Well it's been awhile! The Sewing Club is going well. Everyone has made alot of improvements in their 1/4 inch seams. Our last group meeting, everyone finished a weekender tote! They were so excited, and even getting a little creative!
I just finished quilting a t-shirt quilt! Those are so neat to do, when I look at all the squares, I can't help but think of all the Great Memories someone will have each time they cuddle under it.
If you would like to preserve your memories in a quilt, contact me! I would love to put your memories into a quilt! Sandy, the QuiltDoodler@ grammiefish@msn.com
Until next time, Keep sewing, quilting and creating! Happy Crafting!

Sewing Club 2011
Well,My New Challenge for the year is TEACHING!!! Not sure this is my forta'!!
My good friend has talked me into teaching her daughters, Katie and SB, my daughter Jaime, Carol our friend and her new daugter-in-law Leigh! So this is a learning experience for all of us.
I will keep you posted on how we are doing. Today was our fourth class. BINDING!! not an easy one. So I have looked to blogspot for help. Jaybird at http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/ has some great tutorials and a youtube. I have shared that with them, and I am taking a lesson on teaching. So I am now inspired to do a few samples... all I need is time.
I have 4 quilts waiting to be quilted.. 3 of which have to be completed this week and returned to their owners! A lovely group of quilters from the Mesa Regal Park ( a retirement Park).
Until our next meeting! Keep quilting! It is good for the soul!!

Quilting Heals the sole!
Last Week I helped a dear friend finish her first quilt! A flip flop Quilt! ! She came over to check out my Long Arm..She said she wanted to quilt it, at first I thought , Yea! ok, once you see this thing, you will change your mind! (Sorry Laura for doubting you!)
So we put a practice piece on.. she played a little. She said she didn't know if she could do it, she is perfectionist! I told her, I used to be one, but becoming a longarm quilter, has changed that.. I have learned not everything is perfect, you have to just let go!!!!
Laura did a great job meandering on her quilt! She actually was getting into it pretty well, and then didn't want to stop! Could she be the next long arm quilter in the Pinetop, Arizona area!! Maybe!!
I had a Great time with Laura, then on Friday she came over, we went to lunch at the Olive Mill in Queen Creek. YUMM! and then she had a lesson on putting on binding! I love it when I get to help a new quilter! Thanks Laura for trusting me to help you! Come back anytime!!! I will miss you at work! But I am looking forward to your new quilting projects to come! Work, Who needs work!!!
Laura and I used some great quilting time to help heal our sole's.. See, Laura is a NNP(neonatal nurse practitioner), and all the NNP's were laid off last week! I have worked with these wonderful women for a very long time! Some longer than others! We all work closely together to care for our tiny patients! Our preemie and sick newborns! I will miss all of my wonderful NNP friends! I will miss working closely with them in good times and bad! Our Babies will miss their expertise, and I know that the Doctors will too! As a long-time Nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, I have trusted the NNP's for consultations and their guidance in caring for our tiny babies! Thanks for the partnership!
Our Nurses will miss you! So QUILT, QUILT, QUILT, it really does heal the sole!
