Hello everybody! Things just keep happening and I haven't gotten back to quilting yet. I am no longer making the quilt for Pauline. When I got to washing the fabrics and getting ready, I found that she had only bought 1/2 yard of the materials that she wanted for all the Secondary blocks. That isn't near enough. She has taken the material back home to "regroup".
I also have a wonderful friend in Oregon (nicknamed Goose), who has decide to take up quilting since her "2 best friends" do it. One lives in Oregon and then me. So I supplied her a list of things she would need to start quilting, Sent her a Jacob's Ladder pattern, material to make her first quilt/throw, and made her a block to show her what it will look like. It is going to be beautiful, and bright! I will post a picture so you all can see it.
As for me, I am going to my daughters in Nebraska on July 16th for 2 or 3 weeks. When I get home, I plan on quilting again. (If not before I leave, but I have a lot to do to get ready.)
I sure miss you all, and can't wait to get back on here. I spent the day at my Moms today, and she really wants me to start quilting again too. I'll talk to you all soon.
Bye for now.
Marilyn
