feed @sewnwithcurves. It's pretty wonderful!

This fun gift goes to the recipient of the Wonder Woman swap gift. Certainly good for a chuckle.

Beth was making a horse quilt for a dear relative's grandbaby. Look how cute the backing fabric is. The front was even cuter.

Did you get in on the postcard swap? Here are a few that were given or received. This was a fun swap so if you missed it the first time, we may try it again. What do you think?

Our June BOM. Thanks Debra! Jump right in and make one of these. They're easy! You can find the link for instructions on our side bar.

Our founder, Rene' is doing some cute reverse applique work for her little who is celebrating three soon! Rene' learned this technique at QuiltCon and obviously paid attention in class.

Ellen mastered curved piecing for this gigantic quilt. It just takes 90 or so blocks. It was surreal watching her sash her big blocks together and add borders in a few hours.

Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the food. It's always excellent. Everyone brings delicious stuff and we eat, chat, and laugh all day. Our next Sew Day at Dr. Phillips is Saturday, June 20th. Mark your calendars! Hope to see you there!

  1. Can't believe your group manages to meet twice a month! It's fun to see what everyone is working on. I enjoyed the postcard swap, but wish everyone had made "modern."

  2. I'm glad you got a good pic of Rene's reverse applique quilt; the one I took at the meeting was awful--
