Tonight was my monthly quilting bee meeting. Before savoring scrumptious cheesecake, we shared projects we're working on or other sewn treasures.
My friend Sondra shared this family heirloom quilt, at left, circa 1890. She's recreating it using modern fabric, such as the block at right. I can't wait to see the completed project!

To continue our apron theme from last month (it was a little more low-key this time around), my mom brought an apron that her mom sewed using a popular pattern in the 1960s. It was so popular, in fact, that Carol brought one from her family that's nearly identical:
Sondra also shared a quilt that she made using a variety of batik fabrics, including some that she bought in Alaska. This is my favorite portion of it. (It reminds me of one of the coolest sights Brian and I saw on our recent vacation: A mama black bear and her two bear cubs crossing the scenic byway in a national forest.)
