There are  no words for how sad we are to say goodbye.

Old friends.

Lunch with friends

 

Day 324 of 2025

Today I had a fun scrap fabric swap with a friend.

 

Day 21 of 2024

Per request, here is a picture of the quilt at the top of the stairs. 

I'm sure I've posted about it before but couldn't find it on the blog. 

This was a group effort with two quilty friends. 

We each made 3 X 24 different 3 inch blocks. 

We each kept one of each of our own 

and then received one each of the other two sets of 24 blocks. 

The result was 72 different blocks for each of us to make whatever we wanted. 

Each project came out differently. 

Here is a close up of some of the blocks.

 

Day 350 of 2023

Fireball and I attended a wedding today. 

I love this idea to represent the bride and groom.

 

Day 332 of 2023

As I am clearing things out, 

I came across a box with this whole book series inside. 

I don't take the time to sit and read much, 

but evidently I read the first three of this series 

and passed the books along to friends in my quilt group. 

These days I listen to my books on audio mostly from my local library.

(I get so much done around the house this way.) 

In the past I have checked for these books on audio

 and my library did not carry them.

 I thought I'd give it another shot and checked today. 

Now they do have all her books. 

I may get to "read" this whole series after all.

The first book is The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini

 

Day 251 of 2022

I'm taking a computer break but will continue to take pictures each day. 

I'll post them later on the appropriate days.

(Edited below)

Waiting to meet two ladies I've never met before but know from Instagram. 

What a pleasure it was to meet you both.

Day 362 of 2021

What a fun evening with friends.

 

Day 254 of 2021

Fireball and I clean up pretty well.

 

Day 144 of 2021

Fireball and I went to dinner with friends tonight. 

It's been a very long time.

Also I keep forgetting to tell you What is it? 

The book I mention in the post from Day 131 is called Extra Yarn. 

It's great and I highly recommend it for kids and adults alike.

 

Day 285 of 2020

I am grateful for my friend who was willing to share some new-to-me fabric

 including these sweet 9-patch blocks.

 Don't be fooled though. 

I know they may look small in this picture, 

but they will get trimmed to eighteen inches. 

Once I add sashing and borders, it could measure almost 70" square.

 

Day 245 of 2020

I finished this pillow on Saturday but was not able to gift it until today. 

The block is an extra from my Stars and Stripes quilt

 and is long overdue.

Day 228 of 2020

I'm so happy to see these flowers on this hosta. 

Each time it blooms 

it's like getting another gift from my friend who gave it to me.

Day 63 of 2020

It's time to work out my plan for this little 9-patch.

Day 14 of 2020

Old-fashioned torture device.

Day 10 of 2020

When you meet a longtime friend for the first time in a long time, 

and you go to The Cheesecake Factory, 

of course you have cheesecake.

Day 340 of 2019

Making things also makes scraps.

Day 305 of 2019

I saw too many beautiful quilts today to be able to pick just one for this post. 

So instead, here is my friend Raewyn. 

She is standing in front of the obvious choice for dinner 

when we found out there was a Shake Shack in town.  

We don't have Shake Shack in my hometown 

and it was Raewyn's first experience with it. 

It was the perfect choice. 

We each had a burger and a chocolate shake. 

Obviously.

Day 54 of 2019

Some of my long time quilting friends were game to try the group selfie.
