A Small Interuption

I've had a small interuption to my sewing from the 2 1/2" box. Nothing major, needed a new iron that would produce a lot of steam! Better Homes and Garden highly recommended a CHI iron with 1700 watts and a titanium ceramic plate. Price was reasonable, so i succumbed.  I have had two Oliso irons and have been dissappointed in them both.  Rowenta is fine, I've had one of those, just thought I'd try something different.


So far so good! Lots of steam with a lot of holes on plate. Not real heavy either!
I've made all the block parts for my scrap quilt. With 24 of each piece made, I'm ready to start tommorrow putting it together.




                These are the first two rows sewn together.

 There was also a slight pause in my quilt sewing, because of a little squirrel sewing. Some placemats got into my way and I got a bit nutty about them. Couldn't stop at one but managed to get out four.




On the plus side, I did use up some of the scraps from previous quilts and some scrap leftover binding in the 2 1/2" box.

 Looks like a nice day outside, in the 60's and sunny! Stay protected, stay inside and wear your mask! 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.
