<\/a>The workspace was good. SueS has a very open plan kitchen, so we were able to set up a cutting station on her kitchen island. A few of us worked on the kitchen table.<\/p>\n
Tim, Sue and I worked there. Sue worked quite a bit on EQ8 as she is working on a project. She also worked on a Mariner’s Compass quilt that she wanted to finish up. It was all foundation paper pieced on a special printed interfacing. I didn’t hear the brand, but I did hear a discussion of the Midi<\/a> and Mondo<\/a> bags. It was similar to this QuiltSmart pattern\/kit<\/a>**, but is actually from a company called EZ Piecing. The pattern is called Ruby’s Star<\/a>. SueS made it her own with an added border from the same company.<\/p>\n Tim was working on something with strips. It is called the Dreamlines Project<\/a>. I missed getting a photo, but it looked very cool.<\/p>\n I started with sewing a pet bed<\/a> together. I also worked on some Cotton Candy pouches and a block for the Wrap the World in Quilts Sunflower block Ukraine project<\/a> organized for the guild by Lee Ann.<\/p>\n I decided making this block would be a good use of my time at Sew Day. I went searching for block ideas and found a similar one to this one. I made it because I love Sawtooth Stars and I thought I could make it quickly.<\/p>\n In general, I like the block. I am not 100% happy with my sewing of the block, however. EQ did not print out the instructions for the center and I cut it too large. I ended up cutting off more of the yellow corners than I wanted when I trimmed the center. It isn’t terrible and will work for the project. I may make another one just to make myself feel better. You can make a similar block using my pattern<\/a>. It works with scraps, except maybe for the center.<\/p>\n The living room gang were laughing up a storm the whole time.<\/p>\n Julie talked about her work on her blog<\/a> the other day. I love the shapes she is making.<\/p>\n Maria picked up work on a quilt from a Libs Elliot class. I didn’t see what Joelle was working on before she left. I’m sure it was great.<\/p>\n Of course, we had plenty of food. \ud83d\ude09 I made a lemon pound cake. Carrie made some of her excellent chocolate chip cookies. There were chips and banana bread and all sorts of things. Even some fruit!<\/p>\n It was a great day and I really wish I could spend every day sewing with friends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n **N.

I was deputized to get there early as the hostess ended up having an appointment that day. I got there super early as traffic wasn’t bad, so I had time to stop at the GF bakery near SueS’ house.
