Those Mesa Ladies/ November

 I spent most of October traveling

as a vendor to Quilt Conventions.

As much as I loved that part of my life,

I also missed out on a few things back home.

This last week it was wonderful to be back again 

sewing

quilting

and

gabbing 

with

Those Mesa Ladies 

We set up tables in a classroom

at our church.

Most bring their machines

or do hand work.

We take turns bringing in lunch

and 

in the midst of it all

a little quilting

and the bond and support of friendship

takes place.

Such therapy! 

 Show and Tell

is also a big part of our experience.

Renee just received 2 of her quilts back from the Longarmer 

and promptly laid them out on the floor for all to see.

Both are now ready to be trimmed and bound.

 Honey Bun Hourglass

pattern by Sandra Workman

of Pine Needles

 Beautiful longarm work

by Pat Roche

of  Pat's Just Quilting

 A lot of 

ooohing and aaaahing

took place as we stood around admiring 

 the details of Pat's work.

 The second quilt Renee 

received back is 

a varied setting of  

Drunkard's Path

This baby sized version

will be soon be ready for a future grand baby.

 Again, Pat's quilting just adds so much to each design.

 Julie brought her recently finished

Chevron quilt

 Pattern: Pow Wow

by Cluck Cluck Sew

Julie used a soft blue minkee for the back.

Because of the holiday's

we are taking a break during December

but, we will be back together 

at the end of January with

Those Mesa Ladies
