Our little group of 11 women met this past Friday for a day of sewing, knitting, talking, laughing and eating!! Sherry was our hostess this week. She keeps the coffee pot full!! Thanks Sherry!!
As I sat there in my space, I looked around and everyone that was "sewing" was using a Janome 720/760 machine - they weigh about 12 lbs are are virtual workhorses!! SueRap was sewing itty~bitty HST together to make her "Starstruck" blocks, SueBee and Pam were making pillowcases for charity ~ oh what fun fabrics they were using!! Laura was sewing blocks for a charity quilt and Chris was knitting. Janice and Sherry were doing hand embroidery and Kay was stitching on a binding. Helen was working on her blocks for a "Day & Night" quilt in green batik fabrics - stunningly beautiful!! Margo was hand piecing. I didn't get a whole lot accomplished myself but I did get a "granny" apron cut out and some of the rick-rack attached.
When we all get together, there are usually no less than 6 separate conversations going at once, and of course, we being women, we could keep up with all of them, including the one we were engaged in!! Never a dull moment with this group!!
We all bring our own lunch and then eat dinner together as a group!! Helen made a delicious cheese casserole, SubRap brought a green salad, Laura made her famous fruit salad and Pam made a scrumptious blueberry cobbler ~ we always have more than enough to eat!!
This is a group of women who truly love to quilt and knit and on top of that, we are very very good friends ~ I am so blessed to count these ladies in my small circle of friends!!
