If it's Monday, it's Charity sewing night

Last week Jen and I decided that from now on we would get together and sew for Charity on Monday nights. Part of this is so we get our projects finished and part is because Monday night football is starting and Jen and Holly don't like to be home for the games. So tonight we started up again. I finished my flannel raggy quilt and all I have to do is snip it. Now that makes two that I have to snip. Then it was on to starting another flannel one. I seem to be hooked on them. I have those blocks all sewn with their X's and now it's time to put them together but that will be another Monday night. At sometime this week I need to make a Runaround purse and a wonder wallet for one of my friends and another friend called tonight and wanted to know if I could come and help her out with a quilt so I'll do that on Thursday night. She bought BOM's from one of our Joanns when they were going out of business and she's having trouble with them. The blocks are all turning out different in size. We have no idea on how to put it together. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Well I'm off to bed. Happy quilting everyone.

Am I chopped liver? I could come and help too. Are the blocks all together? Is it time to assemble the top?

Woo hoo!! Way to go on sewing on Monday!

Charity Sewing Night

Tonight Jen and I started a new thing and we're calling it Charity Sewing Night. We've decided that from now on we would sew for either Project Linus or Pillowcases for the Troops on Monday nights. Jen finished one flannel raggy quilt and I finished mine from yesterday and started another one. She also worked on pillowcases for her half hour that she's setting aside each time just for pillowcases.
I've really enjoyed making the flannel raggy quilt. Now I have to start doing all the snipping and then it's on to washing and drying it to make it fluff up.
I've very behind in my blogging of the past weekend and all I accomplished but I'm really tired so I think it's time for bed instead.

Hey, you realize we don't have to wash and dry them right? Esp. since we have apartment washers. I think someone takes them all at once to a laundromat. THe only one I ever washed was that first one I made cause I wanted to see what it looked like.

Hey, don't you and Jen forget to use good snipping scissors. Joann's have them with pink handles, and I think Fons and Porter has a short scissors just for snipping through many layers. If you use regular scissors, you could really stir up your carpal tunnel and wear yourself out too! Good scissors make the job a snap!

I agree about using the right scissors, but I am sure that you and Jen have all of the right tools! I am working on a rag quilt done in hexagons, but I haven't worked on it in forever! And I think that your Charity Monday's sounds great!
