The Giraffes quilt is coming along nicely. I will probably have the top finished by my next update and perhaps even some quilting on it. Cathy, our long-time house cleaner, came into my sewing room and immediately smiled when she saw my design wall. Exactly !!

I’ve had curved blocks on my bucket list for some time now. Years ago, I tried making an orange peel quilt, but my skills were simply too unrefined and I abandoned the project with a promise to revisit curves again. Now is the time. I’ve signed up for an online class: “Curve College” put on by Brittany at Lo & Behold Stitchery. She has designed a lovely quilt with three different curved blocks: Drunkard’s Path, Orange Peel and Half Circle. The quilt is titled Retro Blossoms and I’ll be doing the hemlock (green) color way pictured here:

The class begins 4/29 and continues for 10 weeks. This class is self-paced; new modules drop each Monday with that week’s proposed activities. I’m very much looking for to this !!
