Christmas In July

Been working on my Christmas list. How about you? Do you start early too?  This year my pet projects will be aprons ,dish towels, pot holders and small table toppers and coasters. Kind of a kitchen theme I guess. I so far have made two aprons both reversible .
Pocket on this one.


Then apron number two.....
Has two towel holders on each side and two pockets on each side.
Other side is red with light black wrought iron print.


Then  there is the dish towel, only one done so far.....
Hexies of course
I have also finished my Buck Block for the week.  Hard to believe we are half way thru  already. With six down and six more weeks to go.


I still have not decided on which setting to do yet. But I do still have time.  Sorry for the dark pics. I will try to do better. It is dark ,rainy and gloomy today. Even the flash doesn't brighten it up.  Chit chat later,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.
