sunday report

so many bloggers have posted photos of beautiful flowers that inspired me to send this to my mom for her birthday.....it bloomed 2 days after but beautiful nonetheless....called 'apple blossom'...if only the sun were out when the photo was taken....across the street is construction of a new police station so all the residents get to be sidewalk engineers...LOL!

it was a busy sewing sunday.....finished placemats....

and blue lanterns got some progress....

thinking maybe 20 blocks in all for this wall piece or 30 at most, will see.  these sew up so very quickly....finished all these in about an hour. 

then caved for another new start...my absolute last for now.  first i need to apologize to a zoom quilty pal.  i sort of agreed to sew a quilt with her--"make it blue" by natalie bird--but bailed as i already had a blue piece in progress--"alaska".  didn't feel i could commit to another large quilt project.  but now the Quiltmania mystery has called to me, reasoning i wasn't committed beyond what i wanted to do.  and what color is it?  blue with yellow....so that's 3 blue projects....here's what got done today.  in the nick of time since the next issue/step comes out march...

 

a respectable start and step 1 might be done before too long into march--only 7 stars to go.  Miss Sunny is a machine of a "certain age" so without many bells and whistles of newer machines.  she does, however, come with attachments.  pulled out the single needle throat plate, making piecing of small units much easier...had never used before but will leave it on for the time being.

 

another week with few must do items.  might have to resort to house chores...😕
