What fun to find out that the dreary Mayan doomsday predictions that the world would end yesterday were all wrong. I've survived several "end-of-the-world" predictions now and the one that I remember best was when I was in high school and we all refused to study for our Algebra final due to it coinciding with the end of the world. Mr. Armstrong, our Algebra teacher, was not amused!
Thursday, Cindy, the leader of our sit'n'sew group, The Sew & Sews, hosted a cookie swap party at her lovely home. I had a great time and here is the loot that I brought home:
I also worked along here and there on my Step 5 of the Bonnie K. Hunter mystery quilt, Easy Street.
Her color aqua is my Civil War indigo and her color purple is my brown/cheddar. Here are bunches of pieces cut and ready to sew.
Bonnie promised us no more flying geese to make, but then delivered the instructions for "Sitting Turkey's", which are just flying geese on a square base rather than a rectangular one. LOL!
Although I'm not quite finished with this step, I've got 40+ done of the 64 that I need. That's two thirds or so, and I'm pleased.
Yesterday, a fellow Sew & Sew named Margaret volunteered to take me with her when she went to The Attic Cat quilt shop over in Effingham, NH, near the Maine border. Wow! This was a truly remote location and I would never have found it on my own. It was a fun excursion and Margaret is wonderful company. Here is a picture of my indulgences:
Can you tell that I was ever mindful of my upcoming washed 2 1/2" strip swap in light neutrals? Now to get these prewashed if the weather will cooperate. If you are interested in joining the swap group, they are a Yahoo Group called Quiltvilleswap. As I said to Margaret, if the world is going to end, I'd like to be visiting a new-to-me quilt shop with a dear friend when it happens!
