Friday check in: sewn together

 I took advantage of Wednesday's sunshine and warmer temperatures to take a short walk at Sand Pond (part of Illinois Beach State Park).  The front came through that night and Thursday was gloomy and rainy.  Today will be a return to the icebox.  

At Thursday's Rotary breakfast we played games (two versions of "guess the carol") and had a gift exchange.  Chris got the pair of pillowcases that I made, along with a box of  candy (shhh...regift of one of the 'festive foods' from earlier in the month).  I got something I knew I wouldn't use but there was a Walmart gift receipt in the bag so now I have a merchandise credit.

I stopped at a thrift shop on Monday where the neckties sell for $1.00. And it was senior discount day.   There were a half dozen in golds and creams, just right for this project.   

The blocks are sewn together. I'm auditioning ties to use for the borders.

Wednesday is senior discount day at the Zion Salvation Army. No ties but two great flat sheets (one from Kate Spade) and some shirts.  All have been laundered and processed.

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday

This will be my last post until after Christmas.  I hope you have a wonderful celebration with faith, family, friends, and food!  (And fabric, of course).
