Mona, I really want to join but will need to let you know for sure on Monday. I am getting a 2nd opinion on my thumb/wrist and as long as he doesn't say I need surgery, I would love to be part of the new group if there is still room. I am fine with international as well. I'll keep you updated.
I've had 2 cortisone injections in different places and neither has helped at all. The first doctor said there isn't really anything else we can do. It isn't that I want to have surgery, but I would like to see if the second doctor has any other ideas. I figure if I have to live with the pain I might as well have fun sewing and the last Round Robin was a bright spot for me in my sewing room.

Sounds good, hope you get good news.

Mona, It's GORGEOUS!!!
My DH has asked for a Barn pictorial quilt centre... (he's american)
So I've had to get my sketch book out and all my scraps to see what I could come up with... No pressure ladies!! 🤣
Not sure how it's going to look, we'll see...

Mona that looks great! I have always wanted to make that block but no matter how many times I've tried I can't get the curved seams to lay flat.
I have a block picked out (thinking positive that I can participate!)...it is called Entwined Star. It is only 12" so I'll either do the math to make it 18" or add borders...it will be done in shades of red w/black. My plan is to use it as a quilt for my daughter.

Jacquie, that is turning out great! I was hired to make a wall hanging using some fabric the lady had gotten. I used the "hole in the barn door" block. I am in Iowa which is a big farming state so sure I'll be able to find some fabrics that will work well.
