On Thursday I did a demo on how to make the string Churn Dash block for next year's raffle quilt.

We had a welcome desk with this year's raffle quilt behind it.
On Friday, Missy taught us how to make snap bags.

We also had a pin cushion exchange.

We also had show-n-tell. These are just a few of the show-n-tell items.
We also had a raffle table. Here are some of the things I won off the raffle table.

While I played with sewing machines, hubby went hiking in the area. Both of us had a great weekend.
Sounds like a wonderful time! I really hope we do at least the shop hop this year. I want to get out and do SOMEthing!
ReplyDeleteLooks terrific. I miss Missy's blog, don't know what she is up to. I would have loved one of those machines. Sigh, I am far from Missouri.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice sewing/quilty gathering done the new normal way! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I am sure it felt good to get out and be with people again, especially with people who share a love for quilting!

ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome time. I saw a pic of Missy's machine it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you came home with some fun things and had some fun time with like minded... us... we had to dig out the water wings over the weekend... 5" of rain in 24 hours!!! The pond nearly cressted the dam!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend! It had to be fun, especially to do something rather normal. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI bet this gathering was even more fun than if it had been held in normal times! Hope you were all able to do it safely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Such a grand time and visual inspirations....which we all need.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. I love the pie pincushion you won.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the creative artwork. Quilting is so beautiful. I wish I had the talent for it. I am happy I stopped by. Smile and enjoy your week. HUGS xo
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! Love the quilts.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to have your annual TOGA! The PNW TOGA and 4-H quilt camp were cancelled due to COVID 19. I am feeling a bit deprived but my niece and I are going to go quilt shop hopping now that shops are open. I am looking forward to the road trip.
