Love it. When my SIL comes for Thanksgiving, as soon as we clear the dining room table - we have our own personal sweat shop! LOL No Black Friday shopping for us! Last Thanksgiving we finished 8 quilts, some that were started and some from scratch!! Now if I could just get her to stay longer!!!!!

OH! what a great day you all must have had, I remember my Mother's quilting days with the neighbor ladies. they talked as fast as they quilted. Farm ladies didn't have much time to waste, so the get together's were a treat/retreat for them. all of us kids liked it also lots of play time .
to bad they didn't have cameras as we do today for such loving memories to be recorded . thanks for sharing.

Nothing better that sewing with girlfriends. And aren't you a dear to give these friends such a gift. I hope this becomes a regular event for you all. It's what I would call a "win, win gift". Enjoy!

What a great way to get together with friends and be productive at the same time. How nice that your friend has you to teach her to quilt as a way of working through her grief. I've found quilting to be therapeutic for me, it helps me through the tough time.

Tess, how wonderful of you to have a mini retreat for your friend. I'm sure it was a great comfort. And it's nice to see you!

Looks like a fun time for all...I would love to do that but don't know many people here that sew or have an interest in sewing...

What fun! So good of you to help this friend, as a widow myself, I know how much it means to have hobbies, and keep yourself busy! God Bless You!
