quilts, quotes & quirky thoughts

Sunday



Well, our little quilting group met. It was a nice turn out, and show & tell was fun. I showed the 'Vase' project, which I haven't completed. We don't required completed work for show & tell, otherwise we would have a sad little show & tell.

The 'strong' personality girl came, and after show & tell, we all sat down and she demonstrated how to make the little patchwork dress- we all watched, no one asked any questions, and it was a little uncomfortable. I finally had to ask something, because at this point, you could tell it was becoming extremely uncomfortable. Then after a few questions, another person showed up. When they arrived, the interruption was perfect to make a break and move on. Soon, the girl with the dress was working with another lady who use to sew clothing, and the rest of us were planning our Christmas block swap. A lot of the ladies liked the Moda Christmas Presence line. It seems a little dark. I'm afraid with a swap, that fabric may be tricky. It doesn't seem to have many greens. Our shop doesn't have it yet, so once we see it in person, it may seem better. Any suggestions for good Christmas fabric is welcomed!!

Well, I think all in all it was successful. Then again, any chance for me to do anything involving quilting is always fun and a rewarding time for me. Thanks for the comments and suggestions about how to handle the situation. Doing a blog is so wonderful- It's nice to know someone clear across the world or in your own backyard can relate to the similar situations.

Quote of the day, as told to the Dr.

"Today isn't a good day to weigh me, I have a lot on my mind."

  • Ohoh, I'm glad you got past that hurdle with the group! Just a few awkward seconds, but no major problem!
    For the Christmas swap, will you be doing any block desired as long as it's done in the particular fabrics?

  • Well done Kim - very diplomatically dealt with without any tears, who knows if she's that desperate to play with clothing and has found someone else interested they might just form a sub-group and concentrate on that there - love the vase piece of work you showed - fab colours and cleverplay on interacting shapes :o)
