We drove to Orlando for Thanksgiving, and these bags were hostess present for my SIL Chris and my friend Dorothy, who moved to The Villages. We also spent a lot of time visiting with niece Molly. So everyone got a shopping bag AND microwave cozies, which have been quite the hit!
(A big insult on the day we arrived home - the driveway had been plowed, but the back door was frozen shut...)
This project was a constant nightly companion for almost a month. But it's not really mine to blog about. My Chicago Modern Quilt Guild is, as it does yearly, contributing a charity quilt that will be displayed at QuiltCon 2019 in Nashville. This quilt is the brainstorm of Heidi Parkes and Heather Kinion. Each square of tiny piecing represent something about a hospital bed. I'm amazed at the depth of emotion in many of these blocks. And it is being hand quilted in a sashiko big stitch. I was very happy working on this, although it is a beast to sew through. I became very creative with my finger gear!
I've done so much more but can't blog about just yet. Stay tuned!
