On Saturday I spent the day with twenty women from the Susquehanna Valley Quilters who were eager to learn my method of hand quilting. We had a wonderful day, which ended with a downpour and double rainbows! Everyone did a great job with the quilting and we had many laughs along the way. A fun day for all!
When I was at this same guild in the spring, they were working on their raffle quilt and on Saturday I saw the finished result of their efforts. It is absolutely beautiful! I think it is a "happy" quilt, all those plates tumbling over each other. It certainly makes me smile!
The good news? You can buy a ticket that might win you this beauty! For more information contact gunther6@hotmail.com.
Julievk correctly identified the hummingbird moth, which I had incorrectly called a butterfly moth. Thanks, Julie. You're so smart, girlfriend!
I may have a finish to show you tomorrow. I started the project this afternoon and have just the binding to hand sew! How's that for almost instant gratification!
Blissful hugs,
Sharon
P.S. I just finished listening to I, Michael Bennett by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge and have started Unnatural Acts by Stuart Woods.
Sharon, I love your blog - which I just discovered while looking for a good tutorial on making 1/4 bias strips (great tutorial by the way). I was pleased to see you're a NYer. Me too. I'm originally from Poughkeepsie but now live permanently in Australia. I loved seeing the photos of Lake George. I have a lot of fond memories of trips there as both a child and as an adult. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
