Fiber Floozie sew-in

Saturday (1/31) was basically a Fiber Floozie sew-in all day at Janice's house

our hosts: Dennis & Janice, although Dennis
did his part by staying out of the way!

 

with Leila,

 

Leila with show and tell

 

& Mary Jo. 

 

 

We were all working on different projects...

more show & tell from BG

 

eating and laughing and having a wonderful time.  Janice has a huge dining room table, and that's where we all set up our machines.  She had a smaller table for cutting, an ironing board at the other end...and the kitchen island was filled with food  :~) 

 

Tara came by in the afternoon

and completed a neo-natal quilt top,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Karen B arrived for dinner. 

 

We finally raised a glass to Jeannie (missing Fiber Floozie!)

 

What a truly FABULOUS day!  BTW - I forgot to mention that BG really loved the 2 quilts I brought her, but I'm not going to quilt any more of her quilts until she comes for a visit (potentially May) when she can help to quilt them!

We were up at 7 again on Sunday (2/1) and after breakfast, BG put together crusty rye bread before we settled into sewing once again.  I have to admit, bringing all of my mile-a-minute scraps was a good thing to pack...but I am SO BORED doing them all at once!!!  It will be much, much better when I do a few at the end of every project.  But I was up to 119 squares completed (with only 469 more to go :~) before we settled in to watch the Super Bowl, with another smurfy dinner of ruebens, corned beef mac & cheese, and goats bites (sweet potato skins with goat cheese & olives).  It was an exciting game...and BG's team pulled it out in the end.  After that it was off to bed, as the snow began to fall once again.
