Friendly sewing

Went to stitch-n-bitch (aka Late Night at The Crow) with a goal: get moving on the stalled-out process of machine quilting a baby quilt.

I'm not that much of a machine-quilter.  In fact, I tend to lose steam anytime a project gets to the "big and unwieldy" stage.

But my friends helped out.  Not by doing any of the sewing, mind you, but by being there to distract me from the parts I don't love.

Seventeen sashing strips machine quilted. Woot.

And I wasn't the only one: Bonnie had also brought along a project that she had come to dislike.  Nothing like a little conversation to carry you through.
