So our husbands are deployed and all of us have been meaning to get together to use our sewing machines. Wine + sewing machine + friends = sew much fun! (and the puns just get cheesier…) Bethany and Emily sewed while Sarah and I gave pointers and made a cake. It all felt very "wifey" and domestic…and therapeutic. We’ll definitely be doing it again.
Sarah says
I had a blast baking the cake and I can’t wait to do it again. I might have to join in on the sewing this time around. Love ya girls!
Emily says
Well, let me just say that I wish I could blame my crooked lines on the wine. Unfortunately, I’m just that bad at sewing!LOL. I’m the LEAST domestic wife in the world…poor Crystal…Thank you for your patience with me!! I had a blast! I’m definately up for it again!
Lacey says
I agree, I think crafting is so theraputic also. I can’t wait to get sewing again.
rebecca says
oh how fun! i wanna come to the next one, k?! let me know a few weeks in advance to book a flight… you think they’ll let me put my machine in ‘carry on’? LOL
it’s great that you all had a fun night together – Lord knows you deserve it!!
Mom - in - law says
This must be a 21st century version of a quilting bee. When I was a little girl, my grandmother had all the women around come help quilt her quilt tops. They had a frame that hung from the ceiling and the women could sit around the frame and quilt. There was lots of fellowship, fun and gossip – lots of moral support thrown in to boot. Daylight was precious to farm wives, so even socializing had to be productive.

Well you have to drink in moderation, for heaven’s sake! They sipped on a single glass all night.
These are my friends whose husbands are in the airforce.
Mom says
I could do wine + friends, but wine + sewing?! I’d be at the ER with my fingers stitched together or at the very least a L-O-T of using the ol’ seam ripper from some very lopsided seams 😉
So are these wives whose hubbies are deployed with yours? Or just new friends from this deployment? Looks like a lot of fun!

I’d be lucky if I could cut a square that exactly… you guys have my utmost respect 🙂
