Thursday Update

This past week I was able to attend the Charleston, SC. Stake Young Women's Girls Camp in the beautiful Mountains on the border of North & South Carolina. These are some pictures of the girls working on the service project they did tying baby quilts. A total of 40 were made and they will go to families who are serving in the armed forces with new babies. 

A huge Thank you to all who donated supplies and time to put these together! A special thanks to Melissa Stramel of www.MelissaStramel.com for the beautiful fabric.

Thursday Update

The sun is not staying out as long and that tends to make me blue. I think that is why we have so many pretty Fall colors that help warm the soul a little longer.

This is my June block, now I need to come up with one for August any ideas would be appreciated. It is our anniversary month and I am not sure how to tie that in.  

Here are a few more I-Spy blocks still looking for a swap to join.

These are fun little bags to make. By using two fat quarters you get 4 of them. The pattern came from the Fall Issue of Quilts and More. They have a free pattern there under Fat Quarter Friendly and then Free Bag Patterns. I have plans for more of these cuties. I would love to know if this is something you might be putting on your sewing list for this fall!

I am sewing for a service project this month, we are helping make school bags and donating the supplies that go in them. At the end of the month we will get together to stuff the bags.  For more info go here.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The Northeast National Day of Service

I was asked to take photographs of the work and workers who participated in the Day of service. It was a perfectly beautiful day for the project so there are a lot of pictures.

Members of all ages came to participate in the day!
After the work was finished we were treated to some grilled burgers!
