I worked on #1 at a retreat first few days of the year. I blocks and rows sewn together. It is Vintage Farm girl 1 blocks. Now to decide on border 2 book has it being flying geese like 100 of them not happening so just picking a plain border then adding another white one and calling it done ready to quilt. I think I am picking the red one let me know what you think.
also at retreat I got a Xmas wall hanging done ready for quilting. then I sewed 2 packs of cupcake recipe sheets using 4 charm packs 2 similar Kansas Troubles packs and 2 kona off white packs. i got them all sewn at retreat and couple blocks made they are going to be little. smaller than I expected but cute each sheet makes 2 blocks. They will be my sew day project. nice to have a project ready to grab and go sew.
I am trying to declutter my sewing room so going thru project boxes and totes seeing what is in them. I am making a list of all UFOs, kits, etc and where they are located. Boy way more that I thought a few I do not even remember starting. I have may sets of blocks from exchanges and BOMs that I have done over the years and just put them away. Hope to get some of them done this year. several will be donation quilts.
I also am trying to cut up my scraps since I got a accuquilt cutter and 2 1/2 inch strip die and 8 inch cube. I borrowed a 1 1/2 inch strip die from a friend so that I could cut up a bunch of scraps into this size strip for pineapple and court house step scrap blocks.
Here is what I did yesterday. I took a day to play for myself and try the cutter and embroidery machine. Home alone for the day let you get a lot of playing done.
Also I cut 2 1/2 inch squares for Traffic Jam quilt by Pat Sloan. this is my leader and ender project for now. made 4 patches and put together with some plain squares. so make 2 patches then into 4 patches. These will be for charity quilts.
While I was cutting scraps I decided to play with embroidery machine, so I made the Kimberbell demo day project. It was offered at LQS 3 Friday's in a row you watched a demo and got a part of the project. Here is what it made. Nice winter mini wall hanging.
Then decided to play some more and make a mini composition book cover. It was so easy will make some more and also make the regular size ones too.
I have not got any sewing done today due to errands and grocery shopping, but hope to be back at it tomorrow. Our weather forcast looks like a great 3 days of sewing/quilting for me.
Keep stitching,
Sharon J
