Those Chains are linking up!!!


 Well, I 'm deep in the weeds on Irish Chains!! 

They are zipping thru my machine at a great pace 

and are great fun to do!

I was scrolling thru the  Canadian Quilt Guild Network

and saw the Blankets of Love donations in use. 


 This is one of my guild charities.  

The Irish chain quilts will be going 

to this group.  I think my 60" x 70" tops may be too

small so I will up the size with a saucy border of 2 1/2" 

squares.  There are lots of leftovers and maybe a rainbow 

border would brighten it up even more!  I will audition 

both and see which works better.




So far I have green and blue centers complete 

and parts for the remaining RS colors are in the works. 

 I love the assembly work and it is 

very satisfying to see piles of parts stack up!

So I have the :

Jan -Green center done

Feb-Red strips cut

Mar-Purple units started

Apr-Yellow strips cut

May-Pink not enough to do

June-Blue center done

There is lots of stitching ahead!

The quilting stack it still waiting too!

Stay safe and sew on !

Stash Reporting

 Well, things are happening in the 

sewing room!  The garden is going well too!  





We plant mainly perennials since

 I am a lazy gardener and like to 

economize with the yard plants. 

The bleeding hearts are blooming, 

the ground covers are starting to 

bloom and the other early spring 

trees and bushes are filling our 

bedroom community with fragrance 

and look amazing!

The sewing room is zipping right along, 

2 tops almost complete and parts for

more are stacked and sorted. 



Nothing has gone out lately so the 

stash report hasn't changed too much. 

I will add a fabric purchased section

to my reporting to more correctly 

show how much is spent on fabric. 

Fabric Purchased: 2 m

Fabric In to date: 22.5 m

Use to date 2024 : 12 m

Scraps in : 6 m

Scraps out : 1 m

Big Batch donation : 60 m 

Net Fabric In: 67.5 m

I have a wealth of scraps and some 

yardage from friends so my total 

fabric supply has grown considerably!

It is wonderful so many want to share 

their bounty!

Stay Safe and Sew on!
