Hurricane Helene and a Rainy Day

Hurricane Helene is hitting Florida as a category 2 hurricane. As you can see, here in the Charleston, SC, area, we are on the outer edge of the track, which as of right now, is projected to curve west and away from the coast.

But, tornado warnings are out, and hopefully we will get some rain but not too much. It is very dry.

For me, it will be a rainy day of sewing and some cooking chores.

It’s been a busy week so far–with the two monthly quilt meetings I attend happening right together, one at night and one the next morning. What a gift these meetings are!! Both are so full of energy and ideas and very nice people.

Here are SOME of the postcards we recently did at the Charleston Modern group–and mailed to the member whose name we got. Once again, the creativity soared. (I did the red churn dash with the little sheep in the middle, and I received the wonderful modern orange and green one on the lower right.)

I LOVE improv quilts, and I really loved this one shown at the modern group. It’s BIG and so fun. I really have to get out my box of orphan blocks and play with them on the design wall. There just isn’t enough time in every day!!!

I should take more pictures at these meetings, but I get involved emotionally with each and every quilt and think about taking a picture too late. Both groups put pics on their online group choices. Patchwork Gals is a private FB group, but you can see photos of quilts shown on the Charleston Modern Quilt Guild website if you are so inclined.

I got the binding on Pot Pourri 4, so I have hand sewing at night. Today I’ll work on the big half-square rectangle quilt to finish sewing it together. Then I’ll have design wall room again. LOL.

And now I need to make a quick trip to the grocery store before the rain and wind start in earnest.
