Applique Tuesday

Finished the embroidery on this block.  Now to machine applique it.  I use invisible thread.

 The hexie paper giveaway is still open. See my  post. Open til Thursday midnight.

Stay warm, dry or cool - depending where you are. Blessings to you all.

Slow Sunday Stitching & Stash Report

First, a reminder of the hexie paper giveaway going on here. See my last post. Open til Thursday midnight.

Well, I was not even half way to my goal this week - 0.82 yard were destashed instead of 2.  I mainly spent my time quilting my WIP for January, working on my new project for 6+6 in 2018,  hexies for Bliss, a sample chair bag and a string block for Kat's Covered With Love block drive. My new YTD is 2.85 yds destashed.

For My Small World I now have six 2" pinwheels - 10 more to go.

I find making such tiny blocks stressful as they don't come out as good as I would like. Oh, well maybe by the time I've made all of them I'll have gotten better.

For the Sweet Land of Liberty sew along I'm working on a house block. This will be my slow stitching this Sunday. Next will be to add borders to bring it up to size.

I don't have photos of the bag or the string block. They were out of the house before I remembered to take a photo.  I'm linking to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching, Cynthia's Oh Scrap!, and QuiltPaintCreate's Sunday Stash.

WIPs Be Gone

Almost done with some blocks for Humble Quilts Sweet Land of Liberty sew along.  I like this one because we are winging it for the pattern and all are making their own interpretation of the blocks unless fortunate to have bought the pattern by Cheri.

I also worked on a baby quilt.  It is now
quilted:

 bound

and on its way to the local NICU.

This is my 6th Nearly Insane block and my last.  I've decided to make a different set of blocks into baby quilts this year. More on that later.
