Welcome to Wednesday Wait Loss!

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 (over 400 weeks!) and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

If you are new to linking up, I have a separate page that steps you through the whole process.

What I’ve been up to

Last week I made patriotic wine coasters for a tutorial I’ll be teaching at my ...

Rabbit, rabbit -- this pair is dressed for the occasion and posed on a quilt.  (I grabbed the photo from a Google images search. I suspect it's a Chinese-made DWR.)  

Stash report, June: 

Fabric IN:  126-1/2 yards, $36.  That's .28 per yard.  Lots of rummage sale ...

Erika treated me to brunch (crepes benedict, which provided supper as well), with a cinnamon roll from the restaurant and some P.E.O. daisies.  

I spent much of the afternoon in air conditioned comfort with a Zoom call and paperwork for Stevens' estate.  It is not at all like the BBC dramas where the lawyer brings everyone together and reveals the contents of the will.  In this case, there are IRS forms, new accounts to open, and ...

This is looking west from Spring Bluff Forest Preserve.

I love wild "flag" iris!  

Gator Party, the June installment of the Running Doe Quilts topalong, is now a flimsy.  I used shirtings (most of which I purchased at a rummage sale last weekend) and solids (from my overflowing solids stash . . . I don't purposely purchase them so how is it that I have two big bins full?).  

The patches are 5 x 6-1/2 finished. The accent pieces began with 3" squares.

2-7/8 yards.

The background for each is a piece of homespun plaid, an homage to the plaid shirts Stevens wore.

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 ...

Left:  mertensia (Virginia bluebells) in the back garden.  I have sorely neglected said garden this season.

I signed up for the doll quilt swap hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts.  The instructions were simple:  make a small quilt using Civil War reproduction fabrics and a traditional block.  Participants sent to one person and received from another. 

Here's what arrived yesterday.  Debra from Colorado used a block called Old Maid's Puzzle (there are several blocks by that name).   I really like the pop of red.

The ...

 When I visited Stevens at lunchtime yesterday he was dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt and seated in a wheelchair across from the nurses' station!  That's progress. I meet with the entire care team today.

At the Zion Woman's Club board meeting yesterday afternoon the treasurer reported that last Friday's Bunco night netted $1400. Hooray!    Our charities account is fully funded to meet our obligations this year.  We allocated $1800 of that to nine local agencies (two food pantries, the library, the historical society, and others).  We previously allocated funds to GFWC-IL state projects.  We will present ...
