Saturday sewing

The Friday girls decided to get together for a sewing day on Saturday (oxymoron I know but some of us were busy on Friday!)

Karen was our hostess and her house is all decked out for Christmas with Santas and quilts

and her wonderful Village

We all helped provide a scrumptious afternoon tea

(I made a GF banana and chocolate loaf – timely as I had a few bananas that hadn’t fared well in Thursday’s heat and humidity)

and Karen showed us her show and tell…….

This is one of my designs

I love Karen’s fabric choices and especially her hand quilting

and just look at this lovely backing on it

Karen has been gifted these beautiful doilies which she hopes to put into a quilt

and she’s made great progress with her “Mrs Billings” interpretation

Helen was busy stitching “Primavera” blocks

Andrea is having such fun with her “Sweet Sunday” blocks (and the gorgeous bag is a present from Maree)

Maree is up to the last round of her Diamond TAW

and the one day I felt like stitching…….and I’d left the blocks at home! Grrrrr
