It was a dull as well as lazy twenty-four hours yesterday. The solely affair accomplished was sewing-related. Since at that topographic point are leftovers for the adjacent 3 night's worth of dinners, I await the residuum of the weekend volition endure spent similarly slothfully.
First, I stitched upwardly the forepart of the latest barn.
Now I've moved the hoop a picayune lower to capture some grass as well as flowers at the bottom. Those should stitch upwardly pretty quickly, as well as thus I'll endure ready to deed to the left to capture the residuum of the barn. This ane isn't equally densely stitched equally some of the others I've done. It powerfulness endure finished inward the adjacent few days.
After that, I moved on to the instant Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt for 2019. These are the pinkish blocks for the Paintbox Pizzazz quilt. Four blocks require sixteen one-half foursquare triangles that induce got been trimmed to 5-1/2 inches. (These blocks could endure made inward whatever size.)
Those are sewn into pinwheels.
Then paired upwardly amongst 3 1/2-inch blacks as well as whites...
to brand snowballs. And thus they are finished. This is a neat chip quilt. The blocks become together quickly. It powerfulness endure fun to brand this ane inward mixed colors amongst a company for the corners.
After that, I pulled out this pathetic quilt that has been waiting, literally, for years to endure patched. Quite some fourth dimension ago, I made this flannel quilt I telephone vociferation upwardly Salt Water Taffy.
It was made amongst scraps from many sources. Each fourth dimension I launder it, unlike pieces fray apart. I've patched it twice before. When it came apart for the tertiary time, I had run out of the stuff from the backing, as well as thus I laid it aside piece I idea most how I was going to field it. That was most 4 years ago. Yesterday, I was earthworks simply about inward a box of scraps when I came across some other large slice of the backing fabric. Well, I could induce got patched it earlier now, but it seems a practiced plenty excuse that I've waited this long piece I looked for the scraps of backing fabric. And thus I fixed it. The quilt was tied inward the beginning, as well as thus simply for fun, I position a picayune necktie inward the middle of the field too.
It's sewn on past times machine, as well as here's how it looks from the back.
It has v patches now, giving novel pregnant to the give-and-take "patchwork." Or mayhap there's zero novel most that usage of the give-and-take at all. The quilt is nonetheless equally cozy equally ever. I recall I powerfulness similar it fifty-fifty ameliorate amongst its patches.
I made some other quilt similar it called "My Stars as well as Garters." It likewise was made amongst scraps from diverse sources, as well as I've had the same problems amongst it.
In this former weblog post, I talked most how I patched it. And here's how it stands. I await I'll endure patching it some to a greater extent than inward the hereafter too.
With that finished, I moved on to my concluding "monthly." These are the July blocks for the Garden Sunshine sew-along. I induce got the background blocks sewn together amongst their flight geese. Today I'll add together some applique flowers to each.
My kitty was my constant companion as well as resident expurrt during yesterday's sewing session.
Today I'll complete off the Garden Sunshine blocks, as well as thus I'll larn a start on quilting the Solstice to Solstice quilt. I'm hoping I tin complete it off this week. We induce got a camping ground trip planned adjacent week, as well as hand-sewing the binding would endure a practiced take-along project. Also, I should likely start working on the adjacent block for the Dancing Chickens as well as Flying Pigs quilt. It's adjacent on my embroidery list, but I request to brand upwardly the applique block first.
