Design Wall Monday

    I'm linking to

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday and Monday Making.

This just came down from the design wall.

I need to quilt it, but have other things on the machines I want to use. :)

This is a 100-patch block.

Three are done and one more is close.

I'm using them as leader/enders.

I'm slowly getting the T-shirts stabilized.

There are so many of them and I know putting this together is going to be challenging.

I don't like the stabilization process and I have had to make other things that HAD to be done before this.

 I made some masks for DD.

 

I made these three little trinket containers from this site.

They were easy to make.

The most difficult part was the darts.

I tried a couple of different widths of darts to get different results.

This football pillow is one of my UFOs

I am fairly consistent in working in my studio, both cleaning, and sewing.

I am in pulmonary rehab now two days a week, so I need to get my sewing time in during the mornings.

There are days when I am exhausted afterward and no sewing happens.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

  

I am working on a test bench runner using my scraps.

It is 100% scrappy.

I can't show a photo of that one.

The little trinket containers used 8" squares and came from the scraps.

I had one bad day.

The weather changed and my body was not liking the change.

I didn't do much of anything but stretch, sleep, and heat.

Studio Clean Up Challenge

Studio Clean up Challenge  is to

Choose one UFO to deal with.

I'm choosing a football pillow.

I have a 15" pillow form and will use it for the pillow.

I will donate it to the Grange so they can sell it for the grange youth program.

It's not a big one, but it is something to work with.

Design Wall Monday

   I'm linking to 

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday and Monday Making.

Years ago I made twins their own quilts from their own clothing.

Their favorite quilt was with 2" squares, so that is what we did with their quilts.

I had so much leftover and thought I'd make the Mom one with the boy and girl's clothing included.

I had 4-patches made with boy's clothing, so I'm adding the girls.

This is a 100-patch block.

I have one almost done and will add to them as I go along.

I'm slowly getting the T-shirts stabilized.

I don't like the stabilization process and I have had too make other things that HAD to be done before this.

I hope to focus on it next week.

This week is full of appointments and I will sew, but much less than normal.

This fabric came from my scrap drawers.

I am also working on a test bench runner using my scraps.

I can't show a photo of that one.

Update

I was told I needed to update my blog. LOL

So, here I am.

I've been going to doctor appointments and trying to get appointments scheduled.

So, my time has been filled with other than quilting.

I have spent some time test driving vehicles and decided on a 2022 Honda Odessy.

Of course, once you make a decision, you have to do all the paperwork.

It wasn't so bad, but...it's paperwork!

It's red!

I have driving a gray car for the past 21 years, so I'm ready for something new.

Isn't she pretty?

I get to pick her up on Friday.

I did quilt the Moda quilt and am binding it.

I've done so many bindings lately that my finger is sore. 

I don't like thimbles, but I'm wearing one when I bind now.

I've also bound 4 Quilts of Valor, but I don't have any photos.

I'm also working on two test projects, which, of course, I can't show photos of yet.

I make two Halloween postcards with a wolf inside a pumpkin.

Not much going on, but maybe more next week.
