This is the weekend of my 50th class reunion! How did I get so old? We're on the road to my hometown in Minnesota. I grew up in a "Leave It To Beaver/Father Knows Best" kind of small town - in the 50s and 60s and 70s. And I attended school from kindergarten through graduation with some of the same people I'll see this weekend.
Last weekend, I cut the parts for 18 of these Beads blocks for our Quilt of Valor group's newest block drive. I sewed them easily this week, because block takes about 5 minutes to make. And then I cut out and sewed 2 more for an even 20.
Our QOV group will hopefully end up with enough of these blocks for 2 or 3 quilt tops. It takes 41 for each quilt in the layout we plan to use, which is on-point in vertical rows like a string of beads.
is the old town still the same and still a nice Leave it to Beaver town or has it changed a lot - I never kept up with the people or did the reunions from where I went in Wisconsin I graduated in 1970 - left shortly after graduation and as the family moved around the same time I never went back
ReplyDeleteNice collection of blocks. I haven’t made any with that pattern, but it’s on my list. My class had ten students many of which attended all twelve years together. I haven’t been to a reunion in years.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your hometown and class reunion. I'll celebrate 25 next year, but we're going back for the celebration next weekend. The kids will participate in their 4-H activities.
