Monday Making

I'll be linking up with BETH with her encouragement to do some 'making' on Mondays.  She has a very cute I Spy going as well as some other great projects linked up that may inspire.

With a little help (or hinderance), I'll be working on quilting the Crazy For Red .

And the little Princess fiished her quilt with the scrappy  squares I sent her.  She's asking for her own sewing machine and wants to come 'sew with the ladies'- guess we have her hooked.

OMG - June 2020

The OMG has been great motivation to either move a project on to it's next step or to completely finish something.  I started with the move it on, but now I have a big stack of to be finished.

This is one of my 'oldies' that was way in the bottom of the bin.  I made several quilts and minatures using the 'Crazy for Red' line.  I had a lot of the browns and dark reds left and used this to finish up the lights in a very simple pattern.

I hand quilted a number of the miniatures in a Baptist Fan so this large quilt I am going to attempt the BF by machine.  And I wisely saved a large piece of red for the binding (pinned to it)

I had a large piece of Extra Wide backing of this pretty creamy Toile.  We have a stretch of nice weather (for a change) and I have plans to take a few outings with out new phasing in the area.  The next stormy, rainy stretch will see this quilt under the needle.

Please be sure to visit the LINK-UP - Oh, there are a lot of great projects being worked on!

Scrappy Wednesday

I'm starting to work on the project using the gifted charm pack.  It was a bit of mix of bright colors and I pulled the few charms that were small prints on a white background.  Easy enough to dig thru my FQ totes to find replacements for them that work into this mix.

The white and black are scraps off the shelf and I will dig around for a border.  Maybe I will even raid the left over binding drawer for some colorful pieces to add a scrappy binding to finish this off.

The pattern is Garden Path by Amanda @ Jedi Craft Girl.  It was one of a series of the 'Five Fat Quarter' patterns and you can find them under her pattern/tutorial  page.  Since it cuts those FQs to 5" squares, it was perfect to use those charms instead.

I make it a policy not to discuss politics on my blog, but times are getting very scarey right now.  All I can say is:  please VOTE in November.

Stay Safe and Healthy,

Hands2Help 2020

I have been participating in H2H since it's birth.  I would like to thank SARAH for all the hard work she puts into this each year.  She deserves a Gold Star this year - moved to a new home, Covid-19, a tornado in her home town, and several venues that she attends to gather donations closed so I know she had to do more work.

I am not only posting my own donation quilts, but some of my fellow guild members' who do not blog but like to participate.  Our guild - Schoharie Valley Piecemakers - does an annual quilt drive for the local Catholic Charities Office.  They serve our communities in-need families in many ways and this adds to their family donation boxes.
