One of my non-quilting resolutions for 2011 was to make time for and connect with my friends. {Last year I heard some complaints about me being anti social....of course, most of those came from my friends who don't sew!} Yesterday, I got to work on that goal by having coffee with a friend and lunch with another friend. It definitely was a Wonderful Wednesday!!! This morning I have another coffee date and tomorrow I have plans to meet two friends for lunch. Who knew I was so popular?!
OK...now back to our regularly scheduled program ;-)
I forgot to show this scarf I made as a Christmas gift. The plaid fabric is from my daughter's old uniform skirt, is pieced with solids and back in red flannel. Paired with gloves and a winter hat it makes a nice teacher's gift.
I need to get to work on my patriotic string blocks. The Orlando Modern Quilt Guild is collecting these for a charity quilt. As you can see, some of our members have already made theirs.
I've been giving some thought as to what I should make with these solids Robert Kaufman donated to our guild for a challenge and am getting closer to coming up with an idea....I think.
Future blocks for a future quilt thanks to more play time with my AccuQuilt Go toy!
This cute house block arrived in my mailbox from Beth. Thanks Beth for being such a good neighbor!
Now to get back to my quilting resolutions ;-)
What fun things are going on at your house...connecting with friends...how awesome! About 8 years ago, three of my closest friends either moved, got jobs and went back to school or had a "falling out" over her child's behavior.
ReplyDeleteDevestating for me. To "lose" my stay at home, close to home buds. I envy you the closeness of your friends. Enjoy!
You are so creative. I am sure the teachers loved getting such an original gift. Plus you are "upcycling."
