NOTHING BETTER . . THAN STITCHIN' TOGETHER

Betty, a long-time wool lover whose Quilting Bee, some years ago, overflowed with the most wonderful primitive goods, patterns and wools, now gathers together many hands who love to stitch.  What fun they have . . and often.  They have Spargonian, Maggie B, Prairie Women, and Girl Gang Days.  And I am so very flattered . . recently they have added a Reets Day.  Imagine that!  Below are photos of their first Reets meet and the beautiful stitching they have done.  Together!  Wish they lived in my neighborhood . . don't you?  If you want to get better acquainted with this expressive group and see what they are up to, visit Betty's Blog.

And why not give away a couple of these patterns?  You can choose.  Leave a comment about

  6. Started making you patterns about 12 years ago. I never get tired of them and just looking at the pictures above brings a smile to my face. Now I'm thinking what can I make next.

  16. I love visiting my sister, who lives very far from me, and working on quilts & knitting together. We have the best time together. Right now we are working on items for her "Granny Box". She is ill, and may not be around when grandchildren are born. I do the knitting and she is smocking a Bishop's Dress. Your patterns are so cute!

  22. Just finished a UFO (UnFinished Object) weekend with a group of special friends. We get together almost every other month and sew, sew, sew! (We also solve all the problems of the world, but no one seems to pay attention!)
    A great time of encouragement and friendship!
