So, back to my somewhat regular routine. Not that I could ever say I have a routine. I sorta do whatever, whenever, and try to enjoy what may come. After returning home from Alabama, and my most wonderful new friends departed for the great northwest, I dragged around for a few more days, still reminiscing about the fun we had. You might have read about Nifty's, Bonnie's and Tina's purchases while shopping around Cleveland. After finding those treasures, we hit the thrift store and each bought a few shirts. Then the girls treated Steve and me to a delightful dinner at our favorite local restaurant. A few martini's, some nice wine and delicious food gave us new strength to head home and cut up the newly purchased shirts. We continued laughing and cutting up into the wee hours.
Tina rescued the "seams" from all the boxers and shirts and made balls for the cats to play with. Sorry Tina, but the cats don't get those balls. I found a much better use for them. The smaller ones are perfect for filling up the glass of my new Target lamp. Now to make more more more.
Instead of getting back to work on my dogwood quilt, or any of the other projects that I have started. I just couldn't wait to play with those shirt scraps that we shared. I decided to make Friendship Star blocks. Along with scraps from Tina, Bonnie and Nifty, these shirts turned out to have just the perfect color combinations. For me at least. I think it will be the perfect quilt full of memories that will last forever.
Got twelve blocks whipped up in no time. Not sure where it will go from here, but I've got lots of scraps left and it will continue to grow. As I hope our friendship will continue to grow.
