Bittersweet Sisters 2019 ~ Part 2

The Bittersweet Stitching Sisters spent a lot of time... well, stitching.

We worked on many projects and brought other projects to share.

This is the beginnings of an amazing project that Carla has been putting together for us - a history of the Bittersweet Stitching Sisters.

We met in 2010 which means that next year we will celebrate our 10th year together!

The Bittersweet Sisters worked on a quilting project of love for Nicki's family.

Here is the amazing quilt that Linda made.

Linda finished these lovely smalls for the Animal Crackers series 

by Stacy Nash while we were together.

She also completed this project by Maggie Bonanomi.

Linda received a refresher course from Nicki on lacing and framed this piece during our week together.

It was so appropriate as this was a Boxwood & Berries class that we all took together. 

Hmmmm I should unearth my unfinished piece...

Wendy created this quilting project of love.

And worked on this project for a round robin group that she is in.

Wendy and Carla both brought this quilt kit with and they worked on them both together as a team.

Carla created this quilt project of love.

And she put together these lovely eggs by Prairie Schooler.

Carla shared this fabulous finish from a Dyeing to Stitch retreat with Blackbird Designs.

And she made progress on this sweet design by Notforgotten Farm.

Nicki shared this amazing red sampler that she has been working on

and I love the linen on this new start!

Nicki framed this while giving Linda the refresher class on lacing.

and she still found time to knit on this pretty sock - the yarn has such a pretty subtle sparkle. 

Kim finished this masterpiece quilt project of love!

It's a whopping 108 inches square!

And she also made this neat Tim Holtz quilt top.

Unfortunately I don't have a quilt project of love to share since I don't quilt :(

I worked on this Hands On Design on the right.

Shari, co-owner of The Stitching Niche, was working on the same piece.

She is doing hers on black perforated paper!

I thought that was genius - much easier to see the holes on the black perforated paper. 

It never occurred to me!

I made good progress on mine that week.

I also worked on my Trip Around the World by Primitive Gatherings.

and I made some progress on "Thistles Table Runner" class kit by Rebekah L. Smith.

It is so inspiring to spend a week with the Bitterweet Stitching Sisters - so much talent to enjoy!

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving

    and extol him with music and song.

~Psalm 95:1-2
