It’s cold at The Bluff!!!
Working on the floral donation quilt and needed to add borders:
Donna at the Bluff had a huge tub of fabric from the 50’s. Ruth will bring this bin of fabric to NC and share with us. "The CCLQ will have a “feeding frenzy” this fall instead of bobbing for apples,” says Candy.

She used an orphan quilt block:
Her chicken is stuffed with rice:
Update from Candy...
Candy forwarded a LINK for the Shimmering Triangles quilts that Jean shared.
She had the following to say:
After Jean talked about these quilts, I just had to look more closely! Jenny Bowker's FB page is a private page & I didn't sign up but there are other places to see shimmering quilts. For example, someone on Pinterest has photos of a bunch of them.
They are amazing although I'm afraid that making one might drive my astigmatism crazy! There are lots of other pictures on the internet.
