11 of Casey Quilters descended to the home of Helen, our hostess. I called from the driveway and said 'Am I here'? It was 8:45am. This beautiful home designed by Helen that looks like something taken out of 'House Beautiful'. The porch goes around 3 sides and beautiful greenery and flowers are everywhere. Pictures cannot really do the job. It felt like a home in the South and we should of had long flowing dresses on. A little sampling of the day follows: Also the picture in my header is on her porch.
A couple of flower gardens
Here are the gals and Kay, in the center, whose home we meet in twice a month, we were doing 'show and tell'. Tables were set for our machines, iron and cutting stations at the other end. It was our Christmas in July and our aim was to work on a project and get it done before the rush comes.
This was lunch and our very gracious hostess, Helen who had worked very hard to get ready for us. There are those people who do it but then there are those who love what they do and she is one of them and made us feel very special all day, always wanting to do something for us to make us more comfortable.
Helen set this beautiful table for our final meal together.
Whenever quilters get together there is always 'show and tell'. This was the project that Barb did for the day. The cutest little purse. She had a few things left to do but colors are vibrant and cheery.
Pam, who had worked on this block fo the month for about 2 years. You cannot see the detail but it was wonderful.
This was one of the blocks of 12. The birds in the sky, the fish net and all the buttonhole stitching.
Sherry who is known for her wonderful Christmas quilts and buttonhole stitch that she puts in all of them. This is her latest. She is still working on detail. Barb on the right is the one who did the purse above.
Sue who finished her fool around quilt. It will be one of 9 hanging together as a chapter challenge in the Maine Quilt show next week.
That was our day. I got home around 7:00pm and showered and went to bed. It was the most wonderful time for all of us. Great group of gals.....nothing like friends sharing the love of quilting.
