Judy's Sew & Tell

Here it is again -- one of my favorite days of the year...the annual BREAKFAST REUNION with the Rita's Sew Fun crew....me, Mary, Phyllis, Ronda and Judy.

We always look forward to Judy's "Sew & Tell"...she started off with some small quilts this year...

AND she has branched out -- making jewelry out of old Scrabble tiles!! WE ALL GOT OUR INITIAL...what a great necklace...and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to play Scrabble...

Judy also made coasters for me and Mary out of our old fashioned Ya Ya Sister embroidery designs...

Remember our cross-hatch alphabet? PERFECT for monogramming bed linens...

AND -- JUDY KNITS, TOO...are you kidding me??

She brought little socks, and hats...

AND more quilts....

Judy is to a sewing machine what Norman Rockwell was to paint...

She is so creative, and so prolific...and her body of work is STUNNING...

These pictures, of course, are just a fraction of what she's created this year. Judy's brain is working all the time -- moving on to the next creation. Her energy is contagious...and it is obvious that sewing brings joy into Judy's life -- and joy is one of those things you MUST SHARE...

So that's going to be my New Year's Resolution. Be joyful. Sew more. Share with others. Quit eating Snickers...
