I sewed for 2 and a half days. Such fun! And no that wasn't sarcastic. I found out my sewing eyes are bigger than my ....... I took to many projects and did not even finish one. But I did get a lot done. Christine and Lelia went up first. And Vivian and Deor went up on Monday morning. I got there on Tues. morning. I started sewing right away. This is the project I was working on.
That is a box filled with tiny squares of fabric all cut and ready to sew. A sample of the finished block is above the pattern. I have to make 102 of those blocks. I got about 60 done at quilt camp and I put 4 rows together. My camera ran out of batteries while I was up there so you'll have to wait on a picture. I am so excited to get some progress done on this quilt. It is for our queen size bed. Huge.
It is a tradition of theirs to give pillow presents at quilt camp. These are just little fun things. Deor made cute canvas bags with spa socks inside. Lelia made a pin cushion with a scrap bag attached. She also bought us these cute button braclets. Chris did a little something everyday. She had us decorate a little plastic box and then she would add things to it at different times throughout the day. And this is what I gave them:
They are little quilt block magnets that are 1 1/2 inches big. Just made out of scraps. I like making little things. And I also made these fabric fortune cookies.
Inside were some sewing fortunes that Dave helped me make up. Like "May your feed dog never bite or press 'yer' foot." Ha Ha.
Here is a picture of the 5 machines set up in the living room.
That is Chris in the first picture and Vivian in the second.
Well I had lots of fun and will add some more when I get some pictures from them. Enjoy your day.
Sounds like a lot of fun! I'd love to get away for 2 and a half days and do some scrapbooking. I could get SO much done!! Glad you had a fun time!
