I love this season! It is my favorite and yesterday was an absolutely wonderful way to start enjoying it :-) The sew day with Rana and Melanie's sweet dog, Kali was fantastic fun and amazingly productive. I was able to sew all 18 sawtooth star blocks together....Rana probably thought I would never leave, as she finished an entire quilt top and got two all basted together and ready to quilt before she started working on more blocks for yet another quilt! She's fast..I'm not. But I was definitely dedicated! The technique I used to sew these is used by Jo Morton and I think, Carrie Nelson as well. It takes awhile but I think they are somewhat goof proof for the less than precise stitchers because the stars came out just like I like them :-)
We stopped midway for a delicious lunch out at the French Bakery in Morro Bay down by the harbor. What a beautiful, sunny day which of course I can't share with you because I forgot my camera. Still not the blogging expert here...
But the day was a huge success and only wish Melanie could have been in 2 places at once...having a wonderful vacation and there with us too!
All time favorite is anything Jo. I guess you know I really LIKE these blocks and will LOVE the quilt!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it was a VERY fun day! Thanks for coming by and sharing it with me. And, just for the record, I did not want you to leave at all!!
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are fantastic, I love Jo's fabrics, it's going to be a great quilt. Isn't it fun to have a sewing buddy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and visiting my blog. It seems as Fall is a favorite of so many of us bloggers out here! It was great that you had a fun sewing day....I sew with my sister as often as we can get together and it's one of my favorite things to do!
ReplyDeleteOh those stars are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color choices for the star blocks!
ReplyDeleteOh Loris, you've gone red! LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteYour kitties are so cute! I wish I could have been there too, but I was definitely having a blast in Seattle!
