Today was meeting day for one of the small quilting groups that I've joined. It has been so long since I've been able to make one of their meetings--I debated whether I should go or not. I'm so glad I did.
Being with other quilters really energizes one. It is so much fun to see what each one is working on, and great to get and give tips for each others' projects. At the meeting, I was putting the last few embroidery stitches on my NQA challenge piece and wondering out loud how I was going to quilt it. I received so many great suggestions--I can't wait to get it layered with batting and backing and start in. (Usually the quilting part is my least favorite part of a project, but now I'm excited!) My goal is to have it finished WAY before the deadline!
I presented my "Pink Houses" project to these ladies. They each took a kit and asked me to bring more next time. Such support! The mail requests are coming in nicely, too. Thank you!
It will be fun to see the finished houses come back, and even more fun to create neighborhoods from them. I am grateful for your participation, and hope we can generate a tidy sum to donate for mammograms for those who cannot afford them. (I hope you've gotten your annual mammogram!)
