Holy Stitches

This year for my ward quilting project we are making a sampler quilt -- Jewelry Box. I am using the same background fabric thoughout the entire quilt and then using rich jewel tones in the blocks. It's not at all what the majority of the ladies like -- country colors -- but they are doing it. It gets them out of their comfort zone. Here is
just a couple of pictures of the ladies sewing. I have taken the blocks from a free block of the
month site (tba at the end of the year). I plan on changing the way it gets finished from the original version. Still need to take pictures of the blocks themselves so you all can follow along, 4 done, 8 more to go.

It is really fun to see the different types of sewing machines. I have learned alot about all of them, because I tend to be the fixer-upper when the ladies have issues. I really should start bringing a small tool box everytime.

Be on the lookout for the pics of the blocks in the future.
