An Old Fashion Sewing Bee ...

Ok so really when was the last time you participated in an old fashion sewing bee??? For me - never. Don't get me wrong I have my "Quilty Gal Pals" over Monday night and we sit and quilt but always on our own little projects. It's really more of a social night than a sewing night - but we do get a few things accomplished!

Last Saturday my guild had an old fashion sewing bee! You see my Quilty Gal Pal  Diana and I are in charge of the guild's raffle quilt for our Sept show! Yes we are running a bit behind but wait till you see the quilt! It's awesome!  

I brought it to sit and sew and had seven ladies all take a space around the quilt and work on the embellishing of the some of the crazy square blocks!

 


I had so much fun to sitting around and focusing
on one project with a bunch of "Quilty Gal Pals"

That's what I love most about quilting -
it brings women together to form lasting friendships.

Right now the crazy quilt is on my dining room table -
everytime I walk by I stop and add a few more embellishments!
It's addictive! I keep saying "Oh what's one more bead or flower or ribbon"!!
I've decided I'm a compulsive embellisher!!!
