A Bit More

I have been doing bits and pieces  of sewing on a few projects lately. At  "Colorz For Quilts"  the quilt store I work for, we are gathering friendship star blocks in red and cream for a quilt  to donate to Habitat for Humanity.  If  we are lucky we might be able to make more than one! Every  block they donate  gives them the opportunity to put their name in a jar .  There are free directions given out at the store.  Brenda Peterson from the other quilt store , in town , told about this event last Saturday at her club meeting.  I bought some fat quarters and made a few, 14 to be exact. A couple were make do blocks.


I also did two more stars for Temecula's sew a long . I also decided to add the backround as I sew them, since I am now up to March 15th.


I will have to keep working on finishing the backround diamonds.

 I have also prepared some more pitchers to put on backround squares as you see here....


I had purchased a jelly roll of "Field Notes" by Blackbird Designs and had used part of it. I decided it was time to get rid of the rest of the roll.  I have started doing blocks of scrappy trip around the world. Here are a few blocks....






That is all I have to show for today, stop again and chit chat, 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.
