Show Me Sewing

At my quilt guild each month, there is a block-of-the-month thing where a quilt block is chosen and all participants have a month to make as many of the blocks as they want to participate. One pays $1 per block, and your name goes in the pot for each entry. The prize is all the blocks. I’ve done it a few times, but often I’m busy enough that it doesn’t happen. Well, I was talking to the person who is in charge of it and she was kind-of bemoaning how so few people participate. I went home and made 3 blocks for the next month, only to find out closer to the date that I wouldn’t be able to attend.

A friend took my submissions to the meeting. I told her I didn’t really care about winning, in fact, I didn’t really want to win; too much on my plate at the time. That night she texted me to tell me I won. 10 blocks. I figured I should make 2 more to make the top, but then after laying things out, changed my mind and used one block in the center of the back as the center square of a larger block. The block name is Oh Susanna. The quilting design is Windy Wonderful Weather, quilted in Glide Cool Gray 3 thread. I’ll bring it to the guild meeting on Friday and donate it to charity.
