I am a Duo

Mom and I do our quilting thing apart for most of the year but it is wonderful to be able to share it in the same room!  I didn't bring my own sewing equipment because of flying this year, but my sister loaned me her machine and Mom and I are sharing the rest of the tools.  It works just fine.
Jelly rolling a quilt top-this one is mine (fabric from ConnectingThreads)
and Mom's(fabric from JoAnnFabrics)
We went to her knitting group Saturday morning and enjoyed the like-mindedness of other knitters! They are making baby hats, preparing for the cold ahead so we each made several to add to the collection.
Today, we worked on a new purse for Mom.  I got to spend a lot of time with my nieces, too, which is glorious!  Here one is getting a refresher course in knitting!

It is good to work as part of a duo for a change!

    How wonderful to work together...it's always such a special treat! The quilts are coming along nicely.

    Did you notice the similar concentration-scowls on your two companions?!

    You are so lucky to be so close to your mom. I envy you.

    I like the quilt pattern - simple yet pretty.
