then came end of Dec and Jan flu bug came to our house. I had 2 different kinds not fun still battling and ear problem. But back to sewing again.
I finished a large queen quilt for a customer and now it is ready for the quilt machine hopefully yet today. Quilted a customer large wall hanging and sent it off to her.
I have been working on Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. I have first 5 clues done. making progress
here are those clues
I needed to find a hand project that I could work on while sitting with a friend while she gets her chemo treatment every Tuesday. So I am doing 3D bow ties blocks using 5 inch squares. They are so fun and easy. I am not a big fan of hand work but I am liking these blocks. I had 2 charm packs of the same fabric so that is what I am using not sure what I will make out of them will determine that later.
I have been asked to teach a class in Olney IL and this is what I am going to teach Labyrinth by Debbie Maddy. this is a fun and easy quilt if anyone else would like me to come teach this at their quilt I would be happy to.
Then while at a retreat that I hosted beg of Jan a friend and I started making log cabin blocks from black and white fabric. We probably have been collecting fabric for 2 years. Black with white prints and white with black prints. We both got about 30 blocks made here are mine laid out trying to decide how big I want the quilt..
Then this last week I have been cleaning out some sewing stuff and seeing what I could finish. I found a few of these blocks made and 3 little bins of red, blue and white strips. So Weds at sew day at my house I worked on making more. I have 30 blocks done will put them together and donate the quilt to our local National Guard unit.
Well I think this is long enough and I need to go get busy. I am practicing with a new long arm ruler then need to get quilt in the machine.. It is sleeting here and cold so good day to stay in sewing room.
Happy Quilting,
Sharon Jack
