Hi everyone,
I've been pretty productive lately.
Today, I got block #4 and #5 of the Blackbird Gathering quilt designed by Cheri Payne prepped for hand stitching.
I also made the log cabin blocks that are part of the pattern. I made them in the style of courthouse steps instead. I got the top all sewn together.
I love how is turning out.
I'll stitch the last two blocks, then I'll be able to quilt it.
In other news, I bought a second hand Gracie quilting frame.
It's the first version of this frame.
I finally set it up in my sewing room today. I had to rearrange all my stuff to make it fit. I haven't tried it yet. But hopefully I'll be able to try it out soon.
Right now it's great to hang Quilts in progress. I hope you all had a great weekend.

I love how your blocks came out, I still need to make the last ones and the blocks, so I better get busy.
Wonderful frame, looks beautiful in the room too.

Your Blackbird Gathering looks fabulous. I love how the courthouse steps creates a "diamond" around the center block.
That's a lovely quilt Ariane. Have fun with your new toy!
Lovely 💖💖
LOVE your Blackbird Gathering!!! Your sewing room is wonderful...and your new frame fits perfectly! Your CROW QUILT (hanging on the frame) is magnificent! Is this Karen's pattern? Gorgeous!!
That's a fabulous quilt. I do love homespuns and they shine in this one!
What a bright and cheery place to sew too. Perfect place to retreat to.

Love the quilt! Enjoy the new quilting frame!
Your top looks great - and yay for setting up your quilting room, hope it works great for yoU!
Great job!!!!
LOVE your Blackbird Gathering blocks! And congrats on the frame - it looks right at home:)
Oh Ariane, this quilt is coming along SO beautifully! Your work is gorgeous. I love the choice you made of Courthouse Steps as background. Yippee! on a quilt frame! Will you set your machine on it, or purchase one dedicated to just quilting? Love the peak into your sewing space...ahh, one day I hope to get something a 'leedle' more esthetically pleasing than throw-rug-covered cement floors and vapour barrier walls, LOL.
I too love your blackbird gathering!! Enjoy your new frame!!!PS: I'm one of your newest followers and added yours to my sidebar blog list. SMILES! V
