So, I started another project

I had a severe migraine on Sunday and Monday. Today I still had a headache but at least I could function. I stayed in my pjs all day. But I was up. I needed to sew. But didn't want to have to concentrate on anything. So, I took my crumb box and grabbed a handful of crumbs and set them beside my sewing machine. I took two small pieces of fabric, one light, one dark and sewed them together. Cut them apart, ironed them and decided I should make quarter log cabin blocks. I decided to do them one colour each. Almost all the piece of fabric came from my crumb bin except for a few 1.5 inch pieces that were needed to finish a block. I made my blocks 4.5 inches. I couldn't go any bigger because most of my pieces were small. I really love my little blocks. 

I'm going to make a table topper quilt with these. I hope you like it. 

 

RSC 2017, week #1, purple

I'm joining in with RSC2017 this year. 

This month we are making purple blocks. 

The first one I made used a 16 patch block I made a few years ago. 

I added a border around it and hst's. I don't know a name for this block. It will finish at 12 inches. 

I have also made three tiny spool blocks. I was so inspired by the recent finished spool quilts by other RSC participants that I had to start one for myself. This will be a long term project. But these little blocks are so cute. I love them. 

I hope you join RSC 2017 too. 

 

 

Making progress on one UFO

I have done some hand stitching on my Millefiori quilt. 

I'm still working on Rosette #1. 

But progress is progress! 

I'm happy with how this rosette is coming along. 

I'm using all Art Gallery Fabrics. These have been in my stash for a while. 

I hope you like it so far.

My Sun Down quilt is done.

I'm excited to finally have this quilt done. This quilt is for my second oldest son Brad. He chose the name of the pattern. 

 

I'm not able to take outdoor pictures as it's very wet and muddy out. It's been raining here for several days. 

I had this quilt professionally quilted by Tammy Spencer. She did an amazing job. I love it. I will be washing this quilt today. I will share pics of it after it's washed.
