Midweek: two finishes

 Yesterday afternoon I gave the New Zealand travelog for our AAUW travel group.  All went well.  In the evening I attempted to repeat the presentation via Zoom for P.E.O. but my computer screen kept blacking out.  My P.E.O. sisters were very understanding, I logged back in on my iPad, and the meeting proceeded without the program.  I have a Geek Squad appointment later today!  (And as I type this the computer screen is fine, but I'm going to keep that appointment.)

# # # # # In the studio:  two finishes!


The guild 2026 mystery quilt. 

 The back is a vintage print ($1.75 for 5 yards at a sale.)

The tropical print and the Big Bang stars go together.  I've just read Sea People, a book about the way people settled all the Polynesian islands.  They used celestial navigation to find their way across the open ocean.    




I had to buy fabric -- gasp! -- for the border.  I don't know the baby's gender but bright works, right? Right!


I added a strip to make the back wider.

(Thanks for the shout out, Jennifer!)




P.S.  On Monday Julie and Rachel (who live in central NH) went up to Passumpsic Cemetery to visit Stevens.

  1. I used to hold Zoom sessions for my book club and quilt group during Covid - there was often some weird glitch! Glad you got yours figured out for the short term at least. Beautiful quilt finishes, Nann!

  5. Love that vintage print backing, and what a deal. Your I-Spy baby quilt turned out adorable. Nice to see your husband's marker. I'm working on designing my husband's now.
