Some days I think I have nothing in my life that is blog worthy so I don’t post anything. Then I decide to write about one little thing, go to my photos and am inspired to talk about stuff until readers eyes glaze over. This may be one of those days.
I have a group of friends from various parts of the country that convene in a retreat center in Missouri once a year for a week of quilting. This year, I offered to host a block of the month program from January until June when we got together. Several of the group took me up on it. We actually did 2 blocks each month for a total of 12. I used a book which was designed using jelly rolls. This is my finished quilt. My friend, Kris quilted it for me using her programmable long arm machine and did a beautiful job.
In other news, I finished my Made by Hand BOM and am currently caught up.
This is from a BOM program run by Dawn Heese and Stacy of Buttermilk Basin, ( on Facebook). All of the blocks are applique and I’m doing wool on cotton.
A scrap quilt made for our charity project at my quilt guild.
Two of my grandkids have asked for peach freezer jam so I made some this past week. It is all ready for their next visit.
And some photos from my wanderings.
And below, a hollyhock blooming in my garden and Bingham, the town cat.
That’s all for today. Keep on stitchin’! Judy
