We divided into two groups of four: 2 sewers, 1 presser, 1 cutter acting as the coordinator. Each group had 2 quilt tops to construct. I had cut the fabric earlier and we had 4 sewing machines set up, two in the kitchen and two in the studio. It really wasn't a competition but there was a sense of friendly rivalry. Could we succeed?
I'm thinking I may just try my machine hand at the quilting but don't hold your breath! Enjoy the season,

| Gale and Leona sewing in sunshine, still smiling. |

| There was division of labor and Laura handled the iron like a pro. |
 |
| Marny managed the studio group and made the cuts! |
 |
| Time out for a wonderful lunch prepared by Marianne. |
 |
| Two quilt tops nearly finished (the other two as well). Most of all, it was a great time with great memories! |

ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see all the smiling faces of women I know, but haven't seen for awhile! And the quilts look good, too. It's a wonderful tradition that you started years ago.
