Scrappers and Knitters had a HAPPY SATURDAY August 2010
Posted By drsao on August 29, 2010
The VA Scrappers and a couple of renegade knitters enjoyed Saturday chatting, sewing, eating, knitting, looking at pattern books, taking pictures and the best part – ta da – laughing! Sheddy came in from PA to entertain us with her new adventures in Florida. Who knows, MAYBE one day I will be posting pictures of our FLORIDA QUILTING RETREAT – well, maybe we will have a GARDENING OR BAKING RETREAT since those are REALLY Sheddy’s favorite hobbies! Yes, Sheddy was with us even though there are no pictures to substantiate my claim!
One of the reasons this was such a good day was that Catherine brought my Colonial Piecemaker’s Challenge Quilt in with the binding finished!!!! I was expecting to sew the binding on as one of my projects and while we had breakfast together I was lamenting that I had neglected to pack the correct color of thread. Catherine never let on that I wouldn’t NEED the thread! You can’t imagine how happy I was – and Catherine even added a little embellished bow train with the excess binding. I just love those extra touches that only the queen of embellishment can create.
Actually Saturday was a little bit like Christmas because Catherine brought me cat fabric from the Colonial Williamsburg white elephant table and the ATCs from July that I missed while I was in Missouri……and there was even some of my FAVORITE HOT TAMALES GUM IN THE BAG!
It was a happy day for sure AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I FINISHED BINDING ONE QUILT AND ALMOST FINISHED A SECOND ONE! The day was perfect – except we REALLY DID miss those who weren’t with us!
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
