Hands2Help Check In/Link Up

SARAH does such a fabulous job with this event.  Regular check ins on progress, assistance with needs, and setting up guest bloggers along the way.  You want to visit today as Carol has a great way to make a quick quilt using an orphan block.

  

I hate to say, I NEVER took completed photos of my two quilts and they have already been gifted on.  I opted to donate locally this year as we have a huge need in our communities and our Quilt Guild does such a fabulous job with this project.  I delivered 48 quilts to our Community Services Office from the guild.  

The other quilt I made was with a cute and colorful kitty print and some matching solids and mini prints using this easy pattern.  The skinny sashings I used a Kona white, but I did change the outer to a full border of white at 2.5".  Absolute NO photos of this even in progress let alone the finish.  Guess I was in a hurry.

Hope everyone enjoyed a Blessed Easter,

Sewingly Yours,

Whoop Whoop Friday 4/14/17

I had wanted to move this project along with getting the sashings completed.  Well, I went further and put the semi-flimsie together.  I am working this differently from the original pattern.  The large setting corners will have applique in them, so they are not attached as they are not finished yet.  The I am adding two borders - this one will take a little longer to grow, but I love what I am seeing already.

This has been in my folder for a long time and I almost deleted it.  The newest mini with Wendy Shephard's Bleecker Street QAL.  I have too many large projects going, so I am using this lovely free pattern and Wendy's monthly QAL tips to make some cute minis.

No Feline Friday pics as the furkids have been in-out-in-out-napping who knows where.  Bella is feeling so much better with the meds and our improving weather - we were starting to forget what the Sun looked like!

I will take the day to catch up on blocks and then the weekend I will be away for some family time - Happy Easter.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Playing with Flowers

I wish it were real flowers, but those are in the distant in our neck of the woods.  Today is the day that so many blocks for QALs are released, but I want to move my Grandmother's Flower Basket project further along.

All the HSTs are made for the many sashing units and I want get them assembled and hopefully on for a semi flimsy.  These little units are just too tempting for one particular furkid - before they are scattered to the winds - they will be sewn!

That's all on my agenda as my son is coming down to have help with his tax forms.

Sewingly Yours,

Monday Making 4/10/17

I will be joining BETH and friends today with some simple play that will hopefully clean up a few scraps and found items.

This is my overflowing mess of gray scraps after digging for pieces for my RSC17 piggie blocks.

I've been doing some purging and reorganizing and came across this lone pack of mini charms.  I used the Modern Background in lite tones for my Leap Year Quilt - these are the 'Ink' collection.

Simple boxed squares to marry these two should do the trick and we shall see what interesting finish comes from the day's play.

All the pieces have been cut and paired with their little mini charm.  Now the rest of the scrappy grays are folded neatly into that plastic shoe box - and I can close the lid!

Take time to play today,

Sewingly Yours,

Sharon
