We had a plan to all work on the same very cute project, with our own patterns Sharon bought for us all last year.
I have been under the weather the last few days and important deadlines are looming. So I had to work on my things and Ellen and Sharon worked on the project--a half size version of the pattern "Stitch Happens". Ellen, as is usual, finished hers in two days. Isn't that adorable?
I basted a quilt I have to get quilted soon--having tables to work on is very helpful:
And I prepped and cut and glued many applique' pieces for a border that has to get finished this week:
We start each visit with Ellen's Show and Tell where she shows us some of her year's production. She retired from teaching a year ago so she has had so much time to create:

| The first few |
 |
| A favorite for all of us |
 |
| Her beautiful Antique Rose Star on top of another good one |
We have one more day to enjoy together. Then we start talking about doing it more often and for longer each time.
Quilting friends are the best.
Let's quilt,
Barbara
Great picture of the three of you. Is it possible you all look better every year? Yes! So glad you feel better Barbara. Sometimes it seems like it takes forever to recover. I have the pattern Stitch Happens and wondering if you are going to publish the half size version. Have fun being together. ������
