Pieceful Monday

This past weekend has been a busy time of sewing and spending time with Nita. Nita and my brother, Steve, have a little quilt shop called What A Hoot Quilting here in Minnesota. I helped them a bit this weekend with some fun sewing projects. Here’s a little peek at what we worked on. I didn’t get all the pattern names and details, so you’ll just have to peek at the fun fabrics and sneek peeks.

I sewed all day Saturday. My view out the window was white with snow. Between Saturday and Sunday, 11 inches of wet, heavy snow fell.

Usually there is a shimmering lake in view out of that window. It’s a beautiful view, any time of the year.

Nita and I put our heads together as we played with the Wefty tool.

Meanwhile, I was stitching some springy greens together.

Those strips eventually were added to these cute flowers.

What a fun weekend, sewing with Nita. I quilted and bound a quilt for her, helped her with the Wefty project, cut and finished another quilt top, and worked on cutting up some 2-1/2″ squares. I was so busy sewing, I completely forgot to take more photos!

Before we started all that, we both took our machines in for a spa day. A good way to begin a sewing weekend, don’t you think?

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

Happy Monday, everyone!
