Birthday Sew In!!

Hello Everyone,

This past weekend was my birthday weekend and I wanted to have some fun with friends.  So I held two sew ins at my studio!  One on Friday and one on Saturday, we had cake and fabric giveaways.

But the best part was seeing what everyone was working on!  That is my absolute favorite thing... such inspiration.

Roberta was working on several projects.  This one is Crackers.  She bought the kit from my shop and it is looking fantastic. This is the Red Hot version. You can find the kit and/or pattern by clicking here.

Fran was working on this lovely!  She will be entering it in the Flights and Fantasies Quilt Show in September.  I am anxious to see this one done!

This is another that Roberta was working on... I thought this was very unusual and beautiful.

This beautiful pink and green quilt was being quilted.  My favorite colors.

I was working on putting my borders on my Mariner's Compass quilt.  The borders are done!  Now to attach them!!  If you would like to take this class with me, just click here for the information.

Leslie was working on this.  These were put together with 2.5 inch strips.  I can't wait to see this one finished.

Karen was working on this cute appliqué project.  Two of my favorites here... Kaffe and Black and White.

Cherie was putting her Stepping Stones together.  She used Story Strips that she got from my online shop.  She took the class with me.  The strips can be found here and the pattern here.

Deb was working on Color Boxes!! This is a kit we have put together.  It is all Kaffe Fassett fabrics and black and whites.  Wait until you see the final photo!  

You can find the pattern and kit here.

All and all it was a fantastic weekend!!

Until Next Time...

Hello Everyone,

As many of you know, I have open sew days at my studio.  These are days when you can come and work on whatever projects that you happen to be making at the time.  I love these days because I get to sew too!  But I always love what the others bring along.  

They are always different and constantly inspiring!!  Here are a few from Wind It Up Wednesday.

Nancy's bed quilt... borders in progress.

Sabrina laying out her wheels. Too fun!!

Leslie's mini Schlep bag made all from Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

Nancy's quilt with borders on... it is HUGE!!

Leslie finished a Yellow Brick Road quilt.

Now I must tell you there were quite a few more photos, but the quilts were to be given as gifts and or not to be revealed yet.  Therefore, I could not post them here per request of the quilter.  But trust me there was definitely LOTS more inspiration.

What inspires you?  Leave me a comment to let me know.
