Wild Summer Sewing Safari!

Peg pulled out all the stops for our
Summer Quilt Group
She went
"Wild with Safari"
Because we are...
Wild about Quilting


We started out with a choose your own adventure.
She made these adorable Cheetah Pincushions.
 We added elastic for the back for a wrist pincushion.


We had a great group.
  But we missed some of our favorites. 


Peg even had time to do some of her own sewing.


Hard at work.


Some of her latest projects.
This cute pinwheel was made from the scraps she cut off her Patriotic Quilt.


Great Size!


Tulip Quilt Done!
Done in 30's prints with one of Lori Holt Patterns


Wonderful quilting by her friend
Gail.
