Our member Donna is a longarm quilter at the shop. She arranged for us to use the workshop area for sewing and cutting. It was very inspiring to see the beautiful quilts at the shop and all the gorgeous fabric to fondle.
That's Mary working at the end of the table.
Here are Joanne and Jean working at their machines.
Joanne, Carolyn, and Marilyn having fun at work on their quilt projects.In the foreground, you can see the instructions I wrote on pieces of poster board, along with samples of each step. I guess you can tell who was the old elementary school teacher.The shop not only provided us with space and a 15% discount on purchases---they made us lunch! Fabulous!
I was the first to arrive at the shop after Donna, but when I set up my machine, I noticed that I did not pack the power cord to my machine. So, a short trip back home to get it, and then I found out that my foot pedal had died. Bummer! I spent my day cutting up fabric to make kits for Quilts on Wheels. Then, to finish my day on a similar disorganized note, I left my Rowenta travel iron behind when I left.
We left for our mountain place on Thursday afternoon...more to come. I am having trouble manipulating my photographs on Blogger lately. They don't drag and drop easily any more. But we had a fabulous time and I am really tired this morning!
