A good sized crew met yesterday at The Pin Cushion classroom for a VERY productive sewing day for Quilts of Valor. Four of us sewed pretty much steadily from 10 am to 3 pm - with a break for lunch of pizza provided by The Pin Cushion. Thank you Brenda!!
Another 4 ladies cut more block parts, pressed as the sewers needed, hand stitched a label, marked diagonal sewing lines and more. And we had a lot of fun. Thank you to Deb, Pam, Alice, Louise, Karen, ruby, and Janice. Many hands made light work.
And what did those many hands accomplish, in between the conversation?
- put together 1 complete quilt top (above) from 30 Patriotic Star blocks
- labeled one completed quilt
- bound another complete quilt (Louise took it home to do the hand stitching and the label)
- prepped another long length of binding for a future quilt
- cut the parts for LOTS more blocks after using up my few kits
- made 16 more Bento Box blocks
- made 12 or 14 more Patriotic Star blocks
So we are very close to having enough blocks for 2 more quilt tops.
