Mini-retreat at my house

My best quilting buddy and her husband spent the weekend with us and the guys played golf both days, so we had to amuse ourselves. We went to the LQS and Hobby Lobby on Saturday (and I ended up with about 22 yards of new fabric....I don't get to either store more than twice a year...) and so Sunday decided to see what we could get done in one day.

I had a bunch of leftover fabric from baby quilts, so we decided to make two baby quilts, one for Tiny Stitches in Atlanta and one for Project Linus.

Here's the result:

Now that I have two machines, we traded back and forth all day, so we both ended up doing some piecing, some quilting, some binding, some ironing.

It was great fun, and we finished in time for the guys to take us out for some fantastic Italian food!

I had never done anything like that before, and I loved it.

What fun! How wonderful. I'm so glad you were able to give us a close-up of the first quilt. When I saw it, I wondered 'what IS that stuff?' Really made me smile to see that it was sock monkeys. Precious quilts and weekend. Happy for you. Polly

A few of my favorite quilting activities are: cruising the LQS with a friend, playing in the sewing room with a quilting buddy, and most of all, to make quilts for people in need! Lucky you, to do all that in one weekend. You and your pal did real well. My fav is the monkey quilt. PAT in VA/USA
