This week so Far

Well I got one customer quilt quilted between Monday and Tuesday. It was a custom quilting job so I made the quilting pattern from the cross stitch blocks in the quilt and rest from a picture customer brought me.  Now it needs to have the paper taken off and threads trimmed then it is getting a prairie point edge on it instead of a binding.   The second one goes in the machine today to do similar quilting on it and edge.  I will post a picture of they have been delivered.

Both evenings I have been working on making 6 inch finished log cabin blocks from 1 1/4 inch strips for a project that I took from Kaye England in Paducah this year.  I have gotten the 24 blocks done that were in neutral and pinks. I have 8 blocks to make of all neutrals.   Getting all the parts done so that I can put it together.
here is the pile of strips that I \ used.  I had to cut a few more strips to get the variety I wanted.

here is the blocks that I made. 

well I am off to mark and put the other quilt in the machine for quilting today..

Happy stitching

Storm at sea table runner

well at my daughter's since Thursday. She had surgery so staying with her so son-in-law could work and go camping today and tomorrow with my husband and grandsons..
I brought sewing projects to work on while she was resting.  I got the storm at sea table runner done. It is paper pieced  for  class in July.  Took awhile to take all the paper out this morning. 

 now onto the next project.  I have many parts and pieces to make a storm  at sea quilt

Or I can work on a diamond painting project  or stitch on my needlepoint bell pull projec . That is me oldest UFO of about 30 years. Just wish it was done but do not like to work on it. But it is getting close to being done. My mom bought it for  me  so feel like I need to finish it. 

Well off to work on something

Happy stitching
