We had a great time this past Saturday showing what we learned from the Quilting Expo the week before.  I wish I had taken pictures of all the pretty things that Margaret and Karen made.  I only made one major thing which was the footstool, and I totally loved my course.
Just wanted to share our accomplishments this past Saturday.

Special thanks to Sandy for bringing baby blanket, and also for Lisa for bringing the baby blankets the Debbie contributed to the shelter this month.  It takes all of us to make the good things we do happen!!!
We got a lot of sets in the start mode for next month, so I think we will make lots of progress next month too.
Next month we will need to change our date again.  It will be April 1st, the first Saturday of the month.  Please make your calendars because we would love to have you there!!

Wow … what a way to start the year!!  I hope this is the way the rest of the year goes … we had 16 Crafty Weasels Saturday.  It was a bit of a zoo … but I think we all enjoyed it.  There was a bit of a surprising me for my Birthday that made me feel so special, and loved it totally blew me away!  We have a new process to make the hammies and sleepsacks so we are still learning the ropes, so we didn’t get as much completed as usual, but we have a bunch in the process that will be ready for us next month.

Each Crafty Weasel Sewing day if different and this month still holds true.   Yes, we try to get as much accomplished and have lots of fun doing it … but this Saturday we really kicked it into top gear.  We’ve had a special request, which also meant that we have lots of similar things to do, which actually make our process faster.

Sandy doesn’t get to come very often, but she came and brought with her bags of bedding that she accomplished all by herself at home.  Her list is as follows:

PennyButton Hammies – 24

Wonton Flower – 13

FN Sleepsacks – 10

(and we just have final stitching and sewing of 10 more FN Hammies form her)

Attendee:

We will be having sew day on October 1st, the first Saturday next month.  Please mark your calendars so you don’t miss sew day.  Hope to see everyone there!
