Sewing

Yes I have been doing some sewing, this pesky rain doesn't let you do much more. Going to Minnesota State Fair on Thursday , thank goodness no rain predicted .  It has helped my zucchini plants.

 I finished appliqueing and trimmed down my first block for Lori Holt's "Autumn Love".  


And I have been slowly working on my Quilt of Valor quilt.   It is for my husband's uncle who is 96 years old, and served during WWII  as a 1st Lieutenant in the 101st Airborne as a paratrooper.  He was sent to the Eagle's Nest in  Berchtesgaden, Germany. This is where Hitler entertained  high ranking officers and those close to him. He did not live there though.
Just kept on making blocks.
Three rows, but not sewn together yet.
All sewn together, just needs pressing.
I have purchased the backing and have sewn it together.  Now I must make a label and press it tomorrow.  Hopefully by Friday I will have it at quilter's. Chatter later, Martha.

  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.
