A photo of The Three Musketeers...
... Because it's been ages since they have been together!
(Try to ignore the "glasses fog", as it's apparently a side effect of mask-wearing on a humid day.)
Britt sent the following links...
Here's the link to the quick quilt pattern where you make nine patches, cut them once and rearrange for a quick quilt top:
NOTE: The pattern is written for 5 inch squares but i plan to do it with the donated 10 inch squares instead.
Rope bowls:
Here's the tutorial that inspired me. She has an Amazon link to the thin clothesline I used. It was also the best price I found online. My next bowls will definitely not be as plain!
Until next time...
BEE sew happy!!!
