What Was I Thinking -- The Reveal!
At our monthly meeting last May, my evening hand-sewing group embarked on a summer project called "What Was I Thinking?" The complete sentence would be, "What was I thinking when I bought this fabric?" We brought some fabric or fabrics that posed that question; the fabric was in a brown paper bag. Those who wanted to participate selected an unopened bag to take home to dream up a project over the summer. Of course, we had to show what we had received. Most times, the fabric was received with an outcry of "What were you thinking?"
Last night was "The Reveal." Kathleen had submitted some fabric with international flags on it, and Bonnie made her a matching pincushion and under-the-machine mat.

Bonnie had provided a piece of fabric that had a feather print all over it. Emily turned it into some terrific blocks that she plans to make into a wall quilt for Bonnie.
Helen's fabric came to me. It was a half yard each of six all-over fruit or vegetable prints. I knew immediately that this was to turn into placemats and I was delighted when there was enough left to make napkins, too.
The fabric that Emily brought was a couple of pieces of autumn tones, including some Kaffe Fassett prints. Kathleen almost finished turning them into a terrific handbag.
