Clean Your Plates

Our Community Supper is serving up the last of the big (10” blocks). Sixty Three quilted and bound. I am waiting for just one more from Cynthia (Wabi-Sabi Quilts) who has to wait until her Post Office in Tokyo opens up to personal mail to the states. Again, that is the beauty of the potholder method, I could (although I highly doubt I will) finish the entire quilt and simply leave a blank corner to add hers when it arrives. 

Here are the final biggies from you very patient quilters.

Shirley Farnsworth, Dexter, Maine. Shirley is a peach! I just can’t describe her any other way. If she finds something she thinks you might like, she just up and sends it to you. She sent me two blocks and two beautiful labels.

I decided to go with this one because I love yellow and because the sentiment on the label was perfect. I will use the other in my next pot luck quilt. Thanks Shirley!


Jane Dallmeyer, Washington, Iowa. I contemplated cutting this down for the smaller blocks but this is a clever block I wanted to show it in its entirely. I think I may copy this one for a quilt in the future. I love Jane’s message, “Smile Anyway”! Thanks Jane!


Marsha Fuller, Dickinson, Texas. This little beauty came from the estate of a friend of Marsha’s. This was one of the last blocks to arrive and I thought I might have to cut it down to fit the 5” slot, but with a little re-work on another block, I was able to save the whole compass. Thanks Marsha!


Lin McQuistin, Columbus, Ohio. Lin is a remarkable quilter. I have enjoyed seeing her beautiful quilts on Facebook. She has joined many of us in sew-a-longs with BarbaraBrackman and others. Simply stunning work. The amazing thing about Lin is that she is equally adept at both hand and machine work. I thought this block was hand appliqued until it arrived. I admire anyone who can machine applique like this. And her label is superbly inked using a Susan McKelvey stencil. Just gorgeous. Thanks Lin! 

Now that the big plates are (almost) clean, get ready for some dessert. The mini (5”) blocks are coming next.

  9. The backs of these blocks are as beautiful, if not more, than the fronts! Seeing them is like going to a quilt show! I am so impressed with your project!

  15. Love these reports... course after course.... love it. My block for you is.... *sort of* on its way finally. Japan still hasn't opened up mail service to the US, but a friend of mine is traveling there next week and I'm sending my envelope with her! She's giving it to my son with some other stuff..... and he is duty bound to mail the block to you!

  18. I frequently get cold sores(which lasts for 5-6 days on my lips and its painful both physically and mentally) .. As a bodybuilder, I basically get outbreak due to the daily pressure and heat in the body.. Recently I stumbled upon my salvation. I found a herbal remedy to cure hsv completely, in just 4weeks ..

    I got to know about Dr Utu after seeing a lady's testimony online. I reached the doctor and I ordered for herpes herbal medicine. He sent the herbs to me and I started making use of them. In just 2days, the cold sores are cleared. 4weeks after medication, I went to the hospital for test of cold sores and it was completely NEGATIVE.

    By following every prescription, i was able to cure my cold sore in less than 4weeks. 100% natural herbs no after effect.
    Note: Please do let others know if this work for you.
    The doctor's email is drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
    Note : follow all instructions accordingly..

    If you are sure that you have benefited from this African herbs be courageous to inform others.
    Thanks in advance
