sew what's new?

I am a little closer to finishing my "Wooly Critter Sampler" quilt. I still have one block to finish and the border applique to prepare and sew down. But thought I would share some pictures of my progress so far... With small light blue border. I have applique group tomorrow, perhaps I will have more to show you then. Martha

On St. Patrick's day I went to " Colorz For Quilts "  quilt shop to see the " Wicked " book signing by Cherrywood . They also had some of the designers of the small wicked quilts there too, to autograph pics of their quilts. There were plenty of refreshments there also. Some Wicked jewelery, both a necklace and earrings! Some of the quilts are hanging, the rest are on tour in the U.S. This is Cherrywood owner Karla Overland speaking with Carol Wilson one of the designers in the book. Hers is the last one in the book.   Hope you got there to get your book and get it autographed! I have prepped my last block of Wooly Critter Sampler ! Now I just need to stitch it down! As you can see I have gotten a little more accomplished on my "Cloud Nine" small quilt by Kim Diehl.  I will save a little more news for later, Martha.

I finished another quilt  designed by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass. This one is called "Heritage Stars".All I have left is to hand sew the binding down.... So it is the "Walking Dead" and hand stitching the binding , this is my third binding this month! Linking up with    kathysquilts.blogspot.com/2015/03/slow-sunday-stitching-dont-bring-stress.html   Chatter later, Martha.  Also linking up with  . www.mrsssewandsow.blogspot.com

Yesterday our guild had a sew-in at the local church where we hold our meetings.  We had a variety of soups and breads and cookie bars  to help us get thru the day! None of us were left wanting for anything. I took a few pics that I will gladly share....    Val marking her half square triangles. Carol Lang finishing her binding. Terese Molby's placemats. Terese Molby Pretty cheater's cloth someone tied and bound. Sue Carrol working on a QOV quilt. Some of Karen Martin's Stitch Therapy Hexagons. Karen Martin working away. Sewing Away! On my bed. I put on a scrappy binding and  put it on my bed immediately! I also finished putting on the binding on my alphbet quilt.... And I got my cherrywood and vintage blossum one half way finished with binding.... I have also started another Kim Diehl quilt..... This one is called "Cloud Nine". Chatter with you soon, Martha.

We all have periods where we are bored and life seems to be either on pause  or definetly on slow  motion. Right now mine seems to be on fast forward and with some glitches. I make a docter's appt. a month in advance and then two days before the doc cancels.  I make an appt. for taxes and they cancel me too!  In other words I wish to move along at  a faster pace but no one seems to be accomodating. Such is life..... I have finished another Kim Diehl pattern "Village Square". I have a couple of picsfor you....                                           Bound and quilted. I finished my turtle block of "Wooly Critter Sampler". I have prepared two more blocks for stitching at night also. I also recently got back my flannel quilt from the quilter's (Laura Shogren) quilted this one.   only 1/3 of the quilt I have the bind...
