Sewcial in Hopewell - pics!
We all had a great time sewing together at the Hopewell Train Station earlier this month! We try to hold an informal sewcial every month - sometimes at a public place, sometimes at a volunteer member's home. If you know of a place near you that would accommodate a slew of us for a weekend day (at a low cost), feel free to email me!
Some of our members were working on their blocks for our guild's Block of the Month (BOM) - see here for more information.
Amy was working on a bag - Elizabeth Hartman's Sewing Circle Tote! It is sooo pretty - you have to see this in person!
Michelle and Beth working hard!
Jess actually made this block, too... silly Robin. :)
Kathleen and I were both making quilts with Laurie Wisbrun's Brr! Kathleen was quilting all day.
Lori was making a scrappy trip along. Awesome! Can't wait to see this one.

Krishma just spruced up/remodeled this 1908 Singer! It's absolutely gorgeous!
Random pressing table picture. :)
Sonia was finishing up her amazing solids (and like solids) quilt top!
Alison got so much done. We were all in awe!
Welcome to one of our newest members, Kim!
Miggie was hard at work all day, too!
Carol busy cutting.
Neva was my table partner :) She was doing an awful lot of paper piecing!
Guess I shouldn't always stay behind the camera :) Thanks for the picture, Lori!
Please join us next time!
