Storm At Sea

This Storm At Sea was made be the 7-Sisters Quilt Guild.

It will be raffled off in June to benefit the Trappe Volunteer Fire Company.

I thought it would be neat for the quilting to feel flowing like water.

The quilting was very simple but I think it has the effect I was going for.

7-Sisters

Friday night the 7-Sisters continued working on the Storm at Sea quilt for the raffle this year. It is coming together quite nicely.

This is Lou's quilt that she made from the 7-Sisters fabric exchange that took place last summer. I think we are to have them all completed some time in April. I hope to post a picture of all 9 of them then.

Today I spent the entire day at the Trappe Fire House quilting. Each year the 7-Sisters make a quilt and raffle it off for the Trappe Fire Company. Today we started the quilt for 2012. This year we are making a Storm at Sea. 

Cheryl was our fearless leader instructing us on the construction of the blocks.

Patti is very happy with her blocks so far.

Lou is busy trimming a block.

Margaret shows her blocks.

Polly is diligently sewing.

Of course as with any quilting gathering we had to eat.

For breakfast we had ambrosia and monkey bread.

There sure wasn't much monkey bread left.

For lunch we had the best ever white chicken chili. Lou made it using a Pampered Chef Recipe. As you can see we really did a number on the chili. Here is Lou cleaning the crock pot.

For dessert we had Apple Crisp that Patti's husband made in a crock pot. Not much of that good stuff left either.

It was a great day spent with great friends and we got a lot accomplished.
