Work In Progress

I’ve wanted to make this jellyroll quilt for years!  It’s called “Tilt” and I’ve been saving a Mary Engelbreit jellyroll for it!

Yogi was happy to be back in the sewing room!

I love playing with the fabrics and deciding which strips to put together!

After sub-cutting the strips, we have a stack of pieces for  the frame block and one for the pinwheel blocks.

Yogi is getting bored today and is itching to go outside …

now that the rain has stopped!

                       So that’s it for now!

More to come!!  What are YOU working on???

 

Busy Bee Day!

Yesterday was our bee day for October!  and it was at my house!  Such fun!!

We don’t all work on the same project.  We each work on whatever we want to.  I usually try to do handwork at bee so I don’t need to lug around a machine.

We do so much talking that I have learned NOT to do any cutting at bee!  I always make a mistake because I’m not paying close enough attention… so I end up wasting fabric!  So, I NEVER cut at bee!

I sewed down the binding on my Christmas quilt!  So, another UFO completed!!  YAY!

We had warm coffee cake when folks got here at 9am and snacks in between then for lunch we had white chicken chili and some awesome apple raisin bread with chocolate cake for dessert!  YUM!

Work in Progress

I am quilting a Christmas top I made at last fall’s quilt guild retreat. 

I bought the kit for the quilt several years ago at our local annual quilt show, but didn’t get the top made until retreat last fall.

I  love the vintage look of these fabrics.  It’s a very 50’s vibe!!  And being that I was born in the 50’s, it seems like HOME to me… like Christmases of my youth!!

We’ve got bee on Saturday here at my house, so I’ll hand sew the binding down then!  I can’t wait!!  Woo hoo!!
