“Happy Colors for Claire” This cheerful quilt was made for a family friend using an easy pattern. Everything was great until it came out of its first bath and one of the fabrics had bled. It then had to soak overnight with Dawn dish liquid and take a second bath. Thankfully the annoying bleed came out.

Five of my Retreat Group zoomed to open our Missouri Star Advent. One day, we received a ‘sweater’ template and a package of small Christmas prints in a charm pack. We challenged each other to make a wall hanging which would be revealed at our Fall Retreat. I used the idea of the UNICEF Christmas cards of the 80-90’s for my quilt.

“Colorful Sheep” Rainbow Color Challenge blocks for 2023. The black and brown sheep were my own choice for the two additional blocks I needed. On one of the CARES Sewing days, I was working on the black sheep and commented on how the facial features don’t really show on a black sheep whether it is alive or a quilt block. My friend commented, “Why don’t you give her pink toe nails.” Which is exactly what I did.

Genius or need for Intervention????
I just refurbished 3 sets of towels by binding them! Each set (2 hand and 2 bath towels) took one yard of fabric, cut in 2 1/2″ strips, all acquired at our silent auction! I used the Clip on Fabric Guide for easily cutting those strips and the Folded Corner Clipper for effortlessly diagonal piecing the strips and connecting them in the end. I now have new towels!
