We picked up MIL, a friend from the Natives came and an old friend of BIL&#8217;s came. That was it. The Young Man was disappointed that his cousins didn&#8217;t attend. Since BIL got sick, he is not up for a large event. He said he misses the larger BBQ, especially seeing friends, they used to host, but it just wasn&#8217;t possible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18946\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18946\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/PICT3831sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18946\" alt=\"EPP Stars May &amp; June\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/PICT3831sm-300x194.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/PICT3831sm-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/PICT3831sm-1024x663.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EPP Stars May &amp; June<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since the event was small, I had a bit of space to spread out. I finished one EPP star and started and finished another. I was pleased to be able to do a little sewing even though I was away from the machine. It was nice, because I could participate in the conversation. I also made a bit of a sensation. People were really interested in my project. The Natives friend, Dave, brought his girlfriend, Teri. She asked a lot of questions about the process and what I did with the quilts, etc. I encouraged her to look into a class. I doubt she will do it, but I always try and encourage people to learn to quilt.<\/p>\n<p>This group of stars also makes me wonder if I should continue with my plan to have alternate rows be dots on white or if I should make alternate rows warm and cool colors.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the last stars I worked on in a May <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/a-week-away-and-some-quilting-pt-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, as you may know, was the Fourth of July in the US.
