Sewing Day at Our House

I'm feeling grateful for all the ladies that came to our house today to help sew blocks for a quilt top for our Magnolia Sewing Circle.

This vintage feed sack fabric has been on the shelves for years. It was high time to use it up.

Emma was here all the way from Indiana. I learned that she loves to sew quilt and comfort tops for charity. She spends hours and hours in her sewing room most days.

Rosanna and Jolita. Jolita also fix lunch for everyone and cleaned up afterward.

An after school snack of apples with peanut butter and melted chocolate.

Chrystal was one of my piano students many years ago. By request she's brushing up on "I Heard a Sound of Voices..... around the great white throne."

Magnolia's Annual Guest Day Sewing

Each year in November our Magnolia Mennonite Sewing Circle has a special Guest Day Sewing.

I'm guessing we had a record breaker this year with around 70 adults and 50 children in attendance. 
 Some tied quilts while ...
 ... others wrapped Christmas Bundles for the Olive Branch Mission in Cherry Creek, SD.
Most of the children played outside but a few found their way to the coloring table. 
 This top was started at last years Guest Day Sewing and now it's being tied.

The ladies at this table made young girls dresses for Shining Light Children's Home in Mexico. 
The sun was setting when I arrived home.

I helped with the ‘string quilt’ project. We started this quilt last year. You can read about it HERE.

Some of the blocks ended up smaller, so we decided to make two separate quilts.

Thelma made 4 string blocks at home for the beginning of another “String quilt.” The same 4 blocks look different depending which color you turn toward the center.
