Slow Sunday Stitching 4/10/16

Slow Sunday Stitching

I'll be joining Kathy today for some handwork - turning off that machine and slowing down.



I have the stem to stitch down on the Sweet Gum Leaf block for the 'Westering Women' BOM.  There was a lot of discussion on the templates not printing out correctly and size  of finished blocks too small, so I went with this one on Quilter's Cache.  No headaches and it came out perfect.


And then there are those circles.  Those 6 will put me a couple of days ahead of schedule, but I like to work 6 at a time.  My row that can be sewn together and then attached to the section - set 6 by 6.  This project really excites me and I already know how I want to quilt it.


A reminder - today is the first of several guest bloggers with tutorials and tips, so please go visit HERE.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

What.....you already have a quilting plan for those circles? Way to go! I have a couple of layout ideas but that's as far as I got. Love your perfect leaf block.

I've read about the problems with that leaf, you're so smart to go find it somewhere else :)

I am so far behind stitching my circles although I have a nice stack already cut. Thanks for the link to the nine patch tutorial.

I love Quilters Cache patterns. They always come out great. You have a beautiful leaf there. Enjoy those circles... I can't wait to see how you quilt them.

Your leaf block is perfect, as usual.

Myra offered a great pattern and tutorial for the H2H participants.

I like your leaf block. Glad I read your blog today. I am making the 'Westering Women' BOM also. Have not made the leaf yet. Will be very careful when I sew my block.
Thank You Kathleen Mary
