The photo shoot

Yesterday, my whole family got involved in the photo shoot for my talk at Main Street Quilt and Thread Guild.  We needed to photograph all my machines.

Every machine got staged against a quilt and Syd took the photos.

We made a real mess in the house.

This was not the easy activity I thought it would be.  And, it took all day.  We somehow managed to miss a machine and I was just going to accept that, then Syd accidentally deleted two photos, so there will be a mini-shoot sometime soon. 

I spent most of Saturday piecing this baby quilt.

The pattern is called little spinners.  Okay, so it isn’t my most beautiful quilt and I didn’t notice those two green blocks so near one another in the bottom row until I took the picture, but for what it’s supposed to be, it’s fine. 

It’s a baby gift for a couple I don’t know very well.  It’s so fine for that.  I pieced it out of 2.5” strips from my scrap bin.  Worked great and went together very fast.  I put the last border on, just before bedtime.

Okay, so that was our weekend.  The third quilt got entered in the show.  Today is the deadline for that.  I take my first official minutes at the guild meeting tonight and I have a show and tell that is also a donation to the Red, White and Blue quilt effort. 

Everybody have a great Monday.
