Into the Workroom!

 Wowzer, there is a lot going on. 

Retreat moved so many projects forward!

While doing some errands I ran into  a

great find of small cozy blankets 

that are perfect for backing my 

larger I Spy quilts. 

Each set of three will back two small twin tops. 



The I Spys are eating up my time right now. 

Here is the next one on the design wall.


Notice a large pile of squares on my table?

There are certainly a few more I Spies in the making there!

An extra row will be added to each one of my previous tops

to increase their size and extend their use for my growing GKs.

Four are up for Christmas gifting.

They'll have the cozy backs and will be wonderfully comfy.

It has been moving ahead after a few late nights,

Here is where it stands right now!


All the frames are finished 

Now the blocks just need to be joined together.

Did you notice that my design wall is layering up?

I put the I Spy blocks right over the triangular diamond quilt.

Maybe I need another design wall?

I did pin the first octagonal I Spy to a wall hanging 

when I wanted to add another row,


but for a layouts I really need that design wall!

There is one wedding quilt up for next 

summer. I will get that started 

to work on in between other projects. 

It will be a colorful string star quilt.

I've made a few before and they are fun 

to make and always well received

I really like the look of the stars. 

Here are two I made a few years ago .


They are great scrap burners!

They each require 8 color string blocks, 

8   1/2 square string blocks.

I've got lots of strings so they will great fun to stitch. 

Lots to do so let's get stitching!

Stay Safe and Sew On!
