My quilting friend Stacy and I went to lunch this week before our monthly quilting meeting, the Rainbow Circle (named after the road where our group meets). This is a smaller group of about 20 of us who get together each month to share news about our larger quilting guild, swap blocks and show and tell our latest projects.

I am proud of Stacy. She’s finishing a pretty pink and brown quilt for a new granddaughter, and she did the quilting herself. It’s hard to see but she quilted some pretty flowers.

Last month I showed pictures of a star block swap we did in the group. This month, two of the gals brought back their finished quilt tops. We have some avid quilters amongst us!

This swap was led by Susan shown on the left with her quilt top. The blocks are called “Susie’s Star”. Hmm, I wonder if I’ll get to mine sometime this decade???
