Sweat Shop Monday . . .

Another wonderful sweat shop Monday today!

The kid and Gidget showed up right at 9am,
ready to roll!

They both had quilt tops to layer and quilt,
so we did without the shenanigans of shopping first
and got right to it!

The kid had a full size quilt to finish.
Not so easy to layer in my tiny penthouse,
but we wrangled it good.


Gidget's quilt, that she is making for a dear friend and coworker,
was a bit smaller and a little easier to wrangle.  
It did give us some trouble,
but in the end we won!

They both worked like the tough little minions
I knew they could be.  Hehe.


I gave up my Juki for the kid to use,
and man did she cruise through her quilt!
She was not afraid of driving that thing like a race driver.


Finished quilting, on to the binding.


The kid knows how to multi-task too.
Always bring your laundry to mum's house when you're sewing!


The kid got her binding sewn on the front,
now she has some hand work for the evening.


Gidget will do her binding tonight.
I wish I took a picture of what she was going to use,
very fun and bright!


So to celebrate out best production ever,
a little bit of bubbly . . . 


Oh and here's what I worked on.
One for me and one for you.


I'm sending my love swap out this week.
Hard to part with!
So of course I have to make one for me!

Sweat Shop Monday . . .

It was a jam packed fun-day today!
Gidget and the kid showed up for a sweat shop sewing day.
We usually start our day with a shopping trip to 
buy whatever we need or don't need.

We had to make a stop at Christie's Quilting Boutique!
Christie is always so welcoming and fun!
She has lots of fun things going on next Saturday for local quilt shop day.
Make sure to check it out!

Gidget and the kid found a few things to snap up!


Here is my stash from the shop . . . 


After a morning of shopping and a yummy lunch it was back 
to the Penthouse for an afternoon of sewing.

I was able to quilt this little beauty.
with the Minnesota Modern Guild.

It's going to be hard to part with,
but I may just have to make another for me!


 Gidget worked on some scarves with a fun knit fabric she found.



Infinity and beyond!
It came out great.  Maybe she should start a business.
Hehe.


The kid was able to finish the top on one of her UFO's.


She loved how fast my Juki goes!
Me too!


Now she just needs to layer and quilt.


I also quilted my 2014 word from 15 minutes of play.


Now to sit and sew the binding.
I love sewing the binding.


A wonderful day with two of my favorite peeps!
Great way to start the week!  What did you do today?

12 X 12 Swap

I finished this sweet little block for a swap challenge



I wanted to make mine look like a mini version

of my leftovers quilt, so I had to put a little tree in there!


I had so much fun making this block, I think I'll make a few more!


It will go off to my swap mate in a couple of weeks,

can't tell you who . .

it's a surprise!
