Signs

A Hobby Lobby opened about 50 miles from where I live this week...I had to go. Today was my second time!!! I loved all the signs they have. They last one is my favorite. I love the fabric department, too.

Friends

One of my friends is moving in two weeks to another state..her husband's job causes them to move often. They have been here a year...a long time for them to be in one place. Now they are going to Indiana. Today 4 of us went to a grand opening of a Hobby Lobby and then to Olive Garden. We did good... we shared dessert!!! It was the first time two of the girls had been to a Hobby Lobby but they will be going back!!!.

Memories

My daughter posted this yesterday on Facebook. It was 1975!!! Wish I was still that slim!!  I asked her how did you get this pic...I thought it was still in an album.   Good memories!!!

making lasanga....

Our quilt guild decided to take donated fabric that was not large enough to make a top or back, cut it into 2 1/2 inch strips and make Red Cross quilts. The are about 45 X 54 inches. Not a real thing of beauty, but practical. They were quick to make. It gave  me an opportunity to practice new pantographs (Baptist fans and a paisley)

practicing....

Today I had a few minutes to practice a pantograph of Baptist Fans...they look easy, BUT I find the straight part at each end the hardest part....I have a community quilt I made at the quarterly workshop to keep practicing on!! I love Baptist Fans.

Finished

 This is two thirds of the quilt...it's too big to get a full pic. (86" X 76") I liked that I could use a lot of small pieces of fabrics...2-2 1/2" X WOF would do a color (2 blocks)  and I had many small pieces of neutrals also...I was glad to use some up. It was fast piecing.....No borders.

quilt block

A quilt block ( actually 4) to go in quilt I have almost finished. There are 9 sections like this in the quilt top. It's a free pattern from Moda fabrics called Etchings (calls for using jelly rolls but I used 2 1/2 inch strips from my stash). I aim to finished by tomorrow and start quilting it.
