Friday Night Fever on March 5, 2010

by Andrea Paden

Friday Night Fever is Cozy Quilt Shop's monthly sit and sew with a Disco theme. Once a month from 5pm to 10pm we offer great music, good food, and lots of fun sewing in the Cozy Classroom, all for only $20! If you would like to get in on the action, check our website for the Friday Night Fever schedule. It's a great way to complete unfinished projects and have a blast at the same time!

This month’s Friday Night Fever was a fun-filled evening for all of us! The music was crankin’, the disco ball was spinin’, and sewing machines were smokin’!

It was a very productive night for pillowcases. Diane got lots of them ready to go for our 1 Million Pillowcase challenge. I’m sure we’ll make our goal of 3,000 pillowcases at this rate!

 

Mary started and completed all 12 Dutch Treat blocks – she’s a Super Sewer! If you didn’t see it before, Dutch Treat was the block designed by Cozy Quilt Shop for the Spring Fling Row Quilt Run. Take a look at Mary’s work.

 
Are you inspired to make your own row of tulips? You can find everything you need to complete the entire row in our  Dutch Treat Kit, available on CozyQuilt.com.

As the evening wore on, the ladies got a little wild and crazy singing and dancing to Y-M-C-A, I Will Survive, and a few Michael Jackson tunes.

And after we worked up an appetite, Kathy served us her fabulous homemade lasagna. Of course there was room for chocolate cake!

Here is an adorable project. This sewer used the Love U Charm Squares in a patchwork quilt with a twist (or a tuck, I should say). She just added one tuck in the center of each seam to make squares puff up in this quilt top. Using a plush poly-batting will fill in each square to maintain the shape. A unique idea, so simple to do!

I even got a little work done on my first quilt, trying to complete my “in the ditch” quilting.

Everyone had a great time and left with a smile on their face! It’s so much fun to sew in such great company. Hope to see you next time!

Grumble. Where were you guys when I lived in San Diego ten years ago? I would have been all over that. What a great idea! It looks like y'all had a lot of fun. :)

Wanted to mention that the quilt in the 4th pic from the bottom is a biscuit or puff quilt.. they were extremely popular in the 60s and 70s.. that was a really good pattern choice for a 70s themed night. :) They are super easy to make too. I haven't seen one in well over a decade.
