JUST TAKES 2

I FINISHED THE TWO BLOCKS WE WERE GIVEN ON FEB.1ST. AND HERE THEY ARE. 


AND MY GEESE


I WAS WORKING EARLIER TODAY ON A PROJECT FOR WORK.  ANOTHER BABY QUILT.  THIS ONE ALSO HAS A PANEL IN THE CENTER.  IT ALSO HAS PINWHEELS ,BUT NOT ORDINARY  RUN OF THE MILL PINWHEELS.  MANY OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD OF THREE D PINWHEELS.  I HAVE DONE THEM BEFORE IN A  PREVIOUS BABY QUILT HOWEVER THE PATTERN WAS WRITTEN BY ANOTHER PERSON.  I FINISHED 6 PINWHEEL BLOCKS WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS NOT COMING TOGETHER AT ALL WELL.


NONE OF THE CENTERS WERE MEETING LIKE THEY SHOULD!  LOOKING AT THE PATTERN  AND READING VERY CAREFULLY I HAD FOUND THREE MISTAKES .  I HAD ONLY READ HALF WAY THROUGH THE PATTERN.  EVERYONE CAN MAKE A MISTAKE , AND I DO MEAN EVERYONE. NEXT TIME WHEN THINGS ARE NOT WORKING OUT STOP AND READ THAT PATTERN VERY CAREFULLY AND MAYBE SLOW DOWN YOUR SEWING. NO ONE LIKES TO HEAR THAT PART.  SOMETIMES IT CAN BE THE PATTERN AND NOT YOU!  I STARTED TO REDO THE PINWHEEL BLOCKS THE WAY I HAD DONE THEM BEFORE AND WITH CORRECTED MEASUREMENTS; LOW AND BEHOLD I GOT THIS


ALL POINTS MEETING IN THE CENTER!  WAALAH!  A SENSE OF RELIEF WASHED OVER ME. I WAS NOT WACKY(NO RETORTS PLEASE).  I HAD MY AWHAW MOMENT TODAY.  NOW I HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND RIP OUT THOSE SIX BLOCKS.  ALL FOR NOW,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.
