Last week at the quilt stop I got a new bag pattern that uses a charm pack. The idea is to make it look like mountains, but that wasn't what I had in mind.
For my first try I grabbed a charm pack from my stash. After a few glitches on my part the pattern went together nicely. But the bag front - doesn't mine accidentally look like an owl?
I wish I had taken a picture of the shop sample so you could see what the designer had in mind. I'll make another one with a different charm pack and there won't be an owl. (Ridgeline Pouch by Chrissy Lux)
Today was lunch with my retreat friends. All of us probably won't gather together for retreats any more, we are getting older and medical issues are creeping up, but these monthly lunches are precious.
There may be discussions of friends' illnesses, medications, husbands that are slowing down - but we still do chime in with catch-ups of our quilting projects. Or, quiet machines.
