At our meeting last Monday, we had some spectacular treasures for Sew’N’Tell! 🧵 First off we had Nina share her adorable “Peggy Langford Hexie Method” footstool cover. Then we had Marjorie show off her jaw-dropping Lap Quilt, which we machine-pieced by her ⭐️ Then Peggy showed us her lovely Tamarack Jacket she’d been working on the last few months. The coat itself was constructed by blocks her granddaughter sewed previously - how sweet 💜 And then Peggy showcased her INCREDIBLE hand-pieced Hexie Quilt. We took a close-up of the back so that you could see the tedious stitching that went into each hexagon. Magnificent! And Janice showcased this whimsical Block of the Month pattern she worked away on. How fun are some of these blocks! ☀️ And lastly Katie shared her self-drafted wavy vest with free-motion embroidery 🪡 We meet the first Monday of the month, times vary! Check out our website for the full schedule. Our next meeting is on Monday, November 2 at 1PM 🕐
