A quick collage of some quilts, tops and blocks, plus one pic from the visit to my studio. |
One piece of furniture at Cleo's that might go on Rich's project list. |
Then it was off to Cleo's house where she had laid out her gorgeous quilts. (No, I didn't have the sense to do that.) We walked around the entire house and enjoyed her quilts and her late mother's costume jewelry.

One more home to go--Josie's with the beautiful hand-quilting space. Large windows for natural light, sofas around the perimeter of the room, and a hand-made quilt frame all make the space just about perfect. As if that were not enough, she served coffee and homemade sweets for our lunch dessert.

From there I returned home, but almost everyone else was going back to the museum to drop off riders. We started out there so 4-5 people could pile into a vehicle--the idea being that we'd have fewer vehicles to park.
Some of the highlights
of our day:
- Getting to know the members of the guild on a more personal level
- Seeing how others set up and
organize their sewing spaces
- Discovering ideas that I may incorporate into my own space
- Appreciating members' beautiful quilts
- Seeing their sewing machines and antique pieces
- Traveling around the parish
with friends on a beautiful, sunny day with flowers in bloom and
newly-plowed fields
- and so much more!

What a great idea. I love seeing how others use their sewing spaces. So many ideas to share!
Karen, I saw something at every stop that I could use to improve my own studio. Better still was getting to spend time with other members. I think being in a different setting made chatting more comfortable.
