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.

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.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
It is fun to see all the Round Robin quilts. Yours is lovely too. Do enjoy the sun while it is still with us. We rarely get so much of it in November. Half log cabin looks like a big quilt to quilt on a DSM. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour round robin turned out really well. I wish you would send us some rain! We haven't had any for nearly 40 days. It was 80 on Wed. Good grief.
ReplyDeletewow tree with no leaves! not at that point here yet...still nice color outside my windows...nice collection of round robins!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you've been able to walk under sunny skies. Those round robin quilts are really fun and so different. Happy stitching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe round robin pieces look wonderful! I used to particpate in some crazy quilt RR's and they were so much fun but the cost of postage has put an end to that now.
ReplyDeleteYou are brave to allow the block to be cut up. But it turned out great.
