I just finished this lap quilt for the PTA fund raiser. I pieced the top as part of the first Bernina Saturday Sampler that began in 2004!. The blocks have been on my list of things to finish for a long time.
When I foolishly volunteered to donate a quilt to the PTA I thought of using these blocks. My skill in piecing has improved in the last eight years, thank goodness. I still don't like making 'flying geese' but when I do make some they come out straight. This quilt will be good for a child to snuggle under while watching TV.
It is a great feeling to have something finished, especially my oldest unfinished project. Now, I hope to make two or three baby Peter Rabbit nine patches and finish the T-shirt quilt this week.
I have been reading the "Bones" series of mysteries set in Zinnia, Mississippi. Enjoyable reading but I had to take a break or no sewing would get done.
Celebration is in order because the EEIS Newsletter FINALLY got published and emailed to the group. My plan is to share it with boss-type folks so they can read my article about my summer research.
