VIRGINIA SCRAPPERS November 2010
Posted By drsao on November 27, 2010
Five of us – Catherine, Catherine, Vonnie, Joanne and sao had some good quiet (sometimes) relaxing fun doing our creative projects and laughing all the way!
Vonnie was working on a fabulous baby afghan – I just have to get this pattern!
Catherine SB made great progress on her four patches for a later project and shared a new handbag – Joanne finished binding a quilt – and Catherine E worked on her precious SCOTTY pillowcases! I had a great time BINDING except for having an intense (sometimes painful) reoccurring craving for dark chocolate!!
WHY? Well………CATHERINE offered me a bit of dark chocolate – and not just ANY CHOCOLATE but a LADY GODIVA DARK CHOCOLATE WITH MINT….only to find out that she had filled the EMPTY TIN with her beads. Her Scotty Pillowcases look great with the beads sewn on – however we were both a bit surprised that the CANDY WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!
Another “FUNNY” thing happened today. A woman from the church was working in the kitchen and when I walked through she asked if she could help.
I said that I was looking for the SODA MACHINE (and she said they didn’t have one but she didn’t live far and she could go home and get one for me – but it only did straight stitching!)
She thought I has asked for a SEWING MACHINE. After I stopped laughing and explained that I wanted a SODA MACHINE….she laughed too and admitted that she thought I was a bit STRANGE for coming to a sew day and asking for a sewing machine!!!!! :):)
My big accomplishment is that I EMPTIED MY BINDING CHAIR (except for my Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt and Catherine said that I didn’t have to count it because binding that was an entire other project!!!!)
MY BINDING CHAIR IS EMPTY – and that was one of my goals for 2010. MY BINDING CHAIR IS EMPTY!!!!!! Sorry, I just have to say it one more time because it is a great accomplishment – MY BINDING CHAIR IS EMPTY. I was going to take a picture of it but decided you could take my word for it!
Today I finished binding my Scrappy Chiclet Quilt and a 30’s BABY QUILT to be donated to the JOHNSTON WILLIS ICU.
We missed our friends today who were still out eating turkey, visiting with family, shopping or engaging in other activities! Next month we meet December 18th!
