Our Stitch and Bitch quilt group was started in 1990 in Silver Spring, Maryland. We started out as a group of 4 women who worked for a consulting firm with a very visible glass ceiling. We've long ago left that consulting firm and have added more members to our group. We still get together once a month for a great time of bitching and stitching.
I bought a bag of purple strips at a Block Party Quilt show a couple of years ago. During my vacation to Maui, I sewed the strips together to make 6.5" squares. The strips were of varying widths (approx 1 inch to 2.25 inch). I found this excellent Kaffe Fassett orange floral with purple plums at Quilting Loft near my house. The center is 42" x 48". I want to add a purple floral as the border.
Jenny, Michelle, Frank and I had a SUPER time whale watching off of Maui.
