Crafting Weekend

My daughter's and I got together for the 3-day Easter Weekend.  As always we enjoyed the time together.  Bless my son-in-law for putting up with a house full of women squealing, giggling, crafting and laughing.   No wonder he went out and ran a half marathon!

We had a crafting frenzy on Friday and Saturday.  I finally finished (at least this stage) of my string quilt.    Heather had a flannel design wall which made moving and arranging the individual squares for the final layout before sewing so easy.  I need to square up the sides, put on an outer border and choose a backing (which may taken another 3 years!!) but I am super happy to have moved to the next step.


Also stitched up this quilt top using a variation on the 'racetrack' pattern.  I was originally going to use it as the back for the quilt above but I have decided yet.

We even squeezed in a hike along the Wissahickon in Fairmont Park.  If was a great weekend of family, fellowship, good food and fun.

Thanks is much for stopping by. I so enjoy your comments even if I do not always reply. Have a great day that hopefully includes a bit of stitching.
