Sewing With Frienzies

We met. We talked. We ate. We sewed.
This annual tradition of sewing on Veteran's Day is now well into its 20 year, maybe more. And it always such a good time. Without further ado, let's just look at the variety of projects.


Linda had a pretty good start on this Dresden Plate quilt made with Kaffe Fassett fabrics on black. Stunning! She worked on sewing the top together and then cutting out the vines which will border the entire quilt.


Sharon cannot pass up any opportunity to sew with KF fabrics, and has been working on this quilt called Seed Packet. Another stunning quilt, right?


And one more Kaffe quilt comes from Kay, the original KF fan of our group. Way, way back in 2007 (give or take), she began buying this gorgeous stuff, and has made many KF quilts in these intervening years. The one above is her project from Monday.


Our hostess Sherrie is always a step ahead; she worked on this heart table runner which she will need for a Valentine's Day charity. She was working with a charm pack and a jelly roll.

Pam had a whole lot of stuff going on, and I do not have a good picture here to fairly represent it. The appliqued blocks here were made by her husband's late aunt. Pam has taken possession of a sizeable fabric stash from this aunt and found many orphan blocks in the collection. I will be writing more about this in a future post.

I worked on back basting a panel for my Lake Effect quilt. I'd traced the design a few days earlier, then attached the blue on Sunday evening. I was able to do a good bit of back basting all day Monday, and feel quite back in the groove with this project.

A couple other Frienzies attended but did not sew. We missed Hettie, our only still-working girl (as in not retired; several of us have taken up jobs in our retirement!). A wonderful day, and an even more wonderful group of friends!

Short and sweet, because DH is taking me out for Mexican!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
