A Paducah project


I made the blocks for "Tea with Ama" at the Pilgrim Park retreat  the first weekend of June, and am now putting the rows together. I bought the kit just this year!

LLQA Meeting

Saturday I went to the LLQA meeting in Heyworth.
I so enjoyed the quilts shown by the featured quilter, at Show and Tell and by the afternoon speakers. There was a finished Farmer's Wife, Orca Bay( a mystery by Bonnie Hunter, Spools (designed by Edyta Sitar), and some neat "modern" quilts-among others. Nothing like a day full of wonderful quilts!

 
 
I bought the book "When the Cold Wind Blows" by Barb Adams and Alma Allen from a vendor at the meeting. In it is the pattern Trick or Treat with lots of cute applique baskets in autumn colors. I must make it!! Here is a test block-I am forcing myself to finish some projects already started first.

Friday



I finished the Variable Star block in honor of Mary Church Terrill for Women of Influence.


Here is the Log Cabin block in honor of Sojourner Truth (second version). This is a do-over, as the color combination in the first one didn't work for me!
