Well, interest in the Civil War and 1800's reproductions has grown in the past few years, so we have, too. We meet twice monthly at Tiger Lily for a Sit 'n Stitch where all things 1800's are welcome - Dear Jane, Farmers Wife, Sylvia's Bridal, Album Quilts, Projects small and large. Only "requirements" --- a love of reproduction fabrics, projects, and thinking out of the box!

Spanish Moss
Well Ladies, I just finished paper piecing Spanish Moss - I had a bad day with this one - the first thing I did was slice one of the completed units in half when I was trimming. Then of course, I cut too narrow - and then of course I reversed the fabrics... and on and on and on..... And this one was supposed to be rated "easy"! Ha! In the end it came out ok. See you all Wednesday night - and welcome to Flo who will be joining us. Don't forget your laptops, show and tell, and something to sit'n stitch.We'll be playing with the DJ software. You might want to start thinking about the TOM and BOM challenges for next time!

Reminder
Ladies, don't forget!!!! Next Wednesday night, June 30, is our second club meeting. Bring show and tell, sit 'n stitch and your laptops and DJ software manuals. And of course, don't forget your BOM and TOM! I've made no further progress on my Siggy top but there is still a week. The culprit is socks! I'm learning to knit socks! Like I NEED ANOTHER project! LOL See you all a week from tomorrow.

Siggy Top Done
Well, ladies, I finished the top with my 85 Signature exchange blocks. I'm going to try to put a picture on here and I'll put it in our Tiger Lily Janiac album on Photobucket. Maybe I'll even have it quilted by our club meeting. Getting behind - I realized I also have to do the challenge blocks for the club. I did Florence Nightingale, but haven't finished Spanish Moss Tri yet. In the meantime, I'm behind on my BOW and TOW challenges for the Dear Jane list I belong to. Don't forget your laptops next meeting. And your show and tell stuff.

Siggie Swap Quilt
I'm posting this so I'll be committed to having the top done at our next DJ club meeting. I've trimmed all my international and Papadakis swap blocks, laid them out and decided on the setting. Now to sew them together - 81 of them. Maybe I'll get a pic up here one of these days. Don't forget your Block and Triangle challenges ladies!
