sunday night while watching PBS, finished cutting appliques for this penn dutch wall quilt and thinking of starting yet another applique project...but this popped up in mind....
jan patek's nativity...only 2 blocks left....new start on back burner because this one MUST be finished for this holiday season. the black strip is for the sheep legs...the other block is 3 kings and a lot of tiny pieces are stalling me, but will have to resort to an occasional drop of glue to get it done...
and here is 'spectrum' top finish....renamed crossroads...destination unknown
what else? made a little table topper for my unsightly kitchen table previously used with the big board on top. now out in the open and not visually pleasing..a win/win since it used up all those muslin 2.5" squares as well.
lastly, 'tuscan starburst' top cruising in for a finish.....
seems like a lot accomplished, but the crossroads top and table topper were just about finished before the weekend....once this is done, a basting day will happen. and of course, quilting on 'midnight' continues.
weather has turned abhorrent so forays outside will be minimal....96 tomorrow....yeeech! dreaming daily of cold maine ocean waters and crisp september nights. only 3 medical appointments remain in july. thankfully freezer stocked with ready or minimal meals. it's either clean or sew, hmmm no contest there. so keep cool and sew on!
I have really been thinking of your comment on our Zoom session last weekend. I truly feel like I don't get enough accomplished but when I look at all you do it simply amazes me. I think both of our problems is that we are just too creative. We start all these wonderful things and then boom, we think of a new project to throw in the mix. I like that you have decided to finish the nativity quilt before starting yet a new applique quilt. Now, if I can just hold on to that and do the same thing I might get something finished this month too! Thanks and have a super day!
ReplyDeleteNo husband or grands and small living space leave lots of free time...no outside chores either
DeleteI'm so glad you remembered the little Nativity quilt top - it deserves to be finished. Isn't it funny how the whole time we are working on a project . . . we are thinking about the next one?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed but I am fired up to get it done now....watch for update
ReplyDeleteGosh, you are getting a lot done lately! Must be the weather, eh! LOL
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about it!
