I have a friend visiting for the weekend. Boy, oh, boy, are we having FUN!
There's still lots to do. Namely, basting 5 quilts. (For crying out loud!)
Super cute pincushions in use. (LOVE!)
Including this awesome one from Cindy. (LOVE!!!)
And I can't tell you how fun it is to see projects in real life rather than on screen.
Hope you are having a happy weekend, too!
I spy Terri:) Looks like ya'll had a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love those long, messy, productive weekends where you just crank out projects left and right. I need me one of those for sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you are having, enjoy every minute

It is like a scrapbook crop for quilters. I am soooo jealous!
ReplyDeleteAt first, I couldn't understand how you managed to get my purse in your post...then I figured out who was sewing at your house! :) I have that pink bag! Looks like you two had a blast!
ReplyDeleteLOL...I just did a blog on my mess!
ReplyDeleteWhen Finaly turned on my Husky to start my son's quilt...I could smell the dust burning off the light...OMG I give up...luv your projects.
Amanda I love your blog. I just read the how to label you quilt tutitoial. Thanks for all the info you share.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Wish I was there but I did get to hold and kiss the new grandbaby today!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited and jealous you two are sewing together!!!! I'm determined we'll all have our weekend too!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHAVE FUN!!

Have you ever used 505 Basting Spray to make your quilt sandwiches? I do love that stuff. So easy and doesn't gum up the needle.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about cleaning just to mess it up!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun weekend. I need to find some quilters in my area.
I am so not kidding. I'm using my airmiles to come have a sewing weekend with you...
ReplyDeleteP.S. happy you like the pincushion!It was fun seeing it being used.
Look slike you are having a great time
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs Gina xxxx
Even the title made me happy :) Raading about your adventures never fails to inspire me, thank you xo
ReplyDeleteWonderful fun! Karmen
ReplyDeleteHow fun! We all need weekend like that every so often! And to do it with a friend just means double fun!
ReplyDeleteMy retreat weekend is coming up soon. I am so excited, it will look like this times 5 quilters. Lots of food too, of course.
ReplyDeleteThis is my constant battle -- clean, make a mess, and repeat! I just can't imagine what would happen if I didn't do the clean part -- it would be an explosion of mess!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and Terri are having a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys are having a good time!
ReplyDeleteHave you guys tried spray basting? I watched a YouTube video on that and went out and bought my own spray can of 505 basting spray! As soon as I get the back pieced, I will try out the whole spray-basting thing (I usually hand baste a la Sharon Schamber).
ReplyDeleteYay! Looks like a lot of fun. I have Monday through Thursday off this week. I am hoping to spend some quality time creating. :)
ReplyDeleteI think sewing is 100x better when there are friends sewing together! :)
ReplyDeleteDuuude... we sure had fun, didn't we?! I was sad to leave but exploded with excitement when I got home. I have so many ideas swirling in my head from all our brainstorming and your fresh ideas. How do you say in your country, "Can't wait to do it again soon!" LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why do I live so freaking far away??? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteIn the 4th picture down, the piecing backs photo, who made that beautiful flower print? I'd love to add some to my stash.
ReplyDeletelooks like fun! the only thing better than sewing is sewing with a friend. and teaching your daughter to sew. i love doing that.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! Ooh! That's my kind of mess!!!!
ReplyDelete:-) looks like you two had a super to
Time!!! Ab's is getting so big!!!
Lucky both of you---I'd love to have a sew day with you both!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Can I come next time?
