the feathered star was done paper piecing style by me and two of my quilty peeps added the other borders....aren't they terrific? i used some fabric from the line "lexington" i'd been squirreling away as too pretty to use....and i believe i'll add one more border, maybe pieced but thinking something along the di ford style....it was a grand time and well attended. pot luck was over the top and confess i slid off the cardiac diet a wee bit but avoided some big no-nos....our QOV block was revealed and this is gonna be another very pretty quilt for a june award.
lastly, in addition to a table full of hats, scarves, mittens and sox for our local rescue mission, several bags of quilty items were donated for the paradise, california, quilters. of the 100 in their guild, 98 lost everything; these are quilters over age 60 so replacement costs will be a challenge, no doubt. our guild is known for their generosity and willingness to share....makes me very proud to be a member!
off to paradise!
