100 Modern Quilt Blocks Sew Along

 A friend and I are joining the 100 Modern Quilt Blocks Sew Along.

Block 5
Block 4
Block 2
Block 2
Block 1

I'm using my floral scraps (there are a lot of them).
I decided to use green in each block to help with some consistency.
It seems I am using pink a lot. LOL
I think we are supposed to make 5 each week, normally one a day.
But, I know me and I doubt I'll be able to get one done a day, so I decided to make the week's worth in one day.

Organizing challenge

Prairie Moon does a monthly organizing challenge.

January's Challenge is to Put Away Stray Fabric.

I keep the pieces from when I'm working on a project in a bin.


It is overflowing.

I'm not sure when I'll tackle this because I need to finish a couple of other things first.

working away

This UFO has been around since before 2017.
But DD wanted it changed to green and brown, so this is what it is.
It needs to be quilted.

I have a birthday postcard swap.
I finished the 14 cards I need for the year.
I'm ahead for once.

A memory quilt that has many different pieces of clothing in it.
Now, to get it sewn together and quilted.
I have at least three more out of these memory items.
I don't know if I am going to add a border.

All Day Sewing

I had a great sewing day.

I worked on the Wolf wall hanging before I spent the day quilting with a friend.



I got the tops done for the inspirational embroidery and one quilted.

My Mom had me make these many years ago.

I finished one for her, and now these might go to her grandchildren, who have a couple left over.


I put together an Easter top with a chicken and two eggs.
I now need to quilt all of these.

Day 6 - Archives 

I don't have many archives anywhere but my computer.

I've thought about making a memory book for some photos, but it's not a priority.
