For many years I have gathered some quilting friends together on Super Bowl Sunday to sew one of Kris Driessen's (Scrapdash) mystery quilts. We have enjoyed great parties over the years but because of covid, we haven't been together in person for 2 years. Yesterday we held a party over zoom and sewed the afternoon away.
These were my fabrics to start...some rusty orange/brown, lots of gold and one piece of neutral yardage.
We enjoyed our afternoon sewing together on zoom since we are from all over Southern Ontario and one of our group lives in Montreal Quebec.
Such a fun adventure with lots of quilty friends and the perfect way to celebrate Super Bowl AND Valentine's Day! 💖

What a fun tradition! And how nice that Kris could join you all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I also miss some of the social activities of quilting with friends. And how exciting that the pattern designer joined in.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. What a fun day.
ReplyDeleteI think many of us have discovered the delights of sewing along with friends on Zoom.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day and how wonderful for the designer of the quilt to join in.
Hpw exciting to meet Kris for your mystery sewing party. I miss her LQS so much and I did a number of testings for her during that time. I see she is selling patterns thru Connecting Threads now - Phoebe Moon.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, that sounds like a wonderful tradition. I'm glad that you were able to join up virtually to get some quilting done...and with the author showing up - that's exciting! Have a great week.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love your mystery quilt. I think the colors make it appear like different blocks than what was sewn. It is funny how value makes such a difference. What a great way to spend an afternoon with friends instead of a football game.
ReplyDeleteYup the best thing to do on Super bowl day...sew with friends!!
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool that you had the pattern designer attend your Super Bowl Sew-in!
