A small group of us met at Maurine’s home on Thursday night to share quilt projects and, surprisingly, celebrate Patricia’s birthday.
Earlier in the day, Harriet took a special trip to Trophy Cupcakes at Wallingford Center to pick up the pretty little cakes. While there, she stopped by Fabric Crush and saw owner and Piece Maker Sarah.
The sweet cupcakes, replete with candles, were delicious. Thank you Harriet!
Show and Tell
Maurine showed us the batik quilt she made for her red-headed daughter-in-law with luxurious Minkee backing. The quilt design is one that she's perfecting, with a total of six—complete, in process or in planning. To help others make the same design, Maurine gave us a little lesson.
Harriet continues to make charming country-style quilts. She showed us two new ones and a doll-sized scrap quilt. Plus Harriet some added hand stitching on the youth quilts she displayed last month. To expand her skill set, Harriet is attending fiber art classes at Grunewald Guild, near Leavenworth, next week.
Patricia showed her newest quilt made of yukata fabrics (see her yukatacraze blog) with white wide-wale corduroy on the back.
Janet has been enjoying summer holiday time with her two sisters and ignoring her quilting interests. She displayed a fun set of fabric slippers she bought as a hostess gift as next week Janet will be in Squimm for a week-long fabric dyeing workshop.
