Midweek: show quilts delivered + top-along finished from With Strings Attached

Monday's mail brought the good news that two quilts I entered in the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show have been accepted. Though there's a lot on my to-do list, there was nothing on the calendar yesterday and I drove the long way through the countryside to deliver the quilts to Nancy Zieman Sewing Studio in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. It's a bright and cheerful quilt shop in downtown Beaver Dam. (Nancy's Notions warehouse used to be in an industrial park on the edge of town.)

I did not buy a thing at the shop (fortitude!). Instead I visited ...

Midweek: carpe diem from With Strings Attached

What to do when the power's out? I seized the day and left town.

Specifically, I drove 98 miles southwest to Sandwich to visit Wanda . We've known one another for years but this was the first time we've met in person.

Her house is full of color -- beautiful purple/heliotrope living room, bright yellow bedroom -- with quilts everywhere. And her basement is filled with fabric and sewing machines and quilts in progress.

I took a circuitous route home (with a stop to see Magpie friend Anna). I avoided tollway rush hour traffic so I didn't get ...

Midweek: wildflowers!, all set, placemat surprise + reading from With Strings Attached

Monday: Prickly pear cactus are in bloom at Illinois Beach State Park. Each petal is tipped with a sharp spine. They like the sandy soil of the dunes.

Tuesday: I put the camera on selfie to take this from-below photo of a Turk's-cap lily. (In another section of the state park with 'regular,' not sandy, soil.) I love the turned-back petals and the freckled faces.

In the studio:

I finished assembling the thrifted-shirt stars. The sashing is regular quilting cotton, the cornerstones are a woven plaid, and the border is a thrifted sheet. Six yards by weight.

Design adapted ...

Midweek check in: flags flying and a finish from With Strings Attached

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.

More wildflowers: redroot (new to me), lupine, coreopsis, wild rose, Carolina puccoon, prairie groundsel, rock sandwort.

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 ...

Travelog: Victoria with Magpies and quilts from With Strings Attached

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.

Janet flew to O'Hare and we had the same flight from ORD to SEA. We spent the night ...

Midweek: a finish and a start before leaving from With Strings Attached

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 ...
