well I continued sewing yesterday, I finished up the clues for Bonnie Hunter's mystery we are up to 5 clues waiting for Friday's clue. then I decided to cut the first two blocks of Edyta Sitar's new book which is written like a Block of the Month 4 of us are going to do it together this next year. Wow lots of small pieces.. I have first 2 done and in baggies ready for the retreat this coming weekend. Our small quilting group, has been going on a retreat starting on New Year's Day this will be our 3rd year. first 2 were in Paducah Ky at the Quilt in a Day retreat center this year we are going to Springfield, Ill Closer to home and they feed us instead of us taking meals.. So looking forward to getting a lot of sewing done and lots of friendship.
Today I decided to put applique blocks into a quilt top. this project has been a long time UFO i wanted to learn needle turn applique and these were 9 large blocks and not many small pieces. I learned I didn't really care for needle turn applique but persevered to finish it. It is ready for the outer border but I need to find the right shade of dark red so it will need to wait until I find it.
Here is a picture of it without the last border.
happy sewing,
sharon J
