Just got home from our Conway ladies get together. Sandra was the host this meeting. She has a lovely condo in the south west of the city. We had a lovely day sitting and stitching and catching up. Our group has changed memberwise from the original bunch. We lost some members to reasons that have not been divulged which always happens and we have picked up a few new women these past two months to fill the gaps. Everyone has known each other for years and most of them belong to other satellite groups together already.
I worked on a "Little Brown Bird" block, but I was having trouble seeing what I was stitching. I think new glasses or some magnifiers are in the near future.
When I got home I visited the Quiltville Quips and Snips blogspot and Bonnie Hunter has kindly pointed out a Sew-a-long in another blog to her followers. I think I will join along. The blocks are only six inches and machine pieced so I should be able to keep up (I hope). I just spent the last half hour copying the instructions out. The blocks are from a book called "Farmers Wife". I will do it for fun out of scraps and try not to use any of the fabrics too often twice. By the looks of it I will be able to use up a lot of my 2 1/2 inch strips and squares. Yeah! Good leader and ender projects. I should kit up the blocks and have them next to the machine. Good idea, she says to herself.
I should get moving and go downstairs and clean up the mess I left last night. I want to finish quilting the quilt on the machine in the morning then I will need to go out and buy my son a birthday gift. My baby boy will be 29 on the 17th. Where does the time go. I am not old enough to have a 29 year old child. LOL.
Happy stitching.
