Sewing Circle Meets Again

The Sewing Circle at my Church met again.
There were two quilts being worked on.  This one was getting put together.
This quilt already has the two layers with batting in between and is being pinned.   I like this one.  I like the center squares and the plaid for the backing.  Who knows where the blue fabric came from.  It has long rows of Pin tucking  on it.
Close up of a square.  Four smaller squares of fabric were sewn into a larger square and then little  square was appliqued in the center.
The three layers are tied together with knots.  I am one of the knot tiers!
The smaller children's quilts will be taken on overseas mission trips.  These will probably be given to the homeless here in Baton Rouge.

The Bible lesson was about God's grace as He forgives our sins and gives us a second (and third, and fourth, and....etc) chance.   And we are to think about just what we are doing with the second chance He has given us.  There was more than that to the lesson, but I am left with the thought about what am I doing with my own second chance?

Sewing Circle at Christmas time


Milk Punch - it's a Southern thing!
We had yummy food and drinks.
 
We exchanged fun gifts - many were home made.
We enjoyed the company!
A few stitched while visiting!

Working Shadow Embroidery on her Dagyown.

Her tiny stitches amaze me.
Carol is now working on a carpet for her Doll house.   One of these days I am going to visit her Grandaughter to see this Doll House!


I can't tell you what this is until after Christmas!
There was no show and tell today except the projects we were working on.  Just good company.
It was a fun day!
