Of course there is always quilting. I showed in previous blogs this Thursdays "Stitchers for a cause" project when it was in progress at different points. I started with the three donated "orphan block birds" and at every stage had to decide what to do next. I think this is how a "round robin" works (have heard about it).
This is how I gave it up. The clouds fabric on the top doesn't look as threatening as in the photo. Ellen, one of the organizers, wants to machine embroider a bible verse on the top and they want to use it as a wall hanging. All fine with me. The "orphan blocks" got used and it is going for a good cause. And I had a lot of fun.

I want to be brave and do some free-motion quilting. I am not giving up on learning to do this. Layering is done on the garage wall.
Didn't do too bad of a job. You can only get better if you actually practice. Circles and stars on the border.
Hang with magnets and 3M things for the first time. It works.
This wall hanging is not totally done yet though. More to come! I have big plans for it.
Besides the different monthly quilt guilt meetings I went to a women's club meeting in somebody's house and the hostess showed me her quilts. Motoko is truly a textile artist.
