The vaccine is rolling, out, but OH SO SLOWLY. And I'm about dead last on our priority list (as it probably should be - no complaints!) so I just need to keep on going. I've felt the need for some slow stitching recently, which has done good things for the progress on a lot of old cross stitch UFO's. I finished the Band Sampler that I did as a round robin a while ago. It's beautiful, but with Mary Ellen gone I'll have to spend a LOT more than I used to to get it framed! I've also completed "A Little Quakeresque" sampler - such a lovely project! And my "12 Days of Christmas" piece is done as well, although I did have to order more floss. I think it might end up as a pillow cover? I can't think of a place to hang in during the holidays. My piecing list is actually pretty under control for a change. I decided to join in on a quilt along for "All the Good" and I absolutely LOVE how it's turned out. It was part of a
The amazing Jo at Jo's Country Junction does a ton of wonderful work doing long-arm for charity quilts. After my friend, Natalie, and I purchased our long-arm, we both wanted to help do charity work, so I reached out to Jo to see if she needed some assistance. She sent along five quilt tops, along with backings and bindings, and Natalie and I got to work! This first finish is a wonderful, happy, bright pinwheel quilt, made by Sharon Judkins of Hatfield, Arkansas. (And special thanks to my 11 year old for photographing - she's working on photography for her 4-H projects, and wanted to help out in her own way!) Natalie did the long-arm work on this one. Each pinwheel got it's own spiral, and there are spirals in all the sashing and borders. Natalie made sure to get a pinwheel in cornerstone, as well. It was bound in a lovely blue, with the ladies in our local quilt guild stepping up to do the actual binding work. This one will be donated to Feed the
One can only hope that with 2020 on the way out, things will start to look up. We shall see! A few finishes here and there. The flag quilt was finally done. The elementary set isn't the greatest for holding up quilts, but they did their best! I love how this one turned out. The pattern was my own, and the customer loved it. Flag Quilt Commission Finished! I finished Grandma's wall hanging, unfortunately a little too late. She saw the top, and loved it. She fell into a quick decline shortly thereafter and passed away without ever seeing the final result. The finished quilt was displayed in her coffin, and my aunt asked that it be buried with her. I agreed. Grandma's Quilt - mostly finished This was a fun project! I took the color palate directly from my partner's feed, and I love how it turned out. Had some fun with the quilting and my partner was happy. #skinnystrippyswap This was a loooooooooooonnnnnnngggg term UFO that I finally finished up. I quilt
