2024 marches on

almost february?  indeed!  time to rough out a sewing plan for this short month.  

the non-wedding quilt (hereafter called liberty road) will be basted!  was gifted this awesome batt for it, now to get the backing (payday), get it washed and reserve time at the library meeting room.  


also on the february list is the chookshed stitchers challenge...


deana will select next challenge list item on thursday...happy to say met january challenge of the blue circles--all appliqued now and ideas for next border(s) sorta planned.  finishing this tree of life in 2024 would be grand.  

also on the list is to move the kitty wall quilt along.  the top is ready to assemble and then details will be added.  timetable for a may finish and in good shape for that.

mini repro 9-patches on for tomorrow.  4 february mondays equals 40 more little blocks.  prepping for another project today left me with a small piece of black solid....idea!  solid minis with black centers...whipped these up to see the result...when the solids drawer gets tackled, will definitely make more.  perhaps an amish style double 9-patch quilt ahead?


another gift this week--from the county--a new chromebook OS.  poverty has its perks now and then....


weekend again wet, windy and wild but sun back tomorrow.  monday's list quick checkup with ortho about hip and hopeful clearance back to gym visits.  january has not been the kindest month with winter doldrums hanging on, but still many blessings and more fortunate than many.

  1. Winter doldrums- yes; I can relate. Check Missouri Star's daily deals, they've been running 108" wide, three yard cuts, for really good prices (~$24-$28~), perfect time to pick up quilt backs!

  2. I love those little 9 patches. Yes, the black centres really make them pop. You have some solid plans for February. I'm looking forward to finding out what number Deana picks so that I can finalise my plans for the month.

  3. A Chromebook! How exciting is that!
    All that medical yuck last year probably didn't help matters.
    Your 9-patches are looking great!
