GETTING READY FOR THE WEEKEND

Our Third Saturday Group meets this Saturday! Yikes!! I had to get on the ball and sew up my third clues for the meeting. So yesterday that is what I did.....





Ok, so with that finished I thought I should work on my Thimblecreek block four. Got them finished just as I saw they gave block five out today! So here are my two block fours, each have one piece of cotton lawn in them.





                Guess I will work on number five tomorrow. 

 I didn't want to leave my watercolor quilt alone for to long,or I would forget all about it. Below is a pic of the blank canvas.

At first I was pondering the idea of hand applique....

I collaborated with hubby and two friends and came up with a different approach....

Wool applique, and with a crown of thorns hanging from cross. I now have to stitch it down ,quilt and bind it.  Wanda Hanson of "Exuberant Color" gave me the colorwash squares. She has such a wonderful collection!

 Well I am still hand quilting my Tula Pink diamond quilt, so it will be a while before I get to it. Later, Martha.

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
