November 2015

Took a guild class from Jean Shaw in September. She taught "Lincoln's Watch", a Red Crinoline pattern. Made a lot of blocks at LLQA retreat first week of November, and now have all 99 blocks made and am putting them together. Stepped out of my box colorwise. Started with my collection of French General, and added other pieces. 

Also working on a gift quilt that I can't show yet.

And I finished a dish towel apron started in a quild meeting several years ago.

April and May 2015

Upon returning to my long neglected blog, I found some post drafts. I'm publishing them today (September 24, 2015).

This post documents some of my quilty happenings from April and May 2015.

Keeping up with "Stars in a Time Warp" block of the week project from Barbara Brackman's Civil War Quilts blog. These are paisleys.

Paducah trip Ricky Tims concert. Went with two friends, had a great time. Next year going for four days!

Main Street Quilt Company in Shelbyville was featured in Quilt Sampler magazine.

I drove down for their celebratory open house and bought this.

Some of Kathleen's larger quilts displayed at class.

Kathleen Tracy of Country Lane Quilts came to our guild to teach a class on making doll/small quilts. She's the author of several books including "American Doll Quilts". I'll post a photo of the finished project later.

I was installed as DQG evening chair (in absentia). Was birdwatching in Ohio with hubby and had to miss the installation dinner. This rose was given to me when I got back.

2015 Goals

I've made a list of some long time UFO block of week or block of month projects, and plan to work on them this year.

I've started by finishing block # 4 Kansas Sunflower from Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice BOW from 2012-2013. It's hand pieced-got frustrated and put it away until this week! Finished is better than perfect!
