BYC SEWING/QUILTING CLUB

Date sort Score sort
Ok, so do y'all remember a little while ago when I was searching for my quilt blocks from our wedding so I could start on our quilt? I found them tonight!!!

I have no idea how I missed them before... I basically emptied all of my totes searching for them! Then I came across them tonight when I was searching for some of the fabric for my sister's wedding gift (I gotta start planning that project!). So, of course, now that I found them, I can't spend the time on our quilt, but now I can put them someplace safe (the hutch over my desk - now you all know in case I forget where they are again) until I can work on it.

So do you guys do anything other than quilt?

Sewing clothes was how I started back in 7th grade home economics (do they still have that in public schools?) I got into quilting later in life (okay a year or two, maybe) but I still make more clothes than quilt except for the last couple years when I've done practically nothing. I MUST get back to it but now I feel rusty!
 
I like to sew my daughters skirts ( I have 3) I have, in the past, sewn together co-ordinating shirts, I have done the old fashioned girls/ladies bloomers, I have done all 4 different sizes of quilts, pot holders, placemats, dinner napkins, etc. etc.

Now that I think back.....I worked for Walker Shoe Company in Asheboro, NC and there I sewn cowboy boots together, so I guess you can say that I have pratically just about sewn it all. hehe

Somehow flannel night shirts seem to have become my specialty. I started making my own because they were never long enough (heck,that's why I made most of my clothes, when I was a teenager there was nothing out there long enough for me!). Since then I've made several for both sisters, one BIL, DH and my mom. Now mine have worn out and I've had to make more. But my older sister loves hers so much she wears them at night then changes into something else to sleep in!

I've made one quilt out of some flannel scraps. Now that is WARM!
