Sew Day at Carolynn's

Yesterday was Sew Day at Carolynn's house, and I'm featuring her fabulous, warm, rich, Southwest quilts on today's blog post. These are all originals, and you can see that she is drawn to warm, earthy colors.

The quilt below was a round robin done by our sewing group some years ago. Carolynn made the center block, with a Southwest mountain scene, and each of the other four of us put on a border that coordinated with that block.

All of these quilts are hanging in her entryway staircase, setting the theme for her home.

The table runner was another joint project by our sewing group. Carolynn gave each of us a piece of the flower print fabric and we each did a block of our choice using it, then Carolynn turned them into this beautiful runner.

You can probably guess which one is Carolynn -- on the right with the red glasses and necklace that coordinate with her quilts! (This is from an old meeting. I didn't get a picture of her yesterday.)

I forgot to get photos of the food, but we had a salad with greens, chicken, avocado, dried cranberries, gorgonzola cheese and a delicious dressing. Add banana bread, ice cream bars and good company and it was a pretty perfect day!

Have a colorful day
