Do you get together with friends to sew? Some quilters I know belong to guilds that encourage small sew groups. A quilt shop near me,
The Orange Quilt Bee, has Fuzzy Slipper night a couple of Friday's a month.
Piecemakers in Costa Mesa schedules regular "Open Sew" times. As a matter of fact, that is how I met Charlotte S. (That's a story for another time.) My quilting-buddy-Auntie started her own group.
Because of my work/travel schedule, I can't commit to a "regular" get together so every now and then I sponsor my own Gathering of great ladies.
Yesterday was "A Gathering."
We sewed a lot, feasted on forbidden foods a lot (too much) and laughed a lot.

I was able to complete the Nephew's Tee-Shirt quilt I started last month in Portland.
It's ready to add borders, and maybe a few embellishments. |
If you have not yet discovered the pleasure of sewing with a group of ladies, check it out at your local quilt shop, or your guild, or start your own. What could be better than a Fun day with Food, Friends and Fabric?
A special shout out to Charlotte S for staying behind and helping with the clean up. It was appreciated.
