Last night I tried again to deplete my overabundance of 1" fabric stripes with the help of three friends. After dining on delicious pizza and enjoying some good wind-down conversation we all gathered around Kandi' dining room table in the quaintest home. Its large with great rooms that have a history that envelopes you when you come in the front door. Her home reflects her love a quilting and you would be hard pressed not to find a beautiful quilt to look at and admire.
We set up our machines and started wrapping cords to make baskets. The magic of the evening resulted in Becky finishing her basket which was composed of lovely shadows of purple. Then Judy finished her basket made with burgundy and green fabrics. Kandi finished her first basket and went right into her second basket. When I left at nearly midnight, it was plain to see she was hooked and would be going to work bleary-eyed the next day.
I brought my camera to record the projects and their progress but never thought to pull it out.
Thank you Kandi for hosting, Becky for welcoming and helping me get all my 'stuff' ready and Judy for her stories about General Dodge and her volunteering at the Dodge House. You inspire me.
