Midweek: table runner + reading from With Strings Attached

The two Waukegan-based P.E.O. chapters had their joint holiday party yesterday afternoon. Though neither is my chapter, I knew most everyone there. Just desserts, and delicious!

# # # # #

I finished the table runner for the gift exchange at tomorrow's Rotary meeting. I searched the stash and eventually found just the right fabric. (I realize that I mispieced the Air Castle block at the bottom so it looks a little clunky. Too late!)

Now I'm working on the coral HSTs for the Old Town mystery. I made 5 sets Tuesday evening. Many more to come.

Midweek: finished already! from With Strings Attached

At this time of year it's easy to justify any personal purchase as "a Christmas gift to myself." Here's what arrived yesterday afternoon.

It came just in the (Saint) nick of time. I had enough batting left for Black Diamond Strings without resorting to making a frankenbatt.

I auditioned several prints for the backing before I remembered this one. It's genuine vintage (36" wide), a gift from an AAUW friend some years ago. There's a yard remaining.

I used black thread to quilt serpentine lines through the center strings and at each block intersection.

Hooray for ...

Midweek: a finish from With Strings Attached

It's been a quiet week so far. Perhaps I'm simmering down after the disappointment of the election results, resigned to the announcements about the change in government and all the analyses of what happened.

S had dentist appointments Monday and Tuesday which went well (whew). Last evening my P.E.O. chapter met by Zoom. The program was given by a church choir director (a chapter sister is in that choir) who is also a middle school music teacher. She talked about requiems, the funeral masses set to music. I had no idea there was so much to ...

Midweek: OMG for October from With Strings Attached

I crossed paths with a praying mantis at Illinois Beach State Park yesterday. I tried to get a head-on photo but it moved too quickly.

We have one more warm day (80's!) and tomorrow it will be in the 60's, falling to the low 50's for trick or treating.

The squirrels decided to carve our pumpkin. Ooooh noooo, Mr. Bill!

Midweek: design rescue in the works from With Strings Attached

Our AAUW branch met in person last evening. I was happy to go for several reasons -- to see friends, to sell tickets for the holiday raffle quilt, and most of all for the excellent program. The Dignity Index is a way we can thoughtfully respond to people whose statements and ideas may not align with ours. from the website: The Dignity Index scores distinct phrases along an eight-point scale from contempt to dignity. Lower scores (1-4) reflect divisive language while higher scores (5-8) reflect language grounded in dignity. At our meeting the facilitators (AAUW members from the Batavia-Geneva-St. Charles Branch ...

Midweek: estate sale encore and a flimsy + quilt history books from With Strings Attached

Barb M's estate sale began in September, 2023. Paula and her friends were off in July and this September but were back this month. And there will be more! They've raised nearly $25,000 for different charities.

Average price $2.20 per yard this time. You can see why my homespun stash has not diminished.

Not that I am not trying. Here's the nine/four patch flimsy.

I have another homespun project underway -- photos to come.

Midweek: a flimsy and piecing fun from With Strings Attached

What an interesting cloud formation! I took the photo Monday afternoon at Middlefork Savanna

I took the Janome to Sew 'n' Save in Racine for an overdue cleaning. I did not buy any fabric but I came home with some books. The shop has two bookcases crammed full with quilt books donated by customers. They sell them for $2.00 and give the proceeds to a Wisconsin veterans' project.

The Quilt Digest is issue #4, 1986. It has an article by Suellen Meyer with this intriguing snippet.
