HAPPY DAY WITH HAPPY SCRAPPERS


 It was so wonderful today to get out of the house and spend the day with the Happy Scrappers at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Lots of talk and laughter and sewing.  We had some nice show-n-tell too.  Above Mary W. shows us one of the three quilts that she made for charity.  
 This is another quilt that Mary made for charity.  I love how she uses these wonderful 30s fabrics.  They are so soft and soothing.
 This is the back of her quilt.
 Mary also made this quilt for charity.  She has been very busy this past month.  
This is the back of the above quilt.  
Like I say, we had some laughter too.  Janalee, Cathy, and I got to talking about how many steps we had in so far that day.  Mary asked us questions, and I think we inspired her.  A little later I caught her walking through the shop.  She said she was getting her steps in.  She has a path through the shop that gets her 200 steps in each time she follows it. Wow! You go girl.
 Cathy had some show-n-tell too.  Above is her latest finish.  
This close-up allows you to see the quilting that she did herself.  Great job!
 During the day while Janalee, Mary, Diana and I worked away on sewing but not finishing anything, Cathy made this cute top.  And...
She got busy and made another one.  She said this one was too narrow and that she was going to put another row on it before quilting it. She also said she was going to donate these quilts to charity once they are quilted and bound. Way to go Cathy.

TAKING MARY'S ADVICE

Hello Quilters!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I had my great grandchild for a day, then went to his basketball game the next day, so I haven't had much time to sew.  However, I decided to take some advice from a recent blog post . It is about the Charity Group at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. I had been thinking about Mary's words that day, so I pulled out my tub of quilt tops.  After digging through the 17 tops, I decided to finish this one first and give it to charity.  It is small, 36" X 36", just the right size for a child.  And, I had the perfect backing for it, one that I thought a young child would like.

 I had two pieces of fabric that someone had donated to the Charity Group, so I sewed them together for the backing.  Aren't they cute!
The binding went on nicely too.  It is all sewn by machine.  I've been trying to increase my skills in that area.  Doesn't look too bad when you look at it from the back, which is usually where my problem is.  Don't forget, the Charity Group is always looking for quilts to donate.

MAKE THIS STUNNING PILLOW WITH DIANA!

While at the Attic Window Quilt Shop recently, I saw this beautiful pillow.  Mark your calendar now!  You too can make this stunning pillow with Diana.  She says that Prep day is March 30, and construction day is April 13.  Both dates are on Saturday.  Call the shop to register and get a supply list.
