Catching up with a longtime friend: Leslye and I have known one another since junior high. We reconnected a few years ago and have had the best intentions to get together -- we live about 17 miles apart. Last week she emailed and wrote, "Let's do it!" and we did. We had lunch at a restaurant here in Zion. Such a delightful time and yes, we will do it again. Soon.

Catching up with the guild mystery. 24 dark blocks and 12 light blocks. The designer warned that the next clue will be more complex.
Catching up on RSC yellow. I'm up to 11 yellow and white/black Ohio Stars. 9 to go.
Catching up on placemats.
These three are made with the leftover triangles of Transport, the topalong pattern for March.
These twelve are made with the pinwheels that I made from the left over HSTs from Amelia, the topalong pattern for January.
(I made two placemats with leftovers from Lantern, the February topalaong pattern, right after I finished the top.)
This week I will catch up (and finish!) two non-quilting presentations that I'm giving on March 27.

You're doing great on catching up! I love the pinwheel placemats. Looking forward to seeing what you're making with the green strips, too!
ReplyDeleteOh yes – reconnecting and keeping in touch with friends is vital -especially now. How fun that you were able to meet! A precious friend of mine moved hundreds of miles away, but we have a weekly “date” to FaceTime. It’s so nice to catch up and continue our Bible study.
ReplyDeleteYour Ohio Stars blocks are so pretty! I’m yearning for the day when I keep my points. Lovely placemats! Happy stitching!
Sounds like a fun, but busy week. Your Guild project blocks look good and so do your Ohio Star blocks. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see an old friend! You are getting so much sewing done! Well done you! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the placemats. Oh -- love those Ohio Stars. Since I have the die for them I may just steal that idea for next year's RSC. How great to reconnect with old friends. My hs bff and I get together once in a while and have a great time. We start talking and it's like we haven't had months in between.
