Friday check in: under the needle, and round robin revealed

 

After a couple of rainy days the sun has come out again so we've enjoyed afternoon outings to the forest preserves:  Indepdendence Grove on Thursday and Waukegan Savanna on Friday.  

At the guild meeting on Wednesday we heard from the founder and director of The Penny's Purpose, an agency that collects and distributes blankets, comforters, and quilts to anyone in the area. (Kids in crisis, nursing homes, homeless shelters....anyone.)    This will be a great way to donate locally.  

We also had the reveal for the 2024 round robin!  There was so much interest that there were two groups of six participants.  I wasn't able to get pictures of all of them.  Those in my group are: upper left, center left, center right, and lower left.  

And here is mine!  

2018 photo. There was a lot more of me then!

My starter block was a leftover from Bohemian Wheels.

I challenged the round robin group to cut the block up.  I asked them to make it rectangular and to go scrappy.   They did!   This will be a fine donation quilt.  

I'm back at the sewing machine. The homespun half-log cabin is under the needle now.  Hope to have a finished quilt for Monday's post.

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday  

P.S. Enjoying the sunshine at Independence Grove.
