Honchey ... Thank goodness for the no flooding for you! You were well prepared for the storm. Lucky for you that you had the wood stove and lots of wood. Looks like the wood pile will get re-stocked tomorrow too!
Good thing you had that stash of fleece came in handy ... almost too funny!
MiraB ... Your Baltimore is indeed stunning!!!
hhmmmmmm ... the 3-D effects might be something we could do together?
What about the Compass Star Blocks as our regular thing, and then in between times teach each other different techniques? Like a Bonus! eg. the 3-Ds, dresden plates, maybe a little applique. New ideas/projects that come along and I'm sure there's lots more things that could be taught. We could take turns. I'm thinking do it within the regular threads, just the same as we "talk" about everything under the sun and then some, now!
Another thing we could do would be to set WIP/UFO goals for ourselves. Putting out there, gives some accountability and we would then push ourselves to get them done, as the group would "know" we did or did not. At least, that's a tactic that works for me!
OK ... I've blathered enough on this ... will keep quiet now!!
