The next day, we picked up where we left off...a little more tired but just as enthused. Cathy showed us a piece she is working on for her couch. It's beautiful and the colors really pop!
Another piece by Cathy (above). The full quilt came out blurry but this close-up shows the wonderful hand work she is doing in each block. I love hand stitching with a heavy thread...so effective and really makes a statement.
Kate showed us some of her books/journals she's working on for Art Mob Gallery in Hendersonville, NC. All of her journals are made from fabric she created herself...mighty pretty!
Georgia's grandson who is into music is getting this wonderful beauty. Georgia came with the panel, a stack of great black and whites and ideas for a design...Wow, she is speedy and amazing. It still needs to be quilted but it looks great and will be greatly appreciated I'm sure.
Mary made a darling I Spy for her great-niece...every little kiddo needs one of these, so cute and fun to play with.
Leigh Anne brought a quilt made for her mother-in-law which also has the cutest backing of cats! I would love that.
Our last afternoon, we played a game..it was a blast....we all brought 3 fat quarters (we didn't know what for). We were then given a blank Bingo sheet and another sheet with a long list of sewing/quilting terms. We were to randomly fill in the boxes...one in each box...many on the list were not used and everyone's board was different.
Our Bingo caller, called out terms and we checked off the ones we had. If we got Bingo we could go and take a fat quarter from someone's pile. There was more than one winner. First person to get all boxes filled ended the game and was gifted with 3 fat quarters.
Some great fat quarters....
Barbara picking her fat quarter.
A catered lunch...
