. . . I’ve been trying to stick to it. And, have been pretty darn successful doing it. The twenty minutes each day is the easiest part of these two challenges. Completing a String Project is a bit more to stick to. First off, remember the twelve foot long strip of String pieces? Well, the last time I saw it was when I photographed it so I could blog it. Have looked high and low for it. Nowhere to be found ! ! ! It’s twelve feet long and six inches wide. HOWEVER, I’m certain it must be folded to a much smaller size - so much easier to hide from me.
In the meantime, there was a six foot length that did not get away and I have been working with it. But haven’t completed even one tiny project using them.
I have, however, used an orphan block that was constructed from leftover 2.5" strips that were pieced side-by-side then cut into 2.5" strips.
From that I made block and had a long strip leftover. Anywho, used this block and leftover strip to make my netbook a sheath/envelope to protect it while it’s in my purse.
Finished two totes that have been setting around for months.
I am still straightening and organizing as I go along.
Have signed up for a class at our lqs. Dawn Heese, a local quilter/designer from Columbia, MO, will hold a class based on her quilt Geese In The Rose Garden from her book by the same name [published by The Kansas City Star]. It’s pieced and appliquéd. I’m most interested in the hand-appliqué and Dawn is darn good at it. I want to learn as much as I can from this class.
Let’s see, what else has been happening . . . .
attended our local quilt guild meeting for the first time in a number of months. It was great seeing everyone and truly enjoyed the program which was Dawn Heese.
Today we met for coffee with out-of-town friends. . . well, yes, we did meet at the Bakery. They have great coffee ! ! ! Yes, we did have a Pecan goodie to go with the coffee.
Baby Ripple is moving right along. Still a ways to go before the border.
Oh, that’s it, that’s all for now.
