Here are pictures from Wednesday’s Open Sew at Sew Original in Winston-Salem.

Cydney started us off with her bunny holder floss winders. Happy Easter!

She finished her Starry Night! Pattern is Starry Night from Sew Kind of Wonderful

Cydney’s 1.5″ hexie project

The beginning of Cydney’s new baby quilt. Pattern is Roundabout from Sharon Holland.

Oh Jane! Here’s the beginning of her Rainy Days and Sundays. Block of the Month pattern by Sarah Fielke.

Kay has started her Rainy Days. I am looking forward to watching these tops grow.

Kay has also started her Noah’s Journey blocks. I am teaching this as a beginner embroidery class at Sew Original. The shop has kits and floss available AND you get to use crayons!! Pattern from Crabapple Hill.

Paula has finished six of nine Tilda blocks. Sew Original has the fabric line and the inspiration comes from Paula’s granddaughter’s black hair and favorite yellow boots. Pattern is Windy Days

Debbie is the master of wool applique. If I knew how to enlarge this photo, I would so you could see her stitching. 🙂 Primitive Gatherings pattern. Sew Original has ordered ALL the very best embroidery needles from Primitive Gatherings….stay tuned. They are my favorite embroidery needles.

Debbie’s son gave her this quilt kit for Mother’s Day. We all sighed; so sweet of him. Fabric from Moda’s V and Company. It’s a beautiful collection of ombre fabrics.

Here’s just a section of Joyce’s Starry Night. She added a 2″ border to her finished quilt and we decided we loved it.

Joyce’s stitched turtles from Noah’s Journey! Great workmanship! Kits are available at Sew Original.

Here’s a partially stitched block. Joyce did a great job shading this. See how the stitching brings it all together?? Love it!
I did not get a picture of Joyce’s Rainy Days but I’ll post again next month.
It’s great to be back in the classroom. I’ll be sending a newsletter very soon with my classes. It’s not a huge schedule but you might just find something you like. Again, Happy Easter!


and it will probably be this red Moda grunge.

These belong to Sandra. She has finished all her blocks and prepped her corner posts.

LOVE this block.
Cydney couldn’t be with us again because the weather wasn’t cooperating so she sent us this beautiful picture.
