Rotogravure...

 Recently, I took a class at My Girlfriend's Attic where we were making the blocks from the pattern, Rotogravure...It has 16 blocks total with labor intensive sashings and is a great fall quilt...
 When our time was over, I actually thought about taking pictures and documenting this fun day we spent together...that's pretty much my life lately--day late, dollar short...however, I did manage to snap a few pictures on my way out...
 We had a total of 12 people participating, so we each made 12 blocks and will exchange with one another...I haven't picked up my exchange blocks yet...I will make the remaining 4 blocks on my own for a complete quilt...
 Another fabulous block...I really enjoyed seeing what people put together as far as fabric and I loved every one of them...
 All the ladies that came were delightful and we really enjoyed each other's company!!!
 We joked and laughed and visited the time away and managed to work in some sewing as well...the joke was that we were sewing in a sweat shop as these blocks were extremely labor intensive...
 It took place at one of my favorite meeting places...My Girlfriend's Attic...more pictures to come when I get my exchange blocks...
Last but not least is my handsome little grandson who recently turned 1.  He is such a good little boy and so fun and as you can see, really gets into eating...he gets that from Grandma...I love food!!!

Friendship block exchange...



Our Patchwork Friends Quilt Guild met on Wednesday evening and those participating in the friendship block exchange traded out their blocks. The theme: School house blocks with a 6" block in the right hand corner. Rules included using turkey reds or browns for the houses and using civil war fabrics. The blocks turned out really cute!!


I got so busy with various other things going on in my life and had to drop out of the exchange. I really like how they turned out. This was a difficult undertaking as the piecing was difficult but the end result looks great!








It was fun to see everyone's creative take on their 6" block insert. We have a lot of creative minds in our group....Stay tuned for show and share and a trunk show...
