A Sunny Moment in January!

-
January is a funny month. We have made and maybe broken our New Year's Resolutions, it has been really cold, it has been rainy and snowy and sometimes pretty warm and sunny.

It is a great month to spend stitching with friends. It is a wonderful month for hot spicy soup and nights with  warmth from a fireplace and maybe hot chocolate. 

We have been sewing a lot of new things and some of us are finishing projects that we started some time ago.

These pictures will be a variety of projects done in several different classes.

This in a Maggie Bononami pattern nicely done by Barb


This is also a Maggie B pattern being stitched by Nancy.


This is a pattern design by Sue Sparge and beautifully done by Marcie.


One cute kitty by Karla


Cindy has done this Sue Spargo design in record time. It is spectacular.


This is the back and I'm proud to say I dyed most of the wool


Sue Spargo again, this time done by Marlene.



This beautiful Clothespin bag was made by Susan. It is called a "ditty bag" and has been cross stitched.




Judy is working on a Maggie B pattern and this is just the first of many blocks. It will be quite large when finished.


Sharon is working on this beautiful table mat.


We had a penny rug class and some of us bought kits from

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
