Here is the Irish Chain I was working on before I broke my wrist in November. This is a wedding first-anniversary gift for good friends Pat and Patrick. (This is from Eleanor Burns’ Irish Chain book.) The fabrics don’t photograph as well as they look in person.
Last night I went to our guild’s Quilt In they have once a month on a Friday night. I don’t usually go, but was in the mood to go and sew last night, and we had a terrific turnout of 11 or 12 quilters, most with sewing machines. We were quite productive, and I got a lot done on these borders. Because they are pieced, they are turning out to be quite time consuming, but I think they add a lot to the quilt. A bit of work left to do, but it is encouraging to see progress, and I’m closing in on a finished top.
Today I’m off to the Mall of America with Quilting Pals Joan and Cathy (& Jane & Kate). We are going to the Knitting Expo at the mall. I’m wearing sensible shoes.
