What a beautiful Fourth of July - I had a fantastic weekend, and I hope you did too. Weather was great, a full moon over the campfire, just perfect. Company is all gone home, and today is laundry day. Mostly sheet sets and towels, and I dry the sheets outside on a clothesline. Do any of you do that anymore? I have good memories of my Mom whenever I am pinning the sheets to the clothesline. Here is a picture of her clothespin bag, which I now use:
She bought it at a bazaar, and it is so cute. It is sturdy denim, and the circle hole with the red lining is where the clothespins are. Here’s a closeup of the clothes on the line. The little clothespins are machine stitched.
This week, I am concentrating on getting two chimney sweep block (also called album block) quilts closer to the finish line. The Churn Dashers, the civil war repro group of which I’m a member, is getting details together for our group display in the Mid Atlantic Quilt Show scheduled for February 25-28, 2021. My three quilts have to be finished (at least to a completed top stage) so I can turn in my info sheets for them, with the dimensions by August 1st. One is a top now, the second is just blocks right now, and the third is in pieces, not yet into blocks. I took a picture of one of the group of blocks last year, but I have changed my mind on the alternate pink squares idea.
I am now using white sashing with pink cornerstones, and more pink fabric at the edges. Picture next week. What are you doing this first week of July?
