A little tour through the Sew and Sews group that meets on Tuesdays. Enjoy. So many Mini's from our R. These are playing card and post card size.
These fabrics are unused from the late 1800's as verified by a curator.
very mini doilies on a mini card, fabric rolls make a Christmas tree.
A paper pieced turkey.
Mini Alpine forest, a mini crazy quilt, a paper pieced chalet, and a mini doily on a pieced background.
can you believe how small these pieces are?
more amazing piecing and embroidery
the binding on this little tree is a zipper! Never one to disappoint, R. comes up with more and more beautiful little pieces of art.
LS chose a pre-printed Advent calendar to quilt and embroider with beads. The numbered days are each little pockets to fill with trinkets. The batting is 100 % wool roving. So cute.
L. is a busy lady with the crochet hooks lately. She has made prayer shawls and this little piece is a baby hat. It is red with a pom-pom. What a happy little baby this will be. She is also doing these in green.
Our most prolific recyclers and re-purpose is MJ. These blocks were unfinished pieces she picked up at our Three Rivers Quilters show last March. We have a flea market of sorts called Granny's Attic where any number of treasures can be found. While not certain of their final use, MJ will come up with something I am sure.
K. is working on a cross-stitch block. These star blocks are a very nice blue and white, sorry these did not photograph better. Her stitching is so nice. These will make a beautiful quilt.
This beautiful piece is done by M. Her piecing is beautiful and she has used a hand feather stitch around each block. It is more visible if you click on the photo the stitches more clearly. I should have taken a close-up.
BJ is making these cute little Christmas themed hearts. Embellished with buttons, they would make nice little ornaments although she says she doesn't have a final purpose yet. (?)
And now, last but not least is a sweet little baby quilt pieced, layered and pinned ready to be quilted by J. She has a sit-down long arm and does really nice work. I admit to machine envy. Mmmmm.
J. also made this crocheted prayer shawl for L.s project. The colors are lovely, nicer than they appear on this photo.
Well, that's all for now. Hope you enjoy this peek into our little weekly group projects. From itty-bitty quilts to large eight pointed stars we seek to share and learn from each other. We have some nice projects in the works for 2012 and I will share as we proceed. Have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. We have so much to be thankful for. I will be seeing family, old friends and some new.
Keep your enthusiasm for your art by joining a quilt guild or a neighborhood or church group. Or start one of your own. If you sew or quilt wear your art like a badge. Be proud of your skills and accomplishments.
Gratuity Moment: I was not born a turkey, metaphorically!

| J. to a class sponsored by TRQ last week. This eight pointed star has no Y seams. Her color choices are lovely. All seams are pressed open, rather than the traditional to the dark method. Now J. insists she does not do good work in class because she feels too rushed. I don't think I agree. I think it is beautiful! |
