I almost forgot about WIP! My sister, Miss SewCraftyChick, reminded me this morning.You already know I like hens. My sister shares my interest in all things chickens. She gifted me with new fabric kit for Christmas to make a table runner with CHICKENS! The reds also match our dining-room and will look lovely on the table.

Diana invited me to drive north for the weekend to visit and attend, for our first time, the Portland Modern Quilt Guild's "Sew-In". We invited her 20 year old daughter and my niece Aubrey, who also loves to make lovely quilts, and spent time with other creative people ALL DAY!! What fun! Attendance was impressive, and sewing machines, irons, and conversation pleasantly filled the large room. I completed the Log Cabin Kit and now I will quilt the top.

I'm planning to attend my first local meeting of the Eugene Modern Quilt Guild tonight. I look forward to getting know know more creative people in my community as well.
Are you part of a guild or group that inspires you? Share your experiences!
CONTINUED.... I've finished free-motion quilting my table runner. I decided that since a log cabin is "boxy" and linear, it needed a wavy, flowing line of quilting:   Now I can use it :) |
I really like the colors in this. From a distance the chickens aren't obvious and it works on color and value alone. Of course, I have a weakness for log cabins. Enjoyed visiting your blog.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for stopping by! I like log cabin blocks, too. They're so versatile!
