Keeping those resolutions

One of my non-quilting resolutions for 2011 was to make time for and connect with my friends. {Last year I heard some complaints about me being anti social....of course, most of those came from my friends who don't sew!} Yesterday, I got to work on that goal by having coffee with a friend and lunch with another friend. It definitely was a Wonderful Wednesday!!! This morning I have another coffee date and tomorrow I have plans to meet two friends for lunch. Who knew I was so popular?!

OK...now back to our regularly scheduled program ;-)

I forgot to show this scarf I made as a Christmas gift. The plaid fabric is from my daughter's old uniform skirt, is pieced with solids and back in red flannel. Paired with gloves and a winter hat it makes a nice teacher's gift.

I need to get to work on my patriotic string blocks. The Orlando Modern Quilt Guild is collecting these for a charity quilt. As you can see, some of our members have already made theirs.

I've been giving some thought as to what I should make with these solids Robert Kaufman donated to our guild for a challenge and am getting closer to coming up with an idea....I think.
