Hey! I am in the black!! That is a rather good feeling. I finished quilting and binding my daughter Brenda's log cabin quilt (see here). The border fabrics, pieced backing, and the binding were all from my stash. I was practicing a new free-motion quilting pattern with piano key quilting in the border. Sure can tell I need to practice more.

We had our Featherweight group sewing session this last Thursday. The members brought blocks using black and white and yellow fabrics. We had more than enough for one quilt and will probably enough for a second quilt when everyone has their blocks done. These quilts are part of our guild service project for Breaking Free (a program to help get women off the street). The quilt looked so sunny and fun, that many of the members were talking about having a block exchange so we can make our own quilt in the same colorway.
I started reading the "Cobble Court Quilts" books by Marie Bostwick. So far, I have read the first two books and have requested the next three from the Library. What great stories. I like that the books present examples of real life situations such as divorce, breast cancer, and domestic abuse. The impact quilting and the friendships formed through our quilting is amazing.
Neither Hubby or Son wanted to go the movie "God's Not Dead" with me, so I went by myself. We have such a nice theater (it has three separate theaters) in the town of Foley, MN, so I definitely didn't mind going by myself. The movie offered a great message and it was wonderful to have the theater packed with so many young people who came to see the move. I thought they were there to see the movie "Noah" but they all trouped into the theater I was sitting in to see "God's Not Dead".
The snow is almost gone and we actually had a day with close to 70º F. Wow!! What a wonderful heat wave.
Hugs to all and make sure you hop over to Patchwork Times and see what others are doing.

Your Breaking Free quilt turned out very nicely. It does look so happy and cheerful. Congrats on being in the black!!
ReplyDeleteHey Dar, thank you for the kuddos on the Breaking Free service quilt. We all had a fun time making blocks for it. It is also so nice to be in the black. Hope you have a wonderful Easter.

Hey the quilting on the log cabin was pretty hard to make out, but I clicked on the photo to enlarge it and it looks really nice! The sunshiney yellow with the black and gray makes me think of yellow jacket hornets that are just beginning to appear this Spring. Hope you enjoyed a Blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteHi Vic, The yellow and black quilt was a lot of fun to see it come together. The quilting on Brenda's quilt just did not photo nicely. A lot of the fabrics were so dark but it was good practice for my free-motion quilting. Hope your Easter was full of sunshine and blessings!!

Just surfing the quilt blogs and came acrossed your b&w and yellow quilt. What a good color choice. I copied a picture of it to show our guild as a quick and easy patterns for comfort quilts. Does it have a name or instructions? (I want to get away from just sewing 5 inch block together.) Thanks in advance, Robert, for the Prairie Quilt Guild of Algona.
