Weekend at Girlfriends....

Last Friday and Saturday were spent at My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe in the Attic sewing with friends...I made these little matching bowling shirts for the grand babies...They wore them to church on Sunday...the pattern needs some adjustments and I need to add some width and length to the shirts as they were not as loose fitting and long as I would have liked...so we will try again... 
 My postage stamp stars...This has been a WIP for a couple of years.  This quilt top is especially scrappy and I added the pink strips to break up the scrappiness and add some interest.  I love how it added so much.  Just need to add a narrow border to the top and bottom and large borders to the sides to make it approximately 90" square...
Grandson Cooper got puzzles for his birthday...the nice ones out of wood.  I made velcro bags for the 9" puzzle boards and pieces and drawstring bags for pieces to other puzzles.  It was a productive weekend...I need this about 2 x a week and then I might see more finishes...
