New monthly challenges have been selected, so I have dug into my UFO stash to pull out the projects and see what needs to be done. In the mean time, I did finish the Disappearing Hour Glass project that was started in July. It is now hanging on the wall in our living room.
I've been experimenting with Instagram from my phone. I don't know if I like it or not. More practice is in the future.
I also finished this Fall themed table topper.
Probably the most amazing part about this project, is that it was in a project bag with the Quilts and More magazine, dated 2012 and the charm pack of fabric. I actually had it all together. That is a bit amazing. The hexie papers all had to be cut to the same size and that gave me a bit of trouble. The embroidered motifs were backed with an interfacing. My usual practice and recommended in the pattern instructions. But then they were difficult to get wrapped around the hexie papers to be the same size as the plain fabric. I finally took the backing paper from behind the embroidered blocks and adjusted the seam allowance so they all fit together. This after I had the rows already all whipped stitched together. BUMMER. Anyway, now it is done. I like how it turned out and I have some charms lefts from this collection, so I am planning a set of hexagon folded coasters.
In between all this sewing, I have been sending leaders and enders through the machine, making 9 patches like a maniac. Only 95 more to go! Phew!
That is all for this week. Next week I will be getting ready for my son's visit. He will be here from Phoenix to spend 10 days with us. We will celebrate his dad's birthday on the 17th and his early. His is the 30th. I am looking forward to that.
I am linking up to Finish It Up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts
All this week, praying for the victims of Harvy, family in Montana amongst the burning forest, and now for family in Florida who have decided to shelter-in-place. They are north quite a ways, but I still am concerned.
Until next time
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
Both are great quilts, congrats on your finishes!
ReplyDeleteYour disappearing hour glass is so precise. It is beautiful. I love your fall table topper as well. Seasonal decorations are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping at my blog and your nice comment on my Fall table runner. To answer your question --- no pattern, I just winged it! Sally
ReplyDeleteGood for you for finishing that hexie project in spite of the difficulties. The disappearing patchwork turned out nice, too. Hope you are having a great day with your son!
