Two Big Starts.

Crow Wing county fair starts this Tuesday and runs thru saturday , August 2nd.  Minnesota shop hop starts on Friday , August 1st.  I took my entries to the fair today early so that I might concentrate on my sewing today! I am volunteering to sell raffle tickets for our guild's raffle quilt on thursday and friday  at the fair.

 Now to my sewing... at first I started off with some  2 1/2" squares , some half square triangles and some four patches.


I only had to make twelve blocks! I positioned them in the order I wanted them, with three rows of four.......


Once I had them arranged and put together,  I quilted and bound the 18 1/2" by 24 1/2" small quilt. Here it is finished....


This quilt is called "Meandering " by Kim Diehl.  I am sure I will be chattering with you this week , 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.
