We do love the Holiday season, don't we?
A very busy week here but our big family
Christmas happened and now we will
scatter, visiting , partying and Christmas
cheering all over the country and out of it!
Here is a beautiful set of hot pads I received
from my great walking buddy. She is very
talented, and always turns her scraps into gems!
No new stash report, but lots of items gifted
both to those in need and friends and family.
So enjoyable to give gifts of quilts.
I did promise a bit on my sew day progress.
Another sew day coming up too!
The black log cabin, 3 of 4, is well on the
way to receiving a black strike it border.
There was a drawing of the border for the last
top but it will remain a mystery for now,
( okay, I just can't find it under the wrapping paper!)
Sew day afternoons, are always a bit of a wind down
and I had a pleasant time stitching up a nice
stack of Teri Rowland blocks.
600 are needed for a full sized quilt and I am
a third of the way there. The little 3 1/2" blocks
are addictively fun to make.
The center of a wonky tree runner
went together surprisingly fast ,
but I ran out of background fabric
so it became a very raw edged
addition to our festive table.
Very fun projects. The black log cabin looks so much like stained glass. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are fun to make . That must be why I have enough blocks for four tops! Have a great week!
DeleteI was trying to decide if the 3.5" blocks are improv -- I decided they are. And then I thought way too small for me to make. HA! I realize I'm making little blocks out of 1.5" x 3.5" rectangles. Maybe when (or if) I ever finish those blocks I'll try mini squares. Looks like you've had a wonderful Christmas so far. I haven't wrapped one present yet! But soon. Luckily our family does it all on 12/25. Hope the rest of the season is as enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time, I really enjoy all the family and events in December.
DeleteTeri Rowland blocks.....I will have to look more into those
ReplyDeleteThey are very fun to do.
DeleteSounds like your season is well underway! Love those improv blocks so much. Also love that you used your unfinished table runner to decorate the table because I've done that too! No matter, it will soon be finished. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2023/12/13/wednesday-wait-loss-358
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday season!
DeleteYou've been busy, busy, busy! But then, that's what quilters do, keeping on stitching away.
ReplyDeleteI really love your improv log cabin blocks, Deb! They really do look like stained glass. Thanks for sharing on Monday Musings.
