Wrapping up the Year!

 Lots of things getting ready and finished. 

Holidays have begun, visits are happening 

and lots of fun is going on. 

Movement in the sewing room is really stacking up.

Things have moved from here,

to blocks sewn, 

to tops made, 

to backs chosen,

to layered and pinned,

to quilted and binding made,

 

to complete!

 Six Irish chain quilts are now complete! 

 The yellow has gone off to a 

Veteran's residence along 

with a blue log cabin.

The remaining complete chains will 

hang out over the holidays and 

may be impromptu gifts should they be needed. 

The last two Irish chains are multicolored. 

One is under the needle today!

 

It is being quilted with diamond pattern. 

I am still a little hesitant about free motion

quilting with my Bernina but I will be 

brave later. I did do some maintenance

yesterday and oiled the bobbin race.  

Every little thing is definitely confidence increasing! 

The diamond pattern will let me vary my 

quilting designs but still keep the 

speed of the straight line. 

 The other is waiting to be layered with 

a beautiful butterfly backing.

If I can get them both completed,

I can close out the year on RSC 2024!!

Woot woot!

Stay safe and sew on !

Next up to Layer

 My new quilting partner is getting a 

bit of a break while I layer up some 

more tops. 

The workroom quilt rack has 

five more tops paired up with backs 

awaiting pinning. 

This well seasoned Christmas top

will be paired up with a green winter flannel

back to make a nice chair throw. 

Another well seasoned top is getting 

a complimentary garden backing 

and finally be finished. It is a 

row by row from a long ago 

group of quilters. 

The last of the Irish chains will 

be paired up with this stunning 

butterfly fabric. It will be such a fun

quilt to work on!  

These 100 pyramids is a found top 

from an estate I helped with and will 

likely stay in my collection.  I have 

been working on a partial one for 

years and will combine my blocks

to finish the edges and pair it with 

this exciting orange and brown pieced backing.

 Lastly my saucy curved nine patch will get a 

fabulous black background paisley print  back. 

The postage stamp border will pick up the colors in 

the back but should not clash when 

separated by the binding.  I've got some enjoyable

work ahead and can't wait to get started. 

Happy stitching to me!

Stay safe and sew on!
