What We’re Working On

 Another great day was spent at our Prayers and Squares group yesterday. Last week and then again yesterday we had a new lady join us. That puts us up to 12 local ladies now. What a blessing it is to all of us. Both of the new ladies are in the very beginning stages of their quilt making journeys, so we have designed a quilt where they can learn basic techniques and then have a finished donation quilt at the end. They seem to be enjoying themselves.
 These are Angela’s blocks, so far. Three Rail Fence blocks and Three Double Four Patch. Next week we move on to making half square triangles. Pat finished a quilt top that she’s been working on for quite a while now. It is gorgeous. I think we are going to add it to our fund raising pile for the spring and summer. Susan has been working on a quilt for a young girl whose father is fighting a battle with cancer. She loves horses. Susan designed the quilt, forming the letter B, on her own, pieced it and quilted and bound it, all by herself. Not bad for a lady who said a few years ago that she would never be a quilter. Here at home I’ve been working on some Bear Paw blocks. I brought home some white fabrics yesterday to do the sashings. I’ll work on these some more this coming week, along with working on some quilting for another of next year’s fundraiser quilts, Capistrano by Judy Martin. I’ll do some more on this, perhaps get it finished, while my machine is still set up for free motion quilting. I’ll link up with finished, or not, Friday.
