A Second Weekend of Quilting and Friendship - It Was Wonderful

This past weekend my friend Sue Hine came from Colorado which meant 2 weekends in a row of intense quilting and great friendship. Wow - it just doesn't get any better than that!

Sue brought 3 tops to quilt. We sure were busy on the long arm.

Sue bought the kit for the top for this quilt at Rossville Quilts in March of this year (when she came out to Indiana to help me out after my surgery - and my recovery was going so well we were able to go shopping at the quilt shop:))

She was so pleased with how that top went together that she went on line and found these next 2 tops, which she had all pieced before getting her for the weekend.

On Saturday we were sitting at lunch and decided we had time to make a 4th quilt. It was a quick trip to Rossville to the quilt shop, picking some nice batiks from my stash and we got the 4th top pieced and then on Monday morning Sue quilted it.  Here she is a few hours before leaving for the plane where she is sewing the binding on the 4th quilt (which was the same pattern as the first one (with the white background) above). Fortunately she brought a big suitcase so had no problem taking them back home.

I was also able to get 2 baby quilts quilted - yes we really did put the long arm to good use this weekend.  These are 2 of the baby quilts that Liz and I pieced the previous weekend.

The beanie babies are going to be great in the pockets.
