Judy is having us do the check in again this year. Accountability is a good thing.

All I've done this week is work on some items. I've not finished much of anything. I've made 4 patches for a love quilt and will use my fabric for borders.

One of these days will be a big finish.

I did buy some fqs. I bought a lot to find lots of purple. Didn't find much of them, so gave the rest away and kept the purples. So, I'm in the hole for the month.

Butterflies in the Garden

Well, I finally got the blocks finished. I like the way they are coming together. Now, I'll be able to get the next step on time.

Butterflies in the Garden

Formerly known as Bears in the Farmhouse, I've now named mine Butterflies in the Garden.

I have 4 of 12 blocks made. The pieces are all done for the others, but I have to sew them together. That seems to be taking me a long time. I'm not sure why. Hopefully I'll be able to get the rest done tomorrow. I need to clean out the bobbin area first. Seems to need it right now and I've run out of bobbin thread and think it is the right time.

So, until tomorrow.

First Friday

Sometimes we go down to Seventh Heaven quilt shop for first Friday. But, Wanda decided to invite us over for a sewing time at her home. That was closer and we didn't spend any money. That is a good thing. She made us a wonderful dinner to start us off right. It was very relaxing for me.

Wanda worked on a quilt from an old scrap box and then started on
this one. She isn't sure what the pattern is, so she tried different things to get it to work.
Lana is working on a quilt to give to the association where we meet monthly. I will be quilting this one when she is done with it.
Ina is working on this table runnerShe got it ready to finish the applique.

It was the 4 of us and we all had something to work on.

I worked on Glenn's Love quilt and thought I'd get it ready to quilt, but I didn't like the choice of borders I brought with me, so I need to finish that at home.

I started to work on Doris' love quilt. I'm using the flower 4-patch swap and matching colors. This is not a good photo. The orange is actually pink. Lana called it an Aunt Ruthie quilt. So, that is what it is. I have the columns sewn together and will be working on the rows in the near future.

Today I'm working on the next step for Bears in the Farmhouse. I'm calling mine Butterflies in the Garden. I'll post a photo of the finished step and go from there.

HST done

Actually, I should have a few extra hst ready to make sure things are "balanced". I didn't press them open because of the bias edges. I find that I stretch them if they lay around too long, soooo.

I ended up pulling some extra colors from the things I chose at the beginning. WE shall see how this all turns out.

I made a St Patricks day postcard for a swap I'm and lots of little blocks for the love quilt. I did get the layout done, and am working on the clean up around my studio
