sitting here with a thunderstorm brewing outside, awoke to lightning....i do love them! it's been a week filled with blessings...the recently acquired recliner is perfect for evening quilting and that's just what i've been doing--a happy place indeed! but miss sunny hasn't been ignored....
this is Baskets I....it was on my design wall and needed to finish the top freeing up the space....still have a stack of those basket blocks and thinking about a different setting for Baskets II...
then this came out from under the ironing table....
hung it sideways so it fits...10 more rows to flimsy...this got unearthed along with it...
the pile of neutrals and repros that got set aside for the remaining rows...once this is done and gone it'll be another container emptied...the only glitch is the scrap basket is getting fed, but saving that task for either end of year or next year's challenge. the little bird pincushion was a wee gift from janet who makes such beautiful and stunningly challenging minis...
today is quilt group friday...taking the doll quilt and the 'africa' piece to quilt...and with 2 of 3 long-time prayer requests answered, now anticipating the last with eagerness...so joyful at my Savior's love and care AND provision, but still mindful of so many others who grieve or in need of comfort and care.
here comes the rain!!!
Enjoy the time with your stitching friends. I'm partial to split-rects blocks. Are the circles in the baskets regular or reverse applique?
ReplyDeleteYou have had a good week. There is nothing better than a comfy chair and stitching with friends. Your half rectangle triangle quilt is going to be so good. It’s a pity I only caught up for a brief moment in Zoom this morning.
ReplyDeleteou are powering through your UFOs. Those triangles look great.
ReplyDeleteLook at you go!! Hope you had fun at your quilting group.
