Wednesdays are for charity quilting at Maple Street. I didn't ask the ladies if I could post their pics in my blog, so I'll only used the quilt photos.
The colors on this 16-patch are beautifully brilliant!! This scrappy top was pieced by Judy Stokes.
The hand quilters are well into stitching.
I spotted Brenda's thimble and thought it would make a good profile picture for the Maple Street Facebook group.
The update on the quilt I'm putting together:
All the 160 wonky blocks are sewn up!!
And I'm wondering if I dare start sewing blocks together without laying them out on a design board. ...I probably shouldn't chance it.
After charity quilting, Sweets and I went shopping in Tupelo (it's an hour drive from our house.) A couple hours at the thrift store then an hour or so at the mall... by time we got back home, I was too tired to stitch.
Thankfully, I have enough energy to give my quilting report today!
Oh, ohh, ohhh, yes!!
I found an excellent chair at the thrift store for when I'm working with "George" and at the fantastic price of $5!!
No more pulling the table close and sitting on the bed to quilt 🤗.
The back wooden slat thing has a crack, but it doesn't seem to effect the sturdiness of the chair. I'll probably be the only one ever sitting in it, so it'll be ok.
For FIVE dollars!! I made out like a bandit...
a Whimsy bandit!!!
