English Paper Piecing on-going project and MSQC stars

Still working on my English Piecing Project. I may be 2/3 of the way done with the top, but it is slow going. For a break, I have to switch to a sewing machine project which is the most relaxing thing for me. I love to put a piecing project together. It is like working with a puzzle, and I can get so involved that I lose track of time and place. This weekend I got two stars from a Missouri Star Quilt Company project completed and have most of the centers done as well. Playing cards this afternoon and I have a bus trip on Tuesday. It is nice to be retired, but I find I have less quilting time than used to have when I worked every day.

A little history and older quilts

I am adding some earlier quilts I worked on with the Scholarly Stitchers - a quilt group at the Kansas State University Library.  I started this group with a friend, Julie Rashid, in 2001.  We met almost every week where I taught techniques until many in the group became really good quilters on their own. We made several quilts for fund raisers for the library through the years.
