Spring is here yah.! I always look forward to the arrival of the robins.
The last few months I have been busy working on quilts for Victoria Quilts Canada. I finished off 14 and sent them off to be warm hugs for those in need.
I used up a small bundle of Stonehenge Fabrics and created two smaller quilts one which is completely done in the other that needs to be basted. I also worked on a scrappy quilt as well as the quilt that started with the 5 bear paw blocks, as well as one from my scrap bin. Last week I put the last 3 months for Quilt Doodles BOM from 2020 together and then the quilt top.... ready to baste as well. 4 tops, now to make them quilts.
I did get 3 queen size denim quilt/blankets made with denim tote bags. Only backed no batting or quilting. And 2 car blankets backed with polar fleece.
I should have kept count on the number of jeans that were used up. Maybe a good thing I didn't, just knowing they are worked up is good enough for me. I know I can make a few more as I still have a bin and a box with more. One thing I learned from this is clean your machine with every other bobbin. The dust bunnies are big and build up that fast.
Under construction are this BOM from Quilt Doodles as well as a weekly quilt along with Pat Sloan called Home is. I also found a new block to try out using scraps and denim.
Last night I basted up a Hawaiian quilt block. This is number 4. I have to figure out how many I need for a bed quilt and keep at it. It Seams I have to have a dozen project's on the go. Anybody else do the same?
And to add to that I am in a scrap challenge, where you decide what to create with an envelope of scraps sent to you ... you can add 1.5 of one preselected fabric. This one I will post at the end date of the challenge, May 15. From the last of the scraps I'm working on some layered and quilted post cards. The ones in the photo are ready for some applique.
Wow you have been very busy. Lots of wonderful projects under way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Lucky for those of us that sew and quilt. Helps to fill time productively while staying safe at home. Anything that keeps our hands and minds busy is a good thing. In stitches Annette
