Keep on Stitching

 

The new year is well underway and I am getting lots

of stitching done this year!! We'd better use up all 

our new year style jokes while the year is young!

I'm also busy planning my stitching year ( loosely). 

All these square bits will be going together. 

This big stack of log cabins will make up 

two twin quilts and a crib sized quilt. 

The cute little stars ( 6 1/2" unfinished) will make 

great sparkle in some small quilts bordered with 

crumb strips from the block bank. 

Larger crumb blocks will also get small crumb borders. 

They may be too busy together so some solids or solid-look

fabric will be added to the mix . They are going together

in a nine patch pattern. 

These waffle blocks will have some fellows made and 

get finished up.  A basket by the sewing machine is 

full of little ends to make the pieced portions. This is a 

bit of an ongoing project.

The RSC 2024 is also in the mix.

There are three blocks in the mix with 

last year's finishing to do too. 

Here is the first RSC block of the year!

A  zipper block and a snow flake block will 

make great scrapbusters!

Linking up with a varity of bloggers really keeps me 

in touch and is a great inspriation for me. Try to 

visit them when you see a linking up with note, 

it is rewarding for them and fun for you!

Here is my record for stitching this year. 

1 

15 minujte days/week = 7/7 days

15 minute days/Jan = 13/15 days

15 minute days /20224  = 13/15

Sucess rate = 87%

I'm just going to report with a current total as I always miss the

 posting day. It is a reirement thing, sometimes 

the day of the week is just incidental.

 

Our tasks are what keep us on track. 

Here's looking forward to a wonderful stitching year!

Stay safe and sew on !

RSC 2024

When it's winter in Alberta, it's 40 below!

Well we're still in a deep freeze here,

when it's cold, quilter's quilt!

This zigzag's chevron quilt really took a nice

chunk out of my two and a half in strip box.

 The low volume, a fabric pile got a good hit too with

all the low volume alternate strips.

I chose to work on all eight columns at a time.

It was very easy and speedy

when the columns were shorter.

Once they got longer, they started to

hang over the back of the machine and

pull on the stitching.
Creative piling prevented that from being

an issue,and the end result is as you see here.

Today's temperatures are once again down,

hovering around −30.

It will another day for finishing up the chevron

quilt and possibly working on some

more outstanding projects.

Trimming up and then back on the wall.

Each column will finish at 61/2" wide,

but overall, it is a little bit narrowand

a little too short for a twin. I'll add one whole

column and put another section on each row

to finish the size around 58" wide and about 70' long.

This is not the final arrangement. There are

an odd and even rows so here is the new layout.

One row has a mind of its own, so it is

going to be the last row on the left.

Did you see it in the mix?

There is alway room for an odd fellow in my quilts!

I did find 2 really nice quickie quilts

to do while visiting my favorite blogs yesterday ,

so I will try to avoid those squirrels until later today.

I do love a chevron!
Stay safe and so on.
