Taking a Day

It's been a long time since I sat at a sewing machine for more than 10 minutes.  Today we took a little break and turned the Sew Sisters studio into a mini retreat.  Karen was the hostess with the mostest, greeting me, Bonnie and Shelby with cinnamon buns hot out of the oven and coffee...always coffee.

Then we were off to sewing.  I had a little baby quilt that needs to be delivered this weekend so I knocked that out on the Beast first thing.

Then, I pieced blocks that have been waiting patiently for months and months.  By the end of the day I had them together in rows...one step closer.  Karen and Bonnie were both mad piecers all day..piecing things with a go-zillion pieces.

Karen had vegetable beef soup in the crockpot and yummy foccacia bread for lunch and I brought Dewey's cake squares for the 3:00 sugar/caffeine reload.

It's been a long time since the three of us have had a chance to get together.  Hopefully the next time will come sooner.  We needed a day to laugh and sew.

And Shelby...she slept, helped me lay out my quilt top and barked at Max (Karen's sweet monster lab) and was just glad to be hanging with the girls.
