Corey Makes Chicken Adobo for the Sewful Sisters

The Sewful Sisters met this evening. Attendance was good since we knew we were going to be treated to a home cooked meal. Corey, one of our members, cooked rice, chicken adobo, and a stir fried noodle dish. Truly delicious. Sorry, no pictures of the food. We ate it all.
Corey is also an excellent long arm quilter. She is the lady who is sitting in the middle. Corey made this quilt using the French General collection. She even mastered that 10 minute block that we were all having such a difficult time understanding how to make.



This is a close-up view of her quilting:



This is a wine themed quilt that Corey also brought to share. This one has a lot of custom quilting on it. Beautiful work!



Corey and our hostess, Lois, collaborated on this one. They called it a minimalist quilt, which I hadn’t heard of before. Corey pieced the simple blocks of Kona cotton fabrics together. Lois machine appliqued various sea motifs here and there. Corey is going to quilt it with a wave inspired design. We look forward to seeing the finished product.



Lois has also been busy finishing the last of the small seasonal quilts that she hangs on her front door. One for each month. They are adorable!









Lois has also been busy making a summer weight quilt for her king sized bed. She foundation pieced the blocks on fabric, sewed them together with sashing, then added a muslin backing—no batting. The foundation squares act as a stabilizer and a very thin batting. The result is a great lightweight quilt. This one is definitely attractive as well.



Thank you, Corey and Lois, for a wonderful dinner. Good food, awesome quilts, and fun friends. It doesn’t get any better than that.
