Come on in SewSunshine! It's a big group, we would love to have you. I don't make it to all meetings but if I'm there, introduce yourself to me and I'll introduce you to the gals I know. I will try to wear the same shirt. I think the next meeting there will be people talking about their quilts to the group and reading the judges comments. We meet at Bayview Senior Center the 4th Thursday @9 and 4th Monday Night @6-6:30

I challenged myself with the colors. I lean toward the water colors of blues and aquas. Cherrywood did the work on the colors. I purchased a yard pack of their hand dyed fabrics that run from Chartreuse to Magenta. It took searching A&E for about two hours before I found the Paula Nadelstern pattern, Palindromes which is what I named my quilt. A funny thing was I thought the fabric was non directional and cut all the X shapes. Started assembling and rats, it was directional. Rushed back to A&E and purchased the rest of the bolt. Luckily it was on sale the second time around. Recut the centers, with a plan this time, and now I have swiss cheese. Who knows what other quilt will come of the scraps. Too good for the free table.
