Yearly Family Sewing Retreat

This years sewing retreat was in Mississippi 

at my sister Julia's house.

 Here are a few pictures from the week.

Sister-in-law Cheryl's dog wall quilt.

One of my projects was sewing my second 

Pinwheels quilt for bunk beds.

 Polly working on a quilt for a grandchild.

 Emily showing mother her cow quilt.

 Mother's project was making chenille pot holders.

 A birds eye few of our week.

 One of my projects was a Texas Long Horn.

What fabrics do I choose for the long horn?

 

Here I am cutting black fabric strips to outline the cow.

 At this point I am not sure it will turn our.  I was discouraged.

 By the end of day two Mr Long Horn was quilted.

Coleen made a wall quilt of dress scraps from her husbands mother.

We truly had a blast.

Back Home Again

This is a very special gift I received at Christmas from my son-in-law. He made this adorable sewing machine for me. You can crank the wheel  and the needle goes up and down. It is so cool.

Winter Fun

Doughnuts, coffee and hot chocolate were served to those who enjoyed the Sunday afternoon of skating.

My brother Oren Jr. took me on an air plane ride in the airplane he built.

After our airplane rides we were served

 cinnamon rolls by Oren Jr's wife Cheryl.
