I’m hoping that “Community
Supper” will be displayed in a special exhibit of “Covid 19” quilts somewhere,
someday. With that in mind, I have to be careful of the overall size. I know in
our state show, if the quilt is over 88” tall, the bottom gets tucked under. I
do not want that to happen as I think everyone who participated in this should
be well represented! To date, the layout I have planned will work perfectly. If
I get more than 74 blocks, I will have to re-think (not an easy task with my
aged brain!). Don’t worry if you have promised me a block and haven’t sent it
yet, I am holding a spot for you.
I sincerely love reading the
sentiments you have sent with your blocks. I am keeping a notebook with all
your sweet notes and a journal of my progress and my thoughts as I go along.
This weekend I had a ball
adding sashing to all the undersized blocks and cutting and mating backings to
each one. It feels good to be so organized! Now I can just grab and quilt a few
each morning and bind them at night.
Here are 3 that I completed
after all my organization efforts!
Kathy Parsons from Franklin,
Massachusetts. I love Kathy’s note and message: As you can see, the design is a
little off center – the way I feel without a normal routine. I have been
staying with my son, daughter in law and 2 teenage grandsons during this “stay
at home” phase. On nice evenings we sit on their deck and have a glass of wine
and watch the boys play soccer in the yard.” Kathy’s message rings true for all
of us – “Count Your Blessings”. Thanks Kathy!
Lana Reed, Chattanooga,
Tennessee. In her note, Lana wrote – “This has been a difficult &
challenging year for all of us – some more than others. I am so glad to have my
“stitching”. Yes, indeed Lana, thanks for reminding us how lucky we quilters
are.
Barb Vedder (Fun With Barb),
Madison, Connecticut – Barb said, although she has always wanted to make a
“Pickle Dish” quilt, this is a “one off”! I love it!! Barb is sending a label
which I will add when it arrives, but her sentiment at the end of her note was
“I’m bringing pickles”. You will always find me loading up at the condiment
table of any community supper. I love anything pickled, especially homemade.
Thanks for a gorgeous block Barb!
Hope you are all enjoying
some late Spring stitching in the sunshine!
Loving this Pot Luck adventure!!
ReplyDeleteOh, it all looks so nice. This is going to be such a fun quilt. Such a variety too ~
ReplyDeletegonna be an astounding quilt...good thing they postponed the exhibit at the maine state museum until 2021 eh?
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see all these gorgeous blocks as they're completed. The backs compliment the fronts perfectly too. One amazing quilt in the making!
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun! Love these blocks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a marvellous project! I’ve always wanted to make a pickle dish quilt too but I don’t enjoy paper piecing. I love all of your backings - they’re fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuch great new blocks. This is going to be extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteCan't pick a favorite.. love the stories.
Each block adds some spice to the supper.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks here.... I'll have to go back and catch up on your top see what they are for. All very special but the sounds of things.....
ReplyDeleteTrying to get back to blogging....

ReplyDeleteI'll be sending a label - duh! sorry I forgot.
I am living for this project. so fun.
This is one amazing meal in the making that is warming our hearts with every orphan dish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bunch of blocks for your potluck quilt... and I'll bring the pickles!
ReplyDeleteBarb's comment 'I'm bringing pickles' just makes me smile! What fun for you working through this. I just smile everytime you post about it!
ReplyDeleteThe Pickle Dish block is lovely and really adds to your smorgasbord along with the wine!
ReplyDeleteI like Barb's comment about bringing pickles. You and her can have all the pickles. I seldom eat them. Her block is nice even if it is not one she thought was great.
ReplyDeleteSuch variety thus far. I am enjoying seeing each one and reading what the sender had to say.
More delicious goodies for what's shaping up to be the best community supper of the year.
ReplyDeleteI did not realize you were a pickle/pickled vegetable lover. Going forward, I'll think of you as I pickle our garden peppers and cucumbers! If I can get my hands on some fresh beets, I'm going to try pickling those, too.
