After class at OU-C this morning, I took my machine and my Erin's Diamonds quilt to Terry's house for a day of stitching with friends. Yesterday, I stitched with the Frienzies; today I was with the Frankfort girls. Tomorrow - yes, I have a date for tomorrow, too, but I will fill you in on that afterwards.
So, today, I had a great time with everyone. I managed to get all the remaining diagonal rows stitched together for Erin's quilt. I did not stop to press or sew rows together. My single focus was to finish the rows. Period.
Now I did do a fair amount of unsewing, if you know what I mean. Honestly, I could have accomplished so much more if I hadn't had to have the seam ripper in my hands so frequently! It was really confusing getting the side triangles onto the correct diamonds, and I made more than a few mistakes. But the rows are together now, and after I press them (carefully), I will begin attaching them. By tomorrow at this time, I hope to have the entire quilt top assembled.
The other girls were all busy on their various projects, and since I was so zeroed in on my own, I did not get many pics of things.
JoAnn is enrolled in a class at one of our local shops for the Mill Girls quilt. She was getting caught up with her blocks.
JoAnn also shared with us this sweet little spring/Easter wallhanging that she made last week.
Sheryll was making massive amounts of half-square triangles. She is starting a quilt that I have long admired called Autumn Flight by Primitive Gatherings. It looks spectacular; I will be sure to follow up on this as Sheryll progresses.
Sharon O. was having machine troubles, so she was doing menial work - trimming up things, straightening her sewing basket, and so on. No pics of her activities. *sad face*
Terry was working on a UFO from about 3 or 4 years ago. She was referring to this as a summer quilt, so I assume she plans on using it this summer on her bed. It is a pattern from the Spring/Summer 2007 issue of Quilt Sampler Magazine, called Rosy Chic.
One thing all of us did was enjoy Terry's active - and sometimes, hyperactive - pets. Here is the most hyper of all - Millie. Doesn't she look like she is posing for a doggie centerfold? This adorable pooch has personality plus, for sure.
Well, I need to be pressing my diagonal rows of diamonds. I have great hopes of completing this soon! Gotta' stay busy on it!
Happy Quilting, Friends!

| Chuck the cat looks right handsome against the colorful diamonds. He didn't seem to care that I was making mistakes, even with the quilt spread out on Terry's bed. |

Church the cat looks stunning on your bright triangle quilt, probably wonders "where have you been?" You get so much done when sewing with friends, seems like I do a lot of talking and unstitching.
