On New Year's Eve Day Kathy came over and she, DJ and I worked on two of Ann B. Smith's Mystery quilts. We did a baby size each this year and it was nice to have some time to chat and relax in between clues though we really didn't have much extra time! These clue pics aren't in order and you see my colors and Kathy's....
Here is DJ helping us out with trimming..it was her first sewing experience.
Kathy is a pro by now and was speeding along and used two different machines throughout the day. She needed some help threading and such but other than that she did her own thing.
DJ also was chief ironer. She did almost all of my ironing and most of Kathy's too! It was nice to have a third set of hands helping us out :)
And here is mine and I think this one is going to DJ's niece or nephew when he or she is born.
We had a nice time and it was great to actually sew for an entire day again! It has been about two months! Happy New Year!

They did manage to get a shot of me too! And here is Kathy with her completed top without borders and then with cool borders. She thinks it will wind up as her nephew Seth's. He will love it!

Love your quilts....what a fun day....
How fun indeed and the quilts turned out nicely!!
I'm very envious of Kathy's Diamond machine--lucky gal!!
After I get moved we should have a sewing day together!
It looks like you have a giant over sized ironing board, do you? I need a new iron, ironing board and cutting table for the new house.
Finally some quality sewing time, Andee!BJ & I made progress, mine still needs borders but I am busy un-quilting right now!
Andee-----you are looking AMAZING!!!! It's nice to see a picture of YOU sewing away, enjoying yourself, on your blog :0)
Oh yeah----naturally the quilts look great too. LOVE the fabric of your quilt.
Cutting and ironing are the first steps towards getting DJ to quilt...keep it up....before you know it you will have a new convert....I'm STILL trying to convert The Missus....As you know I live in hope!LOL Both yours and Kathy's tops look fabulous.
