I belong to a small group of quilters that mostly focuses on
applique and other handwork projects. We
have had a very difficult time resuming our monthly meetings. First came Covid and two years of
waiting. Then, when we began to venture
out, many of our members could no longer host the group in their homes due to changed circumstances. Hopefully, we have found a solution in a community room at a local restaurant. We can use the room for free provided we
order lunch.
Our first decision was to make a group quilt for donation to
the February Guild silent auction, and I was one of the members tasked with
doing a portion of the applique. I had
been so involved with other types of handwork that it took me a while to find
all my tools and get into the rhythm of this kind of prep and stitching.
So, for about a week, my other projects took a rest. Here is the result of my part of the
project. It will be a small quilt and
the applique is simple because we wanted to finish it in time to get it
quilted. The design came from one of Kim Diehl's books and the fabric was donated by our members.
Now, back to my regularly scheduled projects.
Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because such a
small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of
spirit. Unlike the dog, the cat’s
personality is never bet on a human’s.
He demands acceptance on his own terms. –Loyd Alexander
