Joyce, of
One Loose Thread blog. As soon as I receive the snail mail address it will be making its way to your home. Joyce is a fellow South Carolinian, who I have not had the pleasure of meeting ...so maybe I will get to see this quilt finished and meet the quilter too! What a prize that would be for me.
This has been a fun weekend, starting with a pajama party sponsored by the York County Quilters. Thank you Linda for all the work you put into the party and it sure was fun. (I forgot my camera - no pictures.) Mary put together a mystery quilt project for us, and while I didn't quite get it finished, I did end up with two stacks of really cute blocks. These were to make a rail fence type quilt, but I have a different idea rumbling around in my head, so decided to set them aside until I make up my mind.
While at the party, I finished block 9 (the last one) of the Gifts of Grace exchange. I have so enjoyed making these sweet blocks, thank you Val Laird for freely sharing your designs. I have visions of applique butterflies, flowers and birds winging around these pretty blocks, inspired by
Beth Ferrier. If you check out her block, its the banner at the top of the blog. I purchased that pattern off her website and have been looking for the perfect quilt to use it on. Of course, she designed a gorgeous quilt pattern using the applique, but for those of you that know me, I seldom follow other people's patterns, just have to modify them or use pieces of them.
But in this case, I did follow the pattern given to me by
Cathi. Cathi is in Stitchin Friends, a quilt club that I am a member in too. Cathi recently won a Go-cutter and demo'ed it for us at Saturday's meeting. She was so generous to cut us all a dresden plate block to take home with us, and then to also give us a pattern for making this cute wall hanging, or in my case it will be a table topper. We all brought our own fabric and got to use her go-cutter (Cathi did all the cutting - we're a lazy bunch). I finished mine up early this morning and have it ready to use - and I do love it! Check out Cathi's blog and see how nice hers turned out as well.
Hope you have all had a great weekend and relaxing Sunday.

Wow, you've been busy, good for you! Congrats to Joyce. Have a great week~
It turned out wonderfully. I haven't even found the backing and binding yet! I was REALLY lazy yesterday!
Your table topper turned out so pretty. Perhaps I will have time to work on mine today. Enjoyed our meeting on Saturday.
You had lots to share. Your little blocks are cute and the stitchery is too, but I really love your table topper. Sure would like to have one of those go's, but don't think it is going to happen.
My pattern arrived today! Thanks so much Teresa
Congrats to Joyce. The p.j. party sounds like tons of fun.

Oh I just love your circus sars quilt - the colours are fantastic! Well Done!!
Great to meet you too, Theresa. And, it is wonderful to meet someone else with a blog in our neighborhood. You do great handwork.
