Just A Little Quilt Talk

"The Group"

It's that time of year! Back to school means back to serious quilting with my friends. I have a quilt group that I just LOVE. There are about 12 of us that share the same love of quilting. They are seriously the funnest group of ladies....we have so much fun together. We are always trying to come up with reasons to get together to sew because we love each other's company.

Food a plenty

We try and meet once a month just to work on the various quilts we are trying to finish. All of us have a number of quilts that we have started, but have not finished. We all have too much fabric and too many patterns and not enough time. But then.....that's the point.

Today was our first get together since last June. We met at Debbie Jensen's house......we all were excited to preview her new kitchen. We were not disappointed. It was a fabulous re-model. Good job Deb. This get-together was especially fun because everybody worked hard over the summer to finish up some of the quilt projects they have been working on. We all kind of anticipated the "show and tell." We have some really talented ladies in our group. We are all jealous of each other's quilts and end up copying each other all the time. Of course we all gave each other the ooooo's and ahhhh's that were so deserving! Some great quilts were shown.

Kendall, one of the ladies in our group moved to Highland, Utah a year ago. She happened to be visiting in Mesa this week and came to visit with us for a little while. It was so fun to catch up on her life and have a few laughs. She had finished a "hand pieced" star quilt that a few of us are still working on. She is always a step ahead of all of us!

I have been getting together with these ladies for the last 2 or 3 years. Sewing, laughing, eating, traveling and a little gossip.....this quilt thing has become an addiction for all of us. I love the tedious work of piecing a quilt top. For some reason it is the most relaxing activity I can think of. It is satisfying when you start to sew your quilt together and it fits together perfectly! Hmmmmm there is nothing better. Following is a little quilt show!
