sew-ins are my happy place

We had a sew-in at the clubhouse at my condo a couple of months ago and it was SO much fun!!! 13 lovely ladies and I spent the whole day chatting and eating and LAUGHING and oh yeah, we did some sewing too. :)

There was homemade bread, casseroles, macaroni and cheese, lasagna, etc. etc. etc.! Plus more snacky foods than your average 7-11.

Speaking of candy, the eye candy at the sew-in was AMAZING!!! Everyone was working on such pretty projects.

Here's Kimbo working on her scrappy trip along quilt, featuring some super pretty Tula Pink fabrics.

Alison worked on a super fantastic quilt with fabric from Crimson Tate.

 

Alli finished this quilt top and another! Amazing.

Nancy basted this super cute quilt for her son.

And so much more!

We all had SUCH a great time together; it was so nice to spend the day with like minded ladies. Not just because we're all crafty, but everyone really encouraged each other, helped each other and were just generally kind, amazing folks to spend the day with. It was fan-freaking-tastic.

Thanks so much to all of the lovely ladies who came to play!!! Also, a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to Crimson Tate and Sewn Studio. They came out of nowhere and provided such an amazingly generous amount of give-aways for the event that everyone was able to go home with a present. Seriously, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. :)
