Macybaby, totally stunning.
My change horses in the middle of the stream projects never turn out like that. Have you ever tried to change horses in the middle of a stream? Well, I tried it and the horses became quite frightened and I almost ended up in the stream. As it was I was on an endurance ride and my horse (Spot) yes, that was his name, I think tripped over a submerged log in a lake we were trying to cross. Now I am older, rarely leave town.

Thought I would be traveling this weekend but arrived so I will work in projects.
Finished the extra cherries needleturn appliqué on Bee Happy quilt by Lori Holt I just started.
Working on three other blocks today & tomorrow. Picture won't load, going to look for help on site to resize.
Liked peacock, Christmases, and 4 patch posies!

Giquilg, if you have a smart phone # 6, you have to scroll down a little and you can see "resize" written in red. At least it is that way on my phone. Then it gives you three choices, and I choose the smallest which is 10%. Then it seems to behave much better. Then I send it to myself and it shows up on my desk top and I save it as an attachment. From there I have no idea where it goes, but I can write down the number, 6 digits, of what it is and then I can retrieve it by typing in the date and scrolling down to the bottom.

I love virtual quilting weekends with three days. So much fun. I've been cutting fabric to make more hexies for my current quilt top project.

I also made this skirt to wear hanging around the house from this fun Tula Pink design.

My friend's star quilt is as far as i can get it, until she decides on borders and I get the fabric from her. So, on to my next project - will it be 150 Canadian Women (I'm almost 100 blocks behind) or the new PEI Modern Guild mystery step 1? Or the block I need to make this month for Block Party? Decisions, decisions...

Let's see if I can post a pic from my new computer... I used Google Photos to share from my phone to my PC. Hey, it worked! 
This is the vintage machine I got from my sister yesterday. Needs some cleaning and new wiring on the light (at least) but everything moves freely so I am confident it will sew again soon.

Samplers take a long time because all the pieces and fabrics are chosen and cut for only 1 block. Haven't done a sampler in 20+years, but these blocks look interesting. Pictures later.

Take care of yourself with the smoke. I haven't really been outside in about 3 days.
