We started out just sticking the blocks to the design walls, and then we all started grabbing 5 that we liked... or some of the overachievers picked all 30 for their quilt top!!! I LOVED it ( and NO I was not the over achiever!)
Then we all sat down to sew, well except for me - I had the hair brained idea to start making backs for these quilts.... Check out this design wall - COOL huh?
We even got the pastor into sewing.... Just so you know - we figured him out... he acted like he didn't know much about quilting. But when you started asking him questions.... he knew.... I think he was tricky that way... everyone ironed for him, and labeled his blocks for him.... he had a good thing goin' on!!
This was our last design wall for the day - the total count for the day - 17 tops completed, 4 half way done ... 3 backs made ( ya I might talk a little too much -but in my defense they were pieced backs and I had to measure) 24 cupcakes eaten, and one happy birthday song sung....
What a fun day!!! I can't wait to see pictures of all those quilts!
ReplyDeleteWow--what fun and what a productive day. That's really neat that even the pastor was sewing. As soon as I move and can find stuff again.....I keep seeing things and thinking "that would make a great QOV".......
