Lunch Box Social

 If you are a quilter, then you know about designer Kim Diehl. She has dozens of books, patterns and fabric lines. Her "look" is quite popular, and has been for over 20 years. I own many of her books, and have lots of pages 'tabbed' for someday quilts.

One I have long wanted to make is Lunch Box Social, ever since seeing my friend Terry's way back in 2015. Yeah, that's a long time for wanting to make a quilt, and I don't have any good reason for delaying so long. I am sure I've had it on my yearly goals list since then, too.

And now I am finally going to do it!

I mentioned earlier this week that we will be having a Frienzies Sewing Day - well, it's today. And I have Lunch Box Social all ready to stitch. I even did some advance sewing by making all the 9-patch blocks ahead of time. Easy to accomplish as there are only 17 needed, and it gives me a good start on making progress today amidst the chatting, eating and fellowship. All the fabrics have come from my existing stash, and - get this! - I used some of those 1.5-inch scraps I've been cutting! 

I trimmed all the 'niners'  and now I am ready for the next step. Looking forward to getting a lot done today!

And before I go to Frienzies, I am going to spend a bit of the morning with the Frankfort Girls. Two sewing events in one day - gosh, crazy busy, right? I love both groups and can't stand missing either, so I will split my time between the two.

Have a great Friday!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
