It dropped a degree while I was trying to take the picture!
Well the season is progressing and the quilt projects are also progressing.
I just finished two pillows for P & B Textiles for the up coming Spring Market. Don't know if I can show you, so I won't until I hear it is ok to do so. But it has been fun working on these projects the last month or so.
In between, I have been sewing bindings on "Grand Illusion", this year's Bonnie Hunter Mystery,
and this little blue number from almost ten years ago!
I am finally getting into the deep UFO Stash and beginning to clear out some things.
Of course I continue to add new projects.
Here is a picture of the newest scrappy block. It is called "Idaho Square Dance" and is from Bonnie Hunter's Addicted to Scraps column in the May/June issue of Quiltmaker. I want to make 49 blocks at least. I haven't decided how to set them, but that is still a long way off since I only have 5 blocks done.
Also waiting for a few hours of sewing time are the following projects that need just a little more attention before they are complete.
Surf and Sand, a pattern from McCall's Quilting.
My project from Sue Pelland's which I took in April.
I am also waiting for a few continuous hours so I can sew some finished blocks together.
This group of blocks used 3 inch squares and is also being done in the 2 inch size. The three inch blocks are completed but I am still working on the two inch ones.
My blocks from a Ninigret workshop in April are waiting to be assembled into a quilt.
"Strip Twist" Blocks made from 2.5 inch strips. This is a free pattern from Bonnie Hunter and is found on her website under the free patterns tab.
Well the temperature outside has now dropped to 76 degrees. But it is still a sunny day. Hopefully the allergies stay under control or I might not be doing any sewing, just sneezing and blowing my nose!
Until next time...
Happy Sewing and Creating
