the after party...

After Lindsey's lunch, we went to Pine Needles to see what we could see...



A celebration

For Lindsey's birthday, we met at Archibalds for lunch.  Yummy food and great company.  Lindsey's mom came with us...what a treat. 

Rachel wanted to make a wall-hanging for her mom for her birthday. Lindsey has chickens, so the theme was decided on. Rachel and Halle bought the fabric and off Rachel went. She did SUCH a great job. This teacher is VERY proud. And, I think the birthday girl was very thrilled with the gift.

Can't wait for next year!!  

I'm so proud!!

I am so proud of my little Cluster Group. I taught them some very basic quilting techniques, and

LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!!!

 This is a project that the entire group is doing.  On the first class of the month we all work on the same project. 

sewing marathon!!

 I love this group!!  I love each and every one of these girls.  They are so fun to be around...they are always smiling...they are always eager to learn...they are THEE best.  The only person missing is Julie--and we missed her.

Another sewing night!!

Look what they've done!!

We were able to get together for a little sewing the day after Thanksgiving.  These girls worked their fingers to the bone!!  I'm SO proud of all of them.  They are learning their machines, learning new techniques, and creating one of a kind treasures. 

I'm so thankful for each of them.

 Look at the concentration on her face!!

 Julie's SO proud of herself, and her stitching!!  (me, too!!)

 Mollie is hypnotized in her sewing--she's doing those smiles like a pro!!

 Cute, cute Mollie and her Indian Boy! 

 Um...Julie, would you care to explain this??? 

 Happy dance!  SOOO cute.  Lots of work, and so proud of it!!

Caitlin's so happy with hers too!! 

Those smiles are what it's ALL about!!

The work must go on!!
