Cut, Stitch, Snip

Meet Weber! This little guy was created on April 28. 2007 at Camp Okoboji. And you guessed it, this creation happened in Weber 1 Cabin. Carole, mom and I started working at around 10:30 and had him finished by 5:00. Granted, a lot of the cutting and applique were done ahead of time, but we still made good time. I think what took the longest was trying to decide the layout of the blocks. (oh yeah, and the re-figuring of size because somebody (me) cut the center 2 inches too small) But, in the long run that mistake made for a more interesting look. The weather was great--we had a table set up outside on the deck to do more cutting and the two machines were set up in the cabin. Carole and mom did all of the sewing and I managed the cutting. We all got our hands in on the snipping. After we were done, we went into Spirit Lake for supper at Pizza Ranch. No shopping this year gals! It wouldn't have been the same without everyone there and Carole and I had to get back home. We stayed and visited at the cabin until 8:30 and then headed out. Weber got washed and dried on that Sunday and then his eyes, mouth, and button front were hand sewn on. Soooo--what do you think?? I just hope he brings a good price at the auction. The three of us had a great time. it is amazing what topics of conversation occur when it is just the women. We missed you Becky and Jennifer. Do you want to try to do something that week that Becky is home in June/July?

Hope everyone is doing well. We just keep plugging along here. The kids are all trying to come home for Mother's Day. We are so looking forward to that! I just hope the weather is good so the boys can golf. Take care all of you!
