Hello To Twilight!

 Fall has descended here in Alberta

and morning sun comes up much later.

Time to readjust to less daylight! The 

bonus is we do have a beautiful twilight,

just enough light to see hovering over 

everything just before night arrives. 

Great time of year!!!

Anyhoo, second retreat done and dusted!

I got some things done, some not but had

a great time replenishing the soul with old and 

new friends!!

I got my Softer Granny Squares together. 

One block decided to stay home for the 

weekend so this will be finished assembly 

when that is located. 

Stitched up a bunch of scrap 16s with some 

good conversation while we were all setting up. 

I will try to use this as a stop and go project, usually 

those projects always end up as a rabbit hole and I 

jump in and sew most of it up in a weekend. 

 I just can't help it! 

    Also made some great progress on my pineapple blocks.

So bright and colorful that I may set a goal for spring time 

finish just so I can brighten up the bedroom!!

Of course on late retreat evening, the stars came out. 

Cute little scrap blocks got sewed up from my new scrap bag. 

Never short on scraps when quilters are around!

 I came home with this! Thank you Buddies!

 My walking buddy rescued some cut-offs, 

made white center wonky stars and created this little beauty! 

These stars are so much fun and so versatile!

Stay safe and sew on !!

Coming Along Nicely!

 Summertime is so busy and time 

passes so quickly!  Look at the size 

of these teenagers!  No bird flu here, 

fat and sassy birds all around. 

Great progress on the Kid's String Stars. 

All the borders are complete. 

Here is a little status report.

Top 1 is complete, top 2 needs the final 

border added. Top 3 needs 2 borders added

and Top 4 needs 4 more stars finished, 

joining and the borders added.  

The final borders are 2 types. Tops 1 & 2 are 

crumb borders. They use up scraps but 

I really have a lot of crumbs!

The other are 1/2 square sawtooth borders. 

My box of 1/2 is still very full, but no more 

square were made in the making of these borders!

A long weekend with; a dinner out, overnight

camping, gold panning, a lunch out,

 and 2 family member visits, 

really cut into my stitching time!

I did pull out some colorful crumb blocks and they 

may get sewn up this month for a teen quilt. 

There are a few orange blocks to go in too!

August RSC color is orange, woot woot!

Jumping into sewing this morning and disaster, 

my machine gave me an E4 code!  It 

usually means despair as it is a software error. 

A bit of searching on Dr. Google and it 

turns out there was fluff in my thread cutter! 

Great save!  I cleaned out the goo around the small,

black plastic sprocket and it worked! Look at 

all the fluff that I got out!

Let's all clean up our fluff and stitch up for August!

Stay safe and sew on!
