These girls and Tanner my grandson loved having such a great time in the new quilt room.
This is Emma. She is ten years old and loves to sew. She was busy sewing 4 patches to go with Lizzy's quilt.
This is Chelsi working on the pink 9 patch quilt.
This is Laura, mother of Emma, and she is working with Chelsi on the pink 9 patch. They were the last ones working in the afternoon because they wanted to finish this top. They did accomplish their goal and now this top needs borders and then it will be ready for me to quilt.
This is Tanner and he is working on a scrap patch quilt that I had started a few days before the retreat. He really enjoys sewing on the machine.He does a great job.
This is Lizzy and I caught her pressing again. She was very busy with her 4 patch quilt and with Emma's help was able to make good progress.
This is Melanie, mother of Lizzy and Tanner. She is working on a string quilt. I started these a week or so ago. They are being sewed to used dryer sheets and the sheets will not need to be torn out like paper has to be. I wanted to try this method and Melanie really likes string piecing.
We had a quick break for lunch and the noise in the quilting room was very high. Lots of laughing and joking. They were talking about the kind of swearing that was allowed in the quilting room. Lizzy wrote them on the white board.
Lizzy has enjoyed writing on the white board. Here is a close up the the swearing rules.
This is my son Eli working on my old computer to see if I can get the Magic Box to work on my new laptop. I guess I will need to upgrade with it in order for it to work. The Magic Box is a converter for all file types to work with my embroidery machine. Eli spent allot of hours trying to make things work but you know computers, you always need to upgrade everything and it doesn't take long for your computer to be a dinosaur.
Well, this will be all I have for this week. Talk to you next week.
