It was another busy week. Tuesday morning I had a quilt guild board meeting and in the evening the Begonia Society board meeting was at my house. There were 8 of us in attendance and I made sesame chicken and broccoli for dinner and brownies for dessert. The rest of my week I have been trying to catch up on my projects. Before the Begonia dinner though, I quilted my On the Road Again table runner.
Last week in slow stitching, I finished the hand quilting on this. I intend to make a pillow cover and it will be entered in our red and white quilt show in May. It was started by a friend's mother in the guild who passed away last year. She had cut out the Hawaiian applique, and had it basted, I appliqued it and quilted it.
I also finished the Civil War Mini stitch along by Kathleen Tracy on Facebook. I am in the process of hand quilting it.
I got 10 more blocks done for the Scrap Meets Thrift Challenge on Instagram hosted by @reproquiltlover. I am up to 38/250 2 inch blocks. These are all made out of my Civil War reproduction scraps.
I have also been quilting on another quilt show entry.
I need to figure out what I am doing with the white part. most of the other is quilted.
Saturday was my dear husband John's BD, he would have been 82. This picture is one of my favorite. We went to get family pictures, and he asked if he could bring his guitar for some pictures too.
My girls and their families that were in town went to our favorite Mexican Restaurant where John and I had gone to since we moved to town.
I will be working on the Civil War Mini quilt above for Slow Sunday Stitching. I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts.
