Westering Women

Happy Friday!  Yesterday Susan came for lunch and sewing and brought her finished Alice Payne top.  It is such a fun fresh pallet.

Well, I knew it was coming, a block in the WW sewalong that would be a challenge.

The Sweet Gum Leaf.  Here is the one from Barbara's post:

And Mine:

Here is how I made mine with HST and 9".

I opened this bottom seam and inserted the stem before appliqueing it.

Here is my friend Kathy's~

And Sheila's with her cute dog Paddy~

Here is a photo of the Eastern Bluebird.  They are very shy.

With my recent success with the Bluebird, I've decided to try for Baltimore Orioles which are a beautiful.  Greedy - I know - but wish me luck.

Aaahhh, that's better.  Last Friday started the outdoor quilting season.  It was fabulous.

Happy Friday I'm hoping to spend the day in the sewing room.  I need to get back in the sewing swing!
