The Frayed Edges, February 2009
Well, two weeks have nearly evaporated since we last met, this time at Hannah’s house. The drive down the snow peninsula toward Harpswell was beautiful… I love looking at the frozen salt water inlets, the ice heaved and shattered and piles like boulders…. We shared this and that, all of us seeming to relish a bit of a breather in our too-hectic lives. Hannah been to a HUGE crafters and mixed media convention in California….. I think it is CHA or something like that, but check Hannah’s blog for pics… in the late January posts.
Kate has lately been seriously taken with rag rugs, including this beauty in my favorite colors….I have a feeling Kathy and Hannah are going to be following in her needlesteps…. (the needle by the way is a modified-by-kate-into-a-needle toothbrush…it has to be one of the old fashioned brushes with the hole at the end)
Then Kathy shared what she has been doing…making mushrooms:
and working on a project for our “round robin” of books. When we first started meeting OMG four YEARS ago, we decided rather than do a round robin quilt, we’d do books, and make pages for each other. Since Hannah joined us about two-plus years ago, we’ve kept talking about doing another round, and getting Hannah in on the act. This is one of Kath’s pages in progress:
Hannah had made a ton of stuff for holiday craft sales…here she is with some of the very few items left:
and how this panda excaped being bought is beyond me, he’s ADORABLE:
I had a project (at long last!) to share, but alas can’t blog about it as I have submitted it to a magazine for possible publication. DRAT! Stay tuned….sigh….
And of course there was food…thankfully, someone stood in for Deborah and reminded me to take pictures. Deborah…we miss you!!!!!!! Wish there were a job back here in Maine for hubby that could get you back from Texas!
Finally, here is Hannah’s new kitten, about 8-9 months (?) old…what a perfect cat-cat!

What a fun group you do belong to, Sarah! And I covet the calico kitten — even more than the panda… I’ve never had any luck with calicoes ever since my bobtail calico kitten got caught in a car door when I was a kid. *sigh*
My quilt group is far too traditional minded to do anything arty *another sigh*
