And NOW for the Frayed Edges

This month we met at Hannah’s house. Hannah is new to our group…a parting gift from Deborah who met Hannah, hit it off grandly, and we are now five (with one ex-pat member in the wilds of Dallas). We missed Deborah greatly, as usual since she decamped to the Lone Star state in February, but called her on my cell phone and had a nice gab. We also miss Deborah because she always remembered to take pictures of our yummy lunches and show and tell and whatnot!

For the record: Hannah made delectable turkey, cheese and avocado sandwiches on a grill, Kate brought her wonderful homemmade focaccia, I brought a summery salad with shavings of fresh Parmesan on top, and Kathy brought those sinfully good cookies…graham crackers on the bottom, chocolate chips that kinda melt and reset, pecans, caramel something (guessing brown sugar and butter are significantly involved). I bagged the diet and ate THREE. I am reverting to my old standby: Nuts in anything negates calories. Since these had pecans, they had no calories. Has no basis in fact, but I like the theory so I’m sticking with it.

The photo above is of Hannah and Kate as we were cleaning up….we played with silkscreens and printing on cloth. I love working with other folks and soaking up their color pallettes… Hannah printed some hot pink onto a rust colored fabric…the pink turned to plum and it was glorious! I would never have thought to combine those two, and of course I forgot to get a picture. DRAT. Hannah…bring that cloth next time? Kate and Kathy also did some wonderful cloths with simple, free-form “screens”, and I had fun borrowing one of Hannah’s stamps and made some squares that may turn into a “Frayed Edges” piece….. I’ll try to remember to take pics and share.

In the meantime, I have HOORAY finished quilting the center portion of the nativity quilt, and tomorrow will add the borders, quilt them, then all I have to do is bind it, couch the gold yarn on the inside edge of the binding, do the beading and sequins, take the pictures, prepare the entry forms…..EEEEK! Pictures anon….
