I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, but I truly have been sewing as much as I possibly can. I’ve been very busy at work, and I just finished sewing some baby items for my friend’s twins…..so now I am doing what I really want to do, which is finish some projects that were started long ago!
I’ve had a Civil War Quilt my mom started and she asked me to finish for her…I did pretty good for a while and then I lost interest…..I have never really liked this quilt, so it’s kind of hard to get motivated to work on it…..but since my mom has passed away, it is calling my name and I just have to finish it. I’ve been talking to my mom as I sew on it, and it’s really been good therapy for me…..My mom had completed the center square which is set on point, and I am finishing the triangle shaped corners…quite a bit to do…but I’ve got the large outer blocks done and I’ve got 11 of the 16 smaller 7” blocks done….then it will be making 60 something 6 inch blocks for the border and sew it all together…I can see the end finally, and I know my mom is smiling! Below is a picture of what this quilt will look like.
And here are a few of the smaller blocks that go in the corners….
I’m still working on the wool applique, Aunt Evelyn’s Album…I am on month 9 of 12…this is just fun and very therapeutic to hand stitch around the wool….I like these colors too.
The 2 latest blocks from the Jo Morton Prairie Rose BOM I’m working on….over half way done now…
And the most exciting news is that I’ve gotten the Aunt Grace’s Garden Party quilt finished and given to my sister Susie….This is what she gets for cutting my hair!
……And for THE MOSTEST exciting news….I will have my Red Nolting longarm in about one month from now….that sure does make me happy!
Happy Quilting!
