Sunday Sew & Sews

 I   haven't bragged on my Sunday Sew and Sews in a while--it's time.

Our monthly meeting lasts about 2-2.5 hours, one Sunday a month. There are 13 of us but it's rare that everyone is able to attend. We do Show and Tell, talk about our lives, and talk about The Quilt Show's Block of the Month project---most are doing it.

Holly showed off a few things. Sizzle, designed by Becky Goldsmith, the 2019 Block of the Month, Goldie the cat did inspection, it met her approval:


Holly did Afternoon Delight, the 2020 Block of the Month. She changed the Double 9 Patches to 4 Patches, and this one is somewhat smaller than the original. It's the perfect size: 

Pam E brought show and tell. We did a Round Robin Swap a few months back and hers is now done:

A new top all done, Tula Pink's Pineapples. Pam started this at our Joyful Journey Retreat in March: 

We are working on a Secret Swap that I can't show you right now so those will have to stay under wraps.

Finally, my birthday just keeps on keeping on. Judi made a DELICOUS German Chocolate cake--my husband's favorite--and she left half here:


They also brought me a lovely vase filled with beautiful flowers:


I love this group of women so much and it brings me great joy to see how each of them has grown as a quilter and the friendships that have been forged. 

If you want friends, offer to start a small group. All it takes is for one person to say "Is anyone interested in getting together...?" 

We only do food in June and a potluck lunch in December. We don't do hands on sewing, although you could. We never run out of things to talk about. And each member knows she is with her tribe.

Let's quilt.
