been chomping at the bit to get back to this....
finally pulled out of the closet and gave it a try...eureka! and this is the last inside block to be quilted, now for the outside rectangles, triangles and squares...so a 2025 finish? i surely hope so....
veterans' day is almost here....with our country in chaos it is more important than ever to remember those who gave their all....i found this on instagram and it made me wish we had such a president now...two very very different republicans...
the scrappy christmas top is done....i didn't have enough squares in the baggie that was given to me so i made some out of 1.5" strips...which i think gives this a different vibe....so the $3 the baggie cost was used up almost entirely.....
and another instagram photo sums up my feelings precisely......
sun is shining....70 degrees on sunday.....roasting a chicken tomorrow as some soup will be needed next week when a cold snap arrives....it's the seesaw season, temps up and down...have a blessed day!!
Grace, the pieced blocks makes your top sing. Love it!

Love the bubble gum pink! And the Christmas scraps turned out really well.
ReplyDeleteI love to see your hand quilting project and the Christmas scrap quilt is gorgeous! Nice idea of adding the strips to make blocks!
ReplyDeleteThe pink in your quilt just makes me swoon. Such a beautiful quilt. I'm so glad you can finally get back to it. I like the strips you've sewn together and put in with the rest - it adds so much interest.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you are able to get back to hand quilting! Your Xmas top is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe cold front has arrived in NC, first fire of the season in the fireplace today. Augie has claimed a front row seat for that! That scrappy Christmas top is wonderful, I love it! Prayers continue~
