Another month and more projects checked off.
I sew two days a week with friends via Zoom. Some of us did not know each other well before we started doing this, but seeing other quilters twice a week has created some wonderful friendships. There are times of no talking - just the hum of machines - and other times the conversation is racing. We talk about quilts, books, recipes - lots of stuff.
Cabin Chills. Kit from Picking Daisies. 50 x 80 inches |
The following quilt was a kit purchased from Laura Heine at one of the first Long Beach quilt shows. I don't remember which one. She had buttons at each intersection of the sashing strips; I chose to leave them off making the quilt better for naps.
In My Garden (Laura Heine) 70 x 80 inches |
I purchased table runner kits at Thimble Towne during their moving sale. I made one using the pattern provided, but then used the fabrics to make other variations. All are approximately 15 x 40 inches.

This one ended up being my favorite. |
I liked this pattern last year when making table runners for my Soroptimist board, but these did not turn out as well. Different fabrics bring different results. |
The other exciting news is that my "new to me" sofa has been delivered. The sofa was given to me by neighbors, but needed to be reupholstered. It's over 100 years old and fits in my home perfectly.

Wow, the couch turned out great! Love your little quilt. I have not been back to quilting yet. Hopefully I will be able to get my sewing room set up soon. Happy New Year!
