My friends Randy (Barrister’sBlock) and Barb (Fun with Barb) and I rented a tiny cottage on Plum Island for
a few days last week. We had a marvelous time stitching and chatting and
walking the beach each day. I can honestly say I get much more stitching done
at home, but it is never this much fun!!
What we lacked in production, we made up for in mess!
We had decided to have a
block swap of 4” baskets. We were to make 4 each and swap them. When I got home, I looked at my little lovelies and realized I needed to make 2 little memory
quilts to remind me of our special time together.
When Randy asked me what
colors I wanted, I said “surprise me” you know I like brights. I think she
nailed it! She also brought Hawaiian fabrics to share so I used this little
sandal fabric on the back.
Barb knows my penchant for
reproductions and did a great job of slipping in that chrome yellow! She also
brought fabrics to share and so I used a small bit of this fantastic toile on
the back of hers.
I quilted both of them in
wavy lines to represent our walks along the ocean and the waves of
communication among friends. We had a fabulous time!
Just perfect!! A basket full of fun!!
ReplyDeleteYour basket quilts are just perfect, especially with the wavy quilting lines. And I love your use of the fabrics we brought for the backs.

ReplyDeleteHerpes can be cured because it truly has a complete cure. I’m a living witness of it because I recently got rid of my HSV VIRUS within just two weeks. And as I speak right now! I’m perfectly cured from the herpes disease. There is a cure and it's called herbal medicine. I'm so glad to have come in contact with Herbal doctor Kham who is also known as the two weeks healer of herpes virus. Doctor Kham got me cured completely from my long term genital herpes (HSV VIRUS) with the help of his powerful and effective herbal medication which I took for only two weeks, and I got a good result being cured from the herpes disease. If you are out there diagnosed or suffering from the herpes virus you can reach out to Herbal doctor Kham for help in getting rid of your herpes virus forever just the way he helped me got rid of mine; His email address is dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com or for his quick response to you, you can reach him on WhatsApp with +2348159922297 The medical industry/Big Pharmacies make huge profits off treatments and modern drugs/medicines that can't even get the herpes virus cured. That's why they don't want you to know the cure. Aaron Traywick had a cure for HIV and herpes and he turned up dead like a week later, even Nipsey Hussell was murdered along with Lisa Left Eye Lopes by the US Government simply because these people were doing a research on how Dr Sebi makes herb for the cure to herpes virus and HIV. The Doctor Sebi in question was also killed by the US Government just because he was having the cure to herpes and HIV. Don't you find that fishy?
