QUILTS FOR BENJI, AMAZING FIRST DAY

QUILTS FOR BENJI LAUNCH DAY
WHAT AN AMAZING DAY
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CAME
 it was not easy getting everyone all sorted out and delegating jobs all at the same time, but we did manage, after a slow start,  to get things moving. There was lots to sort out, and most of the day was spent with cutting and sorting. 
I had previously managed to make 3 kits and some of the girls managed to start sewing right away. 
I will be better organized next time. now that we have everything rolling along.


Adie and Lenae managed to get going on those three inch strips
Kareen and friend started on those colorful gradations and cut up a
rainbow of colors for a future project.

Zvia was a great help delegating and organizing the girls in the cutting and sorting department.

Even little Danielle managed to help her grandma to sort those pesky scraps


We can always find Mom in the kitchen at parties, the best helper in the world always ready to help at the drop of a hat, and finds herself on "kitchen duty" again, thanks mom.

Gotta press a patch or two

and thanks to everyone for making it a wonderful day.

Also a thanks to those girls who did not make it into the picture, every little bit helps, and of course PHIL without whom this girl just could not have coped if you were not around. thanks for all the running, schlepping fetching carrying, cutting (no not the fabrics the salad). And always with a smile.


It was a great start to a wonderful project. we will continue on Sunday again for the continuation and completion of a the first few tops in progress, and, by then, we will have more fabrics to complete more kits. Everyone had fun, and it was a really feel good day. See you again soon.
Till next time 
Take care
Love,
Ter,
