Second Week in July

Sunday, July 10th, my small sewing bee hosted it's first "official" sew-in in the back of Noodles & Company restaurant.  Now it still amazes me they allowed us free use of this back room and with 9 ladies and their various sizes of sewing machines!  We had a great time, good food and were productive.  Granted we discovered we need more space for ironing boards and elbow room.

The last 2 pictures, one is my block of my newest BOM from Tonga Batiks and the other is my towels I sent out for this month's swap.

This was the perfect way to take time for me - - because when Tuesday hit that week, I knew I would be non-stop between working, traveling and moving.

I worked at the shop from Tuesday through Thursday and then on Friday, I worked our booth from the shop at the AQS Quilt Show in Knoxville.  I really do love large shows, the variety in quilts and vendors always makes me happy.  I felt a little disjointed with seeing the show as I was working the booth (and sold a machine as well), but I feel I got to see what I needed to enjoy.

Here are some of the beautiful works I saw, not to mention Kathy & Evelyn who work with me at the shop and Tina and Vanna, my friends.
