First Time NEORQG

Today I attended my first ever meeting. I want to say I was very impressed with the organization and all the guilds . That is one great bunch of people. We had 4 members attend. They served us some breakfast food  then on to the meeting   had a challenge vote, show and tell and great speaker, Mary Huey. They served us lunch as well. The food was very good. Several guilds were there, and some did not make it. I plan on returning again  in June. The meeting places change from area to area which is nice. Gives everyone a chance to see other parts of north east Ohio. I did not take a camera so have no photos to share. Just a good time  for us all.

Great Day

Had great day today. Did some sewing . I have made a new outfit for Arsema. A very cute wrap dress by www.favoritethings.net It will be cute on her when the weather warms up. She is turning 1 year old soon,March 14th. My how this year has gone by so quickly.Her dad told me tonight she said Bye bye to him as he left for work today.So she is beginning to say words. Tomorrow is Saturday, hubby will go out to breakfast with the buddy of his. I will sleep in.Then get up and do the chores for me ,Might get in some grocery shopping tomorrow. My eyes are very tired and I need to get some rest.. In the meantime here is a picture or two of the cute outfit. I still need to put the waist elastic in . I have to buy it as I do not have the size even close the one I need. This dress is reversible and so is the hat. have a great evening and will chat again real soon thanks for coming by my place today. I so enjoy the company!

A Rustic Retreat

Started a new quilt for my daughter, Michelle. It is called Rustic Retreat. I did not have the panel they used but I did have some fabric with an all over print of her favorite animal the MOOSE.

So I used it in place of the panel. I fussy cut the squares and tonight I began sewing the other blocks in the quilt. There are stars and bear paw blocks. I have 5-6 of the stars made and one lonely bear paw in blue. I am posting the picture of the moose blocks and the pattern and then I will post what I got sewn tonight. So for the beginning here is the sewing I was able to do last night. The quilt behind it is one I made  last year or two years ago but only finished sewing the top together this past weekend. It is called Arrowhead and came out of a magazine I had . the two blocks on the far side are birthday blocks from a yahoo group I am in. I received two more of them today.

the picture below is the sewing I got done tonight. It shows one of the star blocks and then the quilt top as it is progressing. I have sewn one blue bear paw and there are 4 of them plus 8 green bear blocks to make yet. Anyway I am thrilled over it. Daughter came by tonight and she likes it! I was almost certain she would. Snow is still coming down  and we are going to get socked oh well we had a warm and friendly winter up until now HA HA. Stay warm all and thank you so very much for stopping by today . Hope to get more sewing in tomorrow. night for now
