Carol Wilhoit was the speaker at the guild meeting Wednesday. Her program spoke right to my scrappy heart.
She mentioned "our" Wanda as the inspiration for the way she selects a range of prints/colors for her quilts.
"Use the good fabric! Don't be afraid to experiment!" she told us. Good advice.
Speaking of range of color, here are the 20 orange Ohio Stars. I'm doing straight sets for each group of blocks in this RSC series so assembly is easy.
There's a community garage sale this weekend. (Many people sign up and they (who?) publish a listing of all of them.) I did a couple yesterday and will try more today.
The landscaper just finished tilling the vegetable patch. I'll get tomato and basil plants and sow some beans. I am SO not a gardener but I like freshly-picked produce.

I am not a gardener either but like you we enjoy fresh picked. So we try a little bit and hope for a better year this year.
ReplyDeleteThe speaker sounds interesting! I definitely admire Wanda's way with color - I never know how to put things together, so I just throw all the colors in! Your orange Ohio stars are going to make a very happy quilt. Good luck with the tomatoes and basil, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm usually not a huge fan of orange but I do like your stars.
ReplyDeleteOh, the mockingbirds and nickels had me laughing out loud.
