Wow, I am in a high work phase!!
A workroom full of fabric, machines
humming, programs playing and
zoom meetings on the screen,
I am a multitasking queen!
Today I am pulling off the top
of the "to be quilted pile" and
getting things done!
First up is one of the many log cabins.
This one will get a cross quilt wave in pale yellow thread.
Most of the recent tops have been twin sized
or slightly larger. The gift potential is optimal
for this size. Great for a smaller bed but
definitely perfect for couch sitting too!
Took a break from stitching to go cheer on
the local team but alas, the boys in blue and
orange were not successful.
stitching, trimming, and thread picking I
finished up ..... two yellow log cabin quilts!
Here is the second in progress with my
zoom friends cheering me on in the background!
(More like quietly supportive.)
The second has a linear pattern
repeating across the squares with a 2.5"
distance between the rows of stitching.
Yes there are actually two! I had difficulty believing that myself!
It is a lot of yellow!
The biggest difficulty I have sewing yellow is
that a few oranges always sneak in and then
the whole thing starts to look like a sunrise.
That is not always a bad thing.
I still am enthralled with the
polka dot center squares.
They just need a good binding and
then will be tallied up into the stash report.
A great day !
Stay safe and sew on !!

Wow! You have been busy. I finally stopped just thinking about projects and got busy, too. I'm putting together a challenging bunch of blocks from my mother-in-law which were made in the 30s. No block is the same shape or size, so it's a learning experience! I'm using my 1905 treadle to piece it and will hand quilt it. I dragged out a king-sized top I made about 4 years ago and pieced the backing. It will be a beast to quilt. It feels good to get some things done.
ReplyDeleteIt really feels rewarding to just finish something!!!Happy stitching.

DeleteHi Deb, I'm sorry about the loss of the orange and blue team - it would have been a nice finish to the Canadian hockey season :-) Congrats on your two finishes and if you quilted these up with your domestic machine, please link up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteoh I will link up ! I only have regular machines. If I feel fancy I get a quilt or two done by a local shop. Happy Quilting!

You are welcome and thank you! I am going to try to get few more quilted up !
DeleteYellow is such a fun color to sew with, but sometimes it's hard to determine what's yellow and what's orange. Congrats on the two almost finishes.
ReplyDeleteWow, two beautiful finished quilts, well done! Love that polka dot center too, and bits of sunshine in the yellow ;) Thank you for sharing!
