July 5th NICU Charity Sew Day

Unbelievable that I caught up all my pictures today! Another check off the to-do list!

We had a really good time sewing quilts for the local NICU unit at VCU Medical Center. We used patterns from Michelle's Romantic Tangle and some people used their own patterns.

A note on Michelle's Romantic Tangle. Her blog is a fun read anyway but she is really supporting making baby quilts. I hope you'll check her out!

I also owe a big thanks to AF&AM Manchester Lodge #14 for the use of their wonderful space!

You will see quilts more than once on this slideshow because no less than 3 people touched each quilt. Some cut, some sewed, some pressed, some quilted and some bound. I don't think anything in this slideshow was completed by just one person. I felt it was - and is - a labor of love. We're still quilting and binding. We hopefully can set up another day in October to do this again!

We made 11 quilts on July 5th. Some are out for their first wash and will be given to the NICU unit already!

Okay! Caught up on our Little Women Group! Whew! July was such a fun meeting. We had Celestia's Lancaster adventures and the story of the wonderful unicorn she made for her sister. We were all in awe of the workmanship! There are a lot of baby quilts in this group from our charity sew day on July 5th. I will work on those photos and upload them later - might not mean today! Enjoy these wonderful ladies!!

April Flowers at Our House

We love our dogwood tree. We planted it many years ago and it's amazing how big it has gotten. Troy planted some tulips in the fall and they were beautiful!

April 2014 Little Women

I have not been here in so long! I lost my mojo for quilting for a little bit but am recovering! With that, I do have pictures of groups that kept feeding my soul and got me back on track! I hope you enjoy the creativity of these women. They are all so talented and add so much to my life!

2014 Beach Retreat

We had the best time at the retreat! We had snow - FINALLY!! - at the beach. I ran around the deck catching snow in my mouth to see if it tasted salty. It did a little bit! It was a wonderful gathering of friends and, as usual, we all helped each other get out of jams. We shared sewing techniques and experiences. That makes us all better seamstress. I can't wait to do it again in 2015! However, in 2015, I will make sure I don't delete some of the pictures. I don't have pictures here that were on the camera. It's a new camera and I didn't get everything transferred to my computer and deleted many pictures. Enjoy the pictures I did manage to keep!
