What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

Here’s how it works. Every week I start out by sharing what I’ve been working on. Then I share the projects from the previous week that most inspired me so that they will inspire you too! This is followed by the actual link up where you can ...

Flags are flying!  Wild flag iris, that is.  Purple/blue is native, yellow is invasive, and both are beautiful.   Flags like to have their feet wet so they grow in marshy areas. 

That was Monday afternoon at Illinois Beach State Park. 

 No walk yesterday because I joined AAUW friends for our summer luncheon.  There's a silent auction/sale for our scholarship fund. I brought books and a couple of miscellaneous items.  I also brought the box of placemats that I've made ...

 The Magpies met in the late 1990's on the Usenet newsgroup Rec.Crafts.Textiles.Quilting. We spun off from RCTQ so we could chatter (like magpies) off-topic.  We've had in-person meetups large and small.  

Earlier this year Diane offered to host a Magpie meetup in Victoria, BC, in conjunction with the Victoria Quilters' Guild biennial show May 9-10.  Five of us took her up on the offer:  Stacey (MO), Phebe (WA), Janet (PA), Debs (also in Victoria), and me.

Monday was sunny and warm.  Lots of wildflowers have sprung up!  

Upper left: white trillium. Upper right: red trillium. Center: bristly buttercup, crane's bill (geranium). Lower: chokecherry, mayapple. (I put the camera on selfie and aimed from the bottom to get the mayapple blossom.)

The Zion Woman's Club ended its 119th program year with a luncheon* meeting and officer installation.  Actually, it was a re-installation since we all agreed to continue in the same offices for 2026-28.   

*Lunch vs. luncheon: lunch is casual, luncheon is fancy.  Another distinction to trip up English language learners. 

The group posed with ...

 Yesterday afternoon I gave the New Zealand travelog for our AAUW travel group.  All went well.  In the evening I attempted to repeat the presentation via Zoom for P.E.O. but my computer screen kept blacking out.  My P.E.O. sisters were very understanding, I logged back in on my iPad, and the meeting proceeded without the program.  I have a Geek Squad appointment later today!  (And as I type this the computer screen is fine, but I'm going to keep that appointment.)

Jolie Afrique is finished and so is the Six Quilts challenge.    (The pattern is Jolie and the fabrics are African.) 

The Villa Rosa Designs Six Quilts in Six Weeks Challenge instructions:   finish six quilts from  VRD patterns between April 6 and May 20.  New starts, UFOs, and WIPs are eligible.  

I leaped right on the challenge by finishing a UFO, making the April top-along (a VRD spinoff), and making four more quilts from patterns I purchased.  

It feels so good to complete the challenge three weeks ahead of schedule!

Next project:  an I Spy quilt.  Baby shower is May 24 ...

It's a flimsy!  

I auditioned a couple of red/green prints for the border but nothing looked right (or I didn't have enough) so I used the background.  

64" x 72".  6 yards in all.

Here's a closeup.   

Several people have commented on how small the 9ps are.   I cut 1-1/2" strips and the blocks are 3-1/2 (3" finished).   I don't think that is that small.  Maybe it's all the practice I had with the mini-9p swap I participated in for so many years.
