Quilting Friends Make a Happy, Happy Life

A rainy Saturday in April.  Looking out from my sewing room window.

Last night was such a gift. A two hour trunk show by my very favorite quilt artist in the world:

Rachel from Australia, Blue Mountain Daisy.  She is oh, so inspiring.

Blue Mountain Daisy...Rachel Dodd

This $10 zoom was given to us by Jen at  Jen Lee @ Red Thread Studios

There was a full house with 70 of us from all around the world.  The wonderful benefits of Zoom

Yesterday, a delightful lunch outside at Cabos.  The company was great...I am not so sure about the food. They must have needed a new chef since last year.  Restaurants in Charlotte are having a tough time getting workers back since Covid upended the world. Workers who depend on tips are not getting too many right now. 

This long forgotten piece below was probably a group challenge. Anyway, Sherry quilted it for me and gave it back with a lovely yellow bow.  A surprise!!!

 

Below: long coveted flowers by Anna Marie Horner.  "Hindsight" fat quarters from Etsy

It is almost May.  My mother's birthday, Cinco de Mayo  and her death day, May 9th.  

It is hard to wrap my mind around the fact that she was born in 1921 and now is it 2021.

Thrilled you can get out again with great people. It is finally spring here and it feels good to go to a garden center. Love the little quilt and the Hindsight fabric.
