March 2020 Review

My pictures to this post were removed by Blogger! ! ! I was able to capture the titles for each picture and I’m putting them all below. This blog has always been my way of journaling with pictures my activities. I have no idea why they felt that the pictures that were taken by me with my camera should be taken down, but they were. If you notice, I have 7 followers,,, yeah a big whopping 7! I know others of you do check in on me and comment. I’ve been having my posts taken down on Facebook also, and those were in a private group for making masks for our community and the medical people that requested them.... I don’t know where this will all end, but as of today,,,,,, it’s not looking good !!

It’ll be interesting if this entire post gets deleted...... Because I will print this out immediately and keep it with my other journal books,,, it may someday be of benefit to someone....

Thankful to know this is true.

I enjoyed my day in Beaufort with George. We then went to the Sheldon Church ruins.

I worked on my Stroll In Paris quilt.

I worked on some of the 2&1/2” strips bags. Very few pieces were left over from the two quilts that I made.

Then it was time to add borders and make the bindings. And as they waited with the others for their turn on the longarm machine.

Klondike bars were on the grocery list, in George’s head!!!! LOL

Grandkids kept themselves busy making volcanoes. Lovely lava colors on this one.

I invested 2 days filling up the recycle bin with paper that could have been tossed years ago.

I made 2 blocks at our CQG workshop and next time I’m going to work on the circle shapes.

I enjoyed experimenting with Derwent Inktense Pencils and aloe Vera gel for the medium, then heat set the colors. This would be a fun project to do with the grandkids.

So I’ll leave you with this picture again as I feel it says it all. This picture was removed also....

Busy Fingers in February

Sometimes, it’s all about staying warm......

I’ve been so thankful for these hand warmers. Our temps have been a bit chilly

My table was cleared and ready for the first meeting of the Program Committee on Saturday, February 1st.

This was a display to show them some of the workshops that will be happening this year.

These were my contribution to a group quilt for a friend’s husband. This picture makes my brown look black, but I can’t retake the photo....

Two nine-patch blocks before cutting them.

And those same two blocks put back together with sashing after rearranging them..

My two block for the Box Buddy group exchange. Each month I will make these same two blocks for another Buddy with her fabrics. After 6 months, we’ll get our Boxes back and have 12 blocks for creating something that our friends have made with our fabrics, but their block choices.

These were the 6 blocks I made at Cobblestone Quilters Guild gathering on January 18. It is the Jolly Bar Jazz pattern from Fat Quarter Shop. It was a great Quilters Day Out.

Quiltfolk Magazine sent me a box filled with merchandise and gift cards to use as door prizes with the guild. I saw the ad on Facebook and entered the giveaway. The calendars are 2020 so we got those given out already. This was a very generous gift we received.

I finished cutting over 1200 10” squares for a workshop in March. I really like the green batik on the top of the pile in the back. It was a push to cut it up,,,, but it is now all 10” squares.
