It's a Friendly Thing

What is Friendship? Friendship is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it but only you can feel the warmth of it. 

(BwaaaHahaHa! 🤣 Sorry, but sometimes I just crack myself.)

Friends' Favourite was started in January 2023. I "stole" the pattern from Fiona's blog who got it from a friend, who was inspired by another friend's quilt, hence the name Friends' Favourite. 

I worked at it here and there. I wanted to use prints that I like, that talk to me because it will be my quilt. We all know that working on quilts in this fashion takes forever to get them finish.  It was brought to the retreat to get it moving forward. 

The retreat didn't go so well. I got sick. So sick that I called DH to pick me up. What was supposed to be a four day retreat ended after 30 hours. I'm happy to say that none of the ladies got sick . . . yet. 

Anywho! 

While I complained about feeling like a road kill, I managed to sew! And cut! 

There were 133 centres missing to make the 240 blocks needed. I cut those. I framed (25 centres at a time) most of them before it occurred to me that I should lay them out to see if there's a colour I need more of.  

It didn't take long to see that GREEN was in short supply. It's was an easy fix. 

Other colours were added too because they talk to me. 

Needless to say that there are waaayyy too many centres now. I'm sure I can use them in one of the baby quilts. 

This weekend, I shall continue to frame the centres and hopefully get this one together before the end of the year. 

The baby quilt drive is moving along very well. My previous post shows a few finishes if you care to see. I'll try to get better pictures once the snow stops and we get some GOOD lighting for photos. 

Dr. Seam Ripper was called for an emergency surgery this week. He did an excellent job as always. 

Happy ending. 

Hope you are well and sewing to your heart's content. I should be back at work on Monday if this flu skedaddles out of here. So far none of the boys (husband included) are sick. 

Take care! ;^)
