Just do it!

 Great day for getting things done!

Have some great flowers and  had a great pie on pi day!

Spring is in the future and the sun is shining!

Sunrise!

I have all the greens cut for my Lady of the Meadow, 

decision made on background ( mixed scrap whites)

and three baby quilt enveloped and ready for finishing!

Woot woot! Moving on up!  

Some day motivation just hits you with the sunshine. 

Could be because I am finally feeling rested after my bout with

stomach flu but I am very inspired to

 Sew on today!

To Do #1 March 16

I am joining the weekly To-Do Tuesday

 Linky Party hosted by Chris at ChrisKnits!

I think I have found my people!

I do love a list!

I just stumbled across a group of weekly list makers

so I am on board with that! 

Here is my list for this week!

I am pulling it right from the list on my phone

   

 ~Sandwich the purple coin quilt__

~Sandwich the pink, 1, 2 and 3!  ___

Trio of Pink! Sew much fun!

 Ever have a day that was just fun?

Well, yesterday was one!

I had pulled out a box of pinks last week. 

for some baby quilts. 

I had a great time making string units

last week.

Yesterday, they got assembled! 

Three cute little pink items

are ready for backing! 

So today being my "day of personal choice"

(one day a year you can do what you choose-Birthday!)

I am digging into green to make myself a 

big old green bed quilt!

 The RSC 2021 color for 

March is green for spring 

and it is one of my favorites!  

I have 3 designs in mind.  

A basic braid for my random width strips, 

Texas braid for 2 inch strips , and a 

Lady of the Meadow from my chunk pile . 

It is really the Lady of the Lake pattern but 

since it is going to be green , 

the meadow will be a better name. 

Wish me luck and help me enjoy my day!

Stay safe a sew on !

Oh Scrap!

Wednesday Wait Loss!

I'm all out of love , Log Cabin!

 Wow this has been a long time in coming.

This circular Log Cabin has been

waiting for completion for almost three decades.

Notice the trendy dusty hues and rosy pinks. 

It was a class I took when I first started quilting.

Not paper pieced, just a curved log cabin done by 

measuring and trimming each block.

There were no fabulous rulers back in the day . 

 I must say it waited so long because I'd gotten bad advice,

and really began to dislike this project!

As a new quilter, when my blocks

were turning out too small, I was advised to

take an 1/8th inch seam to make

the blocks the correct size.

Needless to say I was plagued by a lot of

pulling apart seams and

eventually just put the project away.

You may notice safety pins here and there.

Every one marks an open seam that

needs repaired. I am not out of the woods

yet on this one!

As it was on my UFO list and

I'm trying to catch up with the help of

Wednesday Wait Loss and UFO Busters,

it needed to be completed.

I had it long armed,

did the  binding by machine

and made a label.

Now it's only waiting to have all the little seams

that pulled apart repaired

before it can achieve its final goal

of being placed on a bed.

Yay progress!

I even fell back in love with

this pattern when I saw it laid out in

the sun! I may come to love this quilt

again!

Stay safe and sew on!

Finished or Not Friday!

Can I get a Whoop whoop!

This quilt was featured!!

Off the wall Friday!

I still love greens!

Trying to let the RSC 2021 assist me in 

taming my scraps.

A toddler and a noodle brought me 

down . I missed my first sew day 

after someone fed GP a noodle and

everyone got the stomach flu!

Anyway, I still love greens!!!

I have made a bunch of green log cabins, 

but I many make one more for myself. 

I also discovered the Lady of the Lake 

pattern while spending couch time resting. 

It looks like a pineapple so I may do one in 

all greens for this months mission!  

I think I have enough greens! 

Can't wait to get sewing!

I even have a heap of pinks to finish up

from February! 

I finished the heart quilt.

All the scraps got sewn up

on Friday Night with Friends, so

3 more crib quilts are on the way. 

Stay safe and sew on !

Friday Night with Friends

UFO Busting!

Friday Nite with Friends

 My first Friday nite with Friends, 

Sew in , Get going, Tame those scraps

got off to a great start!

I need a few baby quilts and 

have some scraps that are perfect 

for little girls. I can see the joy of 

precuts!

I have a whole box of these

 left over from the

heart quilt!

I rediscovered this small yellow coins,

and now I have a direction. 

I sewed up all the bits left that

were about 7" long. 

 I cut  off

the extra with quick scissor snip

and put those back in the box.

Then trimmed up my sets 

to 6 inches.  I tend to trim to the

width of a favorite ruler unless

I am sticking to a strip 

pattern. 

Notice the narrower set? 

I went back to the box and 

sewed up all

the cutoffs too!

So not a bad evening!

I finished with enough strips for

three crib sized pink quilts!

I may embellish with an applique

or some fancy gifted lace  pieces 

to spice them up!

Stay safe and sew on!

The Summit!

The mountain quilt is complete!

Mountains!  first appeared in the Design Wall Record

 ( like the Burgess Shale for fossils)

on December 14, in the year of Covid , 2020. 

                 

I managed to pin this 

behemoth during a sew day.

It has a double batting of a layer of 

Hobbs 80/20 and 50 oz poly since it is

 heading to the mountains of 

British Colombia!

      

I had a blast quilting it with 

straight lines on my

 domestic machine,

 ( not a wild one , to hard to catch, sorry need a cuppa!)

By the time the quilting was over ,

the floor was littered with things 

 knocked off by flinging quilt!

               

My DH would look over every time something 

hit the floor , pick whatever it was up and 

try to move it out of the danger zone.  

We ended up with a big pile of sewing

gear on the computer desk!

                                               

The quilting makes it very interesting , 

and the colors just seem to warm up!!

       

This large bed quilt (84 x 94)

will get packed up today 

and head out to the 

Rockies on a ski trip. It 

is for a mountain climbing 

buddy and family.

                                               

The matching baby quilt

 was mailed to

 the new arrival a few weeks ago.  

                                              

We have been enjoying it for a few 

days, displayed on the railing . I will 

miss seeing it but did manage to show it 

off to the few visitors we had. 

The pizza guy really liked it!?!

So save a Whoop Whoop for me!
