AN ADVENTURE

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON A LITTLE ADVENTURE TODAY.  WE BOTH HAD THE DAY OFF WORK AND DECIDED TO GO SPEND THE DAY IN ST. CLOUD.  IT IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY AND WE HAVE ONLY DRIVEN AROUND IT NEVER THRU IT.  WE HAD A VERY GOOD TIME. I PICKED OUT ONE SHOP I WANTED TO GO TO.  HE PICKED OUT THREE  AND FOUND ANOTHER ONCE WE ARRIVED.  WE ALSO HAD LUNCH AT RED LOBSTER. MY HUSBAND LOVES BOTH FISH AND SEAFOOD.  ESPECIALLY AROUND CHRISTMAS!  SO I GUESS YOU KNOW BY NOW MY SHOP WAS A QUILT SHOP; AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!


I PURCHASED A 1/4 YD. OF STAR FABRIC SO THAT I CAN MAKE BLOCK #51,NEW YORK OF BARBARA BRACKMAN'S  BLOCK OF THE WEEK.

 THREE REDS ,ONE BLUE AND ONE BLACK CIVIL WAR PRINTS.


I PICKED OUT THESE PATTERNS WHICH SUPPOSED TO BE HAND PIECED AND/OR HAND APPLIQUED.  GRANDMA SHIRLEY WAS THERE , I MET HER ,  AND I GOT TO TALK WITH HER. I FOUND HER QUITE INTERESTING. 


I HAVE MET THE LADY WHO DID THIS PATTERN AT THE MINNEAPOLIS QUILT SHOW.  I HAVE DONE SOME OF HER EMBROIDERY AND CRAYOLA FABRIC COLORING AND ENJOYED THE PREVIOUS PATTERNS. ALL TOGETHER IT WAS A GOOD DAY AND I ENJOYED SPENDING THE DAY WITH HUBBY.  

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY , SEW A LITTLE!  MARTHA

Onward!

  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.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
