Candy shared this cute comic from a friend. Hope you can view on a laptop or regular computer.  Zoom in to read the text. 

Candy added this awesome border to her Diamonds quilt.  She found the fabric at Cary Quilt Company. 

DeeDee created some potholders and an additional table runner from Barry’s quilt projects. 

DeeDee also reported that she found some cotton fabric at the Good Samaritan Thrift store in Burlington. This thrift shop has a good craft and fabric section. 

Could this be a preliminary design for an abstract art quilt?  🤪 It’s the remains of the pump in DeeDee’s backyard fountain. DeeDee thinks some raccoons messed it up.
