It's Rather Bee Night!

Yeah! Don't you love your sewing friends?! Tuesday nights is when one of my smallg groups, The Rather Bees, get together. We have some quilters, some punchers, some knitters and some gabbers! It is a very relaxed group and we have lots of fun together.

One of the gals found a unique pair of scissors at a yard sale. Do any of you know the purpose of the extra finger holes?

The only thing we can think of is that it might make it more comfortable to hold them.

Do any of you know if these had a specific use?

Ok! Back to gabbing I go! Gotta catch up with my buds!

Take care,

Missie

Where Will It All Fit?!?

Oh My! Have you ever decided to TOTALLY rearrange your sewing room?!? I am wondering where it all came from and how in the world will it all fit back in! Oh My! This picture is the smallest pile of "junk" in my room right now!

I recently purchased a Hinty Frame for a longarm and need to make room for this new piece in my sewing room. Thank goodness my "studio" is located in our large open basement and there is room to expand! But, I am wondering how I will reorganize at this point. We worked late into the night and DH helped set up the frame. That's in place now at the end of the room where my sewing table used to be. I'd share a picture, but there isn't much to show except for long empty poles! I sold my tabletop model quilting machine and it's already with it's new owner. My new quilting machine with handle controls is on order, so I'll make do without it for a few months until the new one comes. I am sticking with the same model I had before, the Sunshine 16, but as I mentioned, this one will have handle controls.

Anyway, back to my big mess! I did manage to get what used to be a messy crammed full shelf to look pretty nice before I went to bed! I know I will do some more rearranging of what's on the shelves, but at least I made some progress! Don't you wonder what we're thinking when we get all this "stuff"?!?

Julie of Me and My Stitches came over to spend the day yesterday! She was in town to go to a concert last night and arrived early to come play with me! It's so fun to play sewing with girlfriends! Haha! We had a relaxed day chatting and she prepped some wool appliqué while I started cleaning out one of my fabric cabinets. I managed to get rid of two large bags of fabric that I don't think I'll be using. That fabric is going to the guild to let someone else give it some love!

My sewing machine of 22 years is growing too old to show me what stitch I am choosing, so I am off to get a new model today. I know there has been so much improvement over the years and I'm so excited! I'll post a pic when I return with the new member of my sewing room family!

Have a great weekend,

Take care,

Missie

Lee's Summit Quilt Show

It was a grand time in the KC area during the Lee's Summit Quilt Show! Pretty quilts at the show! Nice women to help us in our vending area! My friend Geri came along to help and we had the best time!

There are lots of new punch needle lovers in KC!

And there are lots of wool and appliqué lovers too!

We had a great time chatting and talking English Paper Piecing. I love talking with other quilters! These are my English Paper Piecing Pincushion Patterns and samples. They are a great way to try out English Paper Piecing.

We met with my college friends for dinner and got all caught up on our lives since we last saw each other. These are the best buddies a girl could ever have! Isn't it great to see old friends and pick up right where you left off?!? Geri had great patience listening to all of our rumblings about our past together. Good food and good friends old and new...you can't beat that!

Right before I left town I fixed up the quilt ladder my Dad made for me. We've stained and varnished it since I last posted about it. I've put some of my favorite quilts on it. These are designed by others as it is easier to have mine packed and ready for the next outing. You can also see my window treatments pretty well in this picture. It is usually difficult to get a good picture, but it looks like my new camera did pretty good for me! Yeah!

It sure was a fun weekend in KC. I can't thank Geri enough for helping me! Thank You Thank You Geri!

Have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by!

Take care,

Missie
