JUDY-MN Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just home from work, & on my answering machine a message from my sister (SharonD, also on the forum). Her plans changed for the weekend & she can come to quilt!!!!! Much to her surprise I have Friday off, so I told her to skip her guild meeting tonight & come out. I dared her & she took it! She is packing as I write & will be on the road shortly! My DH & our youngest son (28) are up at the Boundry Waters so was just going to sew & quilt all weekend! Off to run a quick errand or two then wait for her to arrive! YA ME! Live is more than good when you least expect it, or perhaps when one needs a pick me up......:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltedsunflower Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I totally love quilting with my sister. We got together over Labor Day and it was great! Good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat C Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Oh, how fun for you Judy!! What a special time you'll have with your sister. My sister doesn't quilt but when we get together we have a great time. We have gotten so much closer as we've aged and forgotten how much we irritated each other as kids. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUDY-MN Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Ladies, the fun has begun, she arrived! Have been working on Judy Niemeyers, Bali Wedding Star. Totally beautiful, even if I may say so! ( I was lucky enough to help pick out the fabrics for it).... But it's off to bed now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitepinesquilter Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 How awesome for you two! I'm envious- both for having a sis to share with and working on a JN! I''ve just this week started my hand on a couple paper piecing samples to see how I like the technique bc I'm inspired by pics of Ardelle's JN's creations! Have a blast, you two!

Dustee Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Judy, you are so lucky! Wow a whole week end to quilt with your sister. No kids and no hubby to contend with. My sister and I are very close but she doesn't quilt. She is hyper and doesn't have the patience for it. She just ooo's and ahh's over mine. I made her a couple of quilts and she loves them. She brings friends by just to show them my quilts and my studio. She is a sweetie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Sleep? You're going to sleep? It's been a long time since my sisters and I just got together to sew. Can't wait to see all you get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUDY-MN Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Lots of sewing, ironing, trimming, a little ripping. A glass or two of wine & some fine chocolate will make somethings look perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUDY-MN Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sorry ladies, my camera was with my DH & son in the boundry waters... (they have beautiful pictures). I helped with a little sewing of the Judy Niemeyers, Bali Wedding Star of which she is working on. Perhaps Sharon is willing to give a sneak at what is still to come....
