October Doings

October is behind us.  Does that put us in the Winter months?  I think it does. The skies have been foggy in the mornings - a thick fog that doesn't go away until near noon. So strange for us here in SoCal.  I've gotten the backing for Project H which was October's UFO. Designed by Shelly Pagliai of  Prairie Moon Quilts for a special retreat. She made it into mostly 12" blocks, but I didn't want such a big quilt, so I made my blocks to be 6" finished blocks instead. Now to find batting that fits it.  It's sad that there is only one quilt store in our city, and Riverside has over 325K citizens. We use to have 4 at one time. Makes shopping harder for us quilters who want to see the fabric we are buying. Here's  the quilt flimsy:

Also, I'm back working on another baby quilt for St. Anne's. Piecing the 9 1/2" blocks now, and putting them up on my design wall as I make some progress.

What's up on your design wall? Leave me a comment and I'll come and take a look at your work.  I'm adding this to Design Wall Monday  and Alicia's Quilty Girl. See you there. 

Blessings,

A Finish

I have a finish that comes 19 years after its start. My dear 13 year-old niece came for a week visit and we decided to make a quilt. I made the blocks and let her design the quilt.  It was mostly blue and yellow as they were her favorite colors then.  We finished the quilt and she left it with me to quilt. Nineteen years ago I was a very beginner quilter and I didn't have money to have it long armed. So it sat.

Spurred on by my joining Dive into UFOs in 2025 (on Facebook) and sponsored by( crazymoosefabrics.com on web and Facebook), I finally got back to it. 

And some of the quilting:

I'm giving it to her for her birthday which is coming up soon.

What are you up to? Leave me a comment and I'll visit your blog and have a look at your doings. I'm leaving this post at Monday Musings. Have a look at others fine work. Blessings,

Sum of September

 Summing up September I did finish that baby quilt where I was making wreaths, started on another quilt and finished 2 flimsies.

1) Here's the baby quilt I finished:

and the back:

Cute flannel .

2) I finished my sew-along flimsy:

This is my use of scraps for now.

Here's the baby quilt I've started. I added another row:

 And lastly a flimsy for a raffle opportunity we're going to launch:

Measures 54" x54". Was a Cloth World/JoAnn Block of the Month kit.  We did a part of it.

That's it for me. What have you been up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll visit your blog and catch up. I'm sharing with Cynthia on her Oh Scraps' linky party.  And Design Wall Monday, Check it out. Blessings,
