What Do You Do While Sewing Or Quilting?

What do you do while sewing or quilting ? This is a question I asked the guild a couple of months ago and here are some of the answers I received. Me? I listen to music, talk to God, and watch tv and think about my next project. If you would like to share what you do please feel free to write your answer in the comments.

1.This is so cute!  I listen to great Southern Gospel music!  I always appreciate hearing from you and your keeping me updated....Mary Ann

2. I generally have either the radio or TV on.... and do a lot of thinking, planning and I wish I could say problem solving...  Just doesn't seem to work that way.   Mostly I am putting off other things that should be done; cooking,  cleaning, mowing, and other chores....Pat P.

3. Hi!  I love this question!  I listen to the radio or tv.  I always have tea, water, and maybe a brownie every now and then.
Yes, planning my next project keeps me moving right along...Pat M....

4. I tend to listen to T.V., while I sew, and will look up if there is something of interest on the screen.  I often will have coffee or tea to sip while I sew.  gs

5.  As far as what I do when I sew, I just listen to music as I have no tv in my sitting room which is also my sewing room.

6. I listen to music.(elevator)!!  Barb S

October Meeting

I am writing a post for the October meeting a little late but it was still and interesting meeting, for one thing all of the Row Robins were revealed and what a surprise some of us received when we saw our new quilt tops.
We called them Row Robins because we decided to do rows instead of rounds.  It was 9 months of work. Each month we had to create a different design on each top. One thing I can say for my self was I enjoyed doing the rows because I learned something new each month. When I received my top I was so thrilled, I could not believe the time that each one of my Quilting Sisters put into the row they did for me. I could feel the love and patience that they put into making them special for me.  So I will show mine first and you will enjoy looking at all of the tops that were created.

Now I will post the pictures of our show and tells.

These are tiny yo yos that Mildred made and made a pillow. 

This is such a beautiful pillow, see how small she made the yo yos.

This design has been named "Judith made me do it" Several of the quilters have made it using different colors of fabric. It looks different each time. Although they say that it is very easy to make it does not look like it. 

Helen was the winner of the door prize. The fat quarters she won were so pretty.

Every time one of us wins the door prize we act like we don't have any fabric at home.   It's always a thrill.
