Monday night was my usual (closest) guild meeting. I came home charged & energized so had to take quite a while to settle before sleep came to me.
Pam Buda gave the program on “making do” along the lines of the pioneer women who had a limited supply of fabric. They often had to “make do” with what they had even if the colors weren’t all the same as originally planned. Honestly, doing this would make me CRAZY but I’m considering it.
Needing not one new thing, I came home with her Journey One of the Prairie Women’s Sewing Circle. There are patterns for 7 quilts, a pincushion, and prairie stories to go with each pattern.

Here are some photos from her program:
We had a great show & tell as usual! One of my dye class students was there with her daughter and the fabrics they have dyed! I was so thrilled to meet her daughter.
The mom is piecing these blocks with the daughter’s dyed fabrics. I think this is a super way to showcase the gorgeous fabrics.
and sew on... 
Sounds like a fun time. Beautiful quilts and love the hand dyed fabrics!
so fun! sounds like a great guild, as usual!
some of the family quilted bits I remember had colours that you wouldn’t necessarily choose to put together. When buying for my fabric projects I’ve often thought how different the plan is now 🙂
