Independence — The Quilting Girls!!!!!

When we decided to go to Independence, I told Erik "We HAVE to go over a Tuesday."

I'm suuuuuure Erik internally rolled his eyes. But I spent quite a bit of time with the ladies on Tuesday mornings.




We each made a quilt square .... which was fun.


This was mine .... a blue work square. :) I am currently "working" on my bluework quilt. I have about 2 more blocks to make ... then gotta piece it and quilt it. Yeah, it's been sitting in a box for 4 years. I have been a SLACKER on that front.


Erik took over the camera .....


I'm looking pretty un-stellar here. I think I was trying to figure out if I missed some stitches....


This little mint tin is where I keep my quilting thimble and needles. :)


Pearl and .... Rita, I think.


There's sort of a running joke about me and quilting. The ladies have snack time ... and let's just say I generally showed up right before snack time, would put a few stitches in .... and then have snack time, then have to go back to work. Evidently they STILL talk about it .... evidently, it's called "doing a Karen."


Here's Pat. She's just one of my favorites. I don't want to sound like a meanie by picking faves, but Pat is just a darling!


Check out this cute baby quilt the ladies did!


And of course, they put their tag on it.


Last few of the quilt I was working on. They used gold thread, which was difficult to see.


Pat's comment is she could always tell where I had been working because I quilt so evenly. Interesting comment. I denied it at first, but eventually, I guess she's right. :) I had to traced the stitches with a little line .... the stitches are just below the lines ... but it's a little tough to see. Just in case you care. ;)
