Quilting Bee #1



Here are Lisa and her sister, Suzanne (foreground) zippin' up those strips on their sewing machines. You can see my "bluesy" project on the middle left.

Lisa has the perfect spot in her basement for the three of us to work at one time - we're going to see how far we get this week!

We are aided here by coffee laced with "Mommy's Helper"........what could that be?







Lisa has chosen some nice blacks, pinks, and greens for her project. By tomorrow they should be in squares......













Suzanne won a jelly roll at her local quilting store and is creating her quilt with these warm-colored strips - a perfect match for her living room.













Each of us has a different approach. Lisa, organizer extraordinaire, carefully laid out her original strips, organized them carefully, and then started sewing. I organized mine somewhat before the machine starting humming, and Suzanne quickly glanced at her strips and started into it. I wonder who will finish first??
