Quilt of Valor Sew-in
 |
| sewing scraps into blocks on Friday evening |
Prior to the sew-in, I prepared the three sections that made up each block, and Friday evening, I worked on sewing the three sections together and giving the blocks a good press.
The light on my sewing machine burned out on Friday evening, so without the portable Ott light, it would have been difficult to see what I was doing. My machine is over 10 years old, so I guess it was about time for the light to burn out.
Note the quilt on the floor in the upper right of the photo. The young woman who was making it had not prior sewing experience before Saturday morning. She had the sewing machine humming after one of the coordinators gave her some instruction.

ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me Nancy! I bought supplies to make a baby quilt for the new grandbaby to be. I hope I can do as well as the first time sewer you mentioned in your post.
ReplyDeleteOtt Light to the rescue!! Yes, what a lot of work, but for such a good cause. The room must have really been buzzing! LOL.
ReplyDelete..............and another one is almost in the books.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the new quilter made some pretty amazing progress.
Is that smoke I see coming from your machine? :) You are stitching up a storm for a wonderful cause. You're as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside.
ReplyDeleteLook at you busy sewing away. I love my Ott lights :) That young gal looks like she did a great job.
