Pinetree Patchworkers Block Exchange

There are ten members from our guild who have joined together to do a monthly block exchange. Wednesday was the first meeting where we were to bring our finished  blocks to that months recipent, which was Carol Nelson.  I had to work that day so I will be bringing mine to guild meeting on Monday.  I intend in making one block of each month's  challenge for myself as a personnel record of our endeavor.  This is a pic of my first month's challenge for myself....


Kathleen Hughes has the second month block exchange challenge and she stopped by the store and gave  Denise and I her directions.  I finished her blocks  after work yesterday and they are here....


The brown fabric squares are focus fabric that she wanted each person to use in their blocks which she provided.  Now I need to make a block for myself.

 Victoria Findlay Wolfe also known as Bumble Beans asked if people who knew her, met her, took a class from her, etc. would make her an autograph block ( signature). She gave dimensions and requirements on her blog and I mailed that off today also.  I used Cherrywood in it.

 I am headed for my sewing room to start "Something Blue" by Pam Buda. I will show a pic when I have some thing finished at least partway. Chatter 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.
