sew what's new?

  I have finished the last four blocks and have played around with placement. Here are some pics to show with my progress.... See the sashing on the bottom row has been started! I have also been working on my handwork at night, with my Lucy Boston quilt. All for now,chatter more later, Martha.

  I have been finished with my embroidery blocks for a while now , so I have picked up an older project to finish up. My Lucy Boston has been in the closet for some time. I have finished two more blocks in my night time sewing. Work is progressing on my pieced  blocks  for "Winter Wonderland" quilt. The nice weather makes everything brighter even our spirits! Chatter later, Martha.

I have finished my backing and top to my "Amish revolution" quilt. I also finished one more block of my Lucy Boston quilt.  I have also made two more halloween table runners... front back front back We'll talk later, Martha.

My son and granddaughter are coming for a visit this week! I am very excited! So the posts will be slow this week. Yesterday in the post I received the pattern " Mosiacs" from Irene Blanck Of "Focus on Quilts". She has some simply lovely patterns you should take the time to see. See here   www.focusonquilts.com.au/patterns  Maybe you will find your masterpiece to work on.   I worked on my Lucy Boston from Red Brolly's Stitchin Club. The New  York City Modern quilt guild is sponsering  a double wedding ring challenge.   I only have to make four conjoined blocks  for the traditional entry and layer and quilt. See  bumblebeansinc.blogspot.com   and see July 18th post. So this is the start of my double  wedding rings.  I have eight more arcs half way done. I am useing   "Field Notes" By Blackbird Designs by Moda.  I purchased a jelly roll . Hope that is enough for the four blocks. I am also ...

I  needed a change of pace ,  some time to catch on other things too.  So now I have a pic of the next block  of our summer buck blocks... .. Also Sherri falls of " Little bits of This and That" which you can find here  has begun a new sew-a-long for fall (pumpkins and all you know). I finished the quilting on my "Runners Rock" table topper and am now sewing on the binding. I received my fall issue of Primitive Quilts and had to of course sit and read it immediately! Don't you just love it! So much in just one magazine, so way above the rest. Also I have been keeping a little something from you.  I have added another hand project to the mix of things to do while watching BAD television.  Lucy Boston 's POTC (Patchwork of The Crosses)  has joined the mix. I only have just begun, and I just can't sew fast enough! I only have two blocks partially done , but I thought I would  reveal them because it is so hard for me no...
