Project Linus of Lower DelMarVa held 2 workshops this weekend for making blankets for the children we serve. At the Shorebirds Quilters' Retreat in beautiful Silver Beach on Friday, there were 30 ladies quilting by the Chesapeake Bay. What a view and such perfect weather!! I presented directions and a demo of 2 quilt patterns. Zip Strip by Prairie Sky is a colorful "Fun & Done" quilt-as-you-go pattern which can use up some of your small pieces of stash fabric. Any age child would love this bright quilt with colors that dance across the blocks!

The other pattern is "Basically Kids Stuff" a scrap-happy free pattern on the Connecting Threads website. I pre-cut the squares and rectangles with scraps. The 3 1/2" squares are all from leftover dog and cat prints.

The ladies in charge of this event had high tea for all of us at 3 pm. Such a clever idea to have an assortment of tea cups and saucers for us to keep. The Irish tea was wonderful, Regina! I've been bragging on you!

Saturday there were 13 ladies at Salem UMC in Pocomoke. We were prepared to teach the same 2 blocks as the day before, but the crochet teachers held everyone's interest! Thank you Debbie Quick and Anne Bottino.
