Sewing Saturday (on a Sunday) w/ MQG

January 11th, 2010

I am still bubbling with excitement, so I am not sure where to start! Yesterday I did the most indulgent thing I have done in… I don’t know how long! “My” modern quilt guild had its first ever Saturday Sit and Sew!!… but it was on a Sunday this first time because of scheduling conflicts. SIX hours of sewing, people! Not that I actually sewed for the six hours, nor did I exactly show up on time… damn blue dot on my iPhone almost got me lost for REAL! BUT to be in a room with ACTUAL people that sew, and have similar taste in fabric and style!! MIRACLE, I tell you!

When I started sewing a couple years ago I thought I was just going to be that crazy young-ish women who sews and quilts alone and has make-believe friends online. I was ok with it actually, so I am just tickled to have found such an easy going, welcoming, corky, and excited group of women to get to know as friends!!

I was sorta too busy chatting and reveling in being away from kids and home WITH my sewing machine that I didn’t get too many pics of us all, I got my camera out a bit late. But here are a few (click to see them larger and to scroll through). OH, and did I mention, I even went out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner afterward? I TOLD you, indulgent! Thank you Chris, Pat & Wendy for a simply relaxing evening!

Here is what I worked on… I feel like I could have gotten more accomplished, but I did do a good amount of stippling. Perhaps more sewing, less talking next time… maybe– maybe not!

You make me laugh, I read this to my co-workers and we laughed out loud…”When I started sewing a couple years ago I thought I was just going to be that crazy young-ish women who sews and quilts alone and has make-believe friends online.” I think they laughed because that is me :( haha
