Time for tea....

Today is the first Wednesday of the month, so you know what that means - right? Yup, Tea Party Day. We had a full house today....thought we were going to run out of chairs. It was so much fun laughing, eating and laughing some more! We had some old timers and newcomers with lots of great projects and sharing going on. I know a couple of people will be clicking on the Fab-Etc website for Jan's wonderful scone recipe!

As promised, here is another picture of a fun Valentine-y project. This is a double Irish Chain from the Possibilities book "Time For A Chain II". It 's a revision of their first book, that I actually used to make this quilt. One of the great things about the book is that it tells you which way to press your seams as you sew and then voila - everything "nests" so nicely together without having to re-press anything! (I get teased a lot because I like to press my seams open....for the most part, it's really 'cause I am too lazy to figure out the best way to press and then always have to go back and re-press my seams.) Anyway, you need to look and see the gorgeous quilting job that Betsy from Nautilus Longarm Quilting did - she made me look really good!

Well, the napkins and tablecloths from the tea are in the laundry and ready for the dryer. Hope your week is going great. We're working hard on our Tri-County Quilt Merchants "Sky's The Limit" quilt for March. And of course, playing with other things whenever we get the chance! Have a great evening!
