Happy April!

This week I have pulled out my Dear Hannah and will start prepping more of the applique blocks for our future travels. I need to have something to work on while in the car and during those times when we are just sitting around. Our first tip will be in mid April and we are headed up to Greer AZ for a couple of days.

Here is a fast quilt that I will be working on today at my sewing group. Thank you Sandi!

Happy Sewing!

Stash Report

 

Last week I was visiting my Mom for her 87th birthday in Sacramento, so no posts and no sewing was done. I had a great time catching up with family and celebrating my Mom.

 A small finish this week with the Tulip Quilt. The blocks were from a Sunrise BOM challenge and I made this small wallhanging. I will be sharing it at our meeting in April, when we celebrate our 40th anniversary as a chapter.

Purchased this week was this cute cat fabric that will be the backing for the Kitten Love quilt. I am almost finished with putting the top together. I am back in action this week and hope to have the tulips quilted and the Kitten Quilt done.

Used this week: 3 yards.

Used YTD: 29 yards.

Purchased this week: 4 yards.

Purchased YTD: 17 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 12 yards.

Have a great week!

Above are Tulip blocks that I won from Sunrise Stitchers a couple of years ago. Sunrise Stitchers will be celebrating its 40th Birthday in at our April meeting, and we have been asked to bring any finished projects that were done from Challenges, BOM, ect, to share. So I am going to try to get a little quilt or table runner made from these blocks.

I also worked on more of the couthouse blocks at my sewing group yesterday and hope to get them all put together and quilt top ready for quilting.

Happy Sewing!

Yesterday we had a sew day for my monthly chapter meeting. In the morning we had a great presentation by Heidi Pridemore from The Whimiscal Workshop. Her lecture, A few of my favorite things, talked about all kinds of different notions and how to use them. Even after all these years quilting, I still learned a thing or two. Heidi also shared many of her beautiful quilts, and the patterns that are available for them. 

We then got down to sewing and I started on the Courthouse blocks above. I am trying to use up all of my 2.5" strips and put together some scrappy charity quilts. This will be my ongoing project for this year.

Slowly making progress on my Kitten Love quilt. I have about 30 more blocks to go, and will be trying to make 4-6 each day. Want to get this one off the design wall and on to the next project.

Happy Sewing!

My first chick is done! The rest are cut out and ready to sew. These go together pretty fast and I am hoping to have this finished this week. The hardest part was picking out the fabrics. More Kittens are also in the works,
