Joining Carol and friends at Quilt Schmilt - For the Love of Fabric this morning. We gather to share our victories and if necessary our almost victories. It's great to see the progress of others.
May 23-29
1. Trim and bind Precarious!✅ OMG, it's finally finished. Label and all! I had to wait for the sun to come up before taking it outside for a photo!
Hanging on the inside of our fence, cause I still had my jammy pants on! I was showing it with the pink at the top, but Miss B reminded me , “ it’s red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,violet, Gramma”! So red on top it is! 😍
This is a preprinted label that’s been in the drawer for years. If you look closely you’ll see needle and res thread. I’m stitching along some of the flower shading to help tack down the label. I’ve had them get wrinkly and loose in the past. This might help.
2. Evening stitching on Spring Stamps.✅ the stamps took a back seat late in the week, so I could stitch and stitch and stitch the binding and the label on Precarious! But a bit of stitching was done. You'll see I have started stamp #6. Early Bird.
3. Cut and assemble Houses #7 & #8
House 7 is done, though it’s not a favorite. There is not enough contrast in the porch cover over the door. The left point gets lost!
The grass looks wavy, it just needs a good press!
And eight is also done! I have number nine done too, I'll show it next week after I write a post for the QAL.
4. Make at least 2 more orange crumb blocks.✅
There were four extra blocks when I finished all the crumbs!
⭐️ Cut pieces for Sew Preeti’s Positivity QAL! ❌
Upcoming week:
May 30th - June 5th
1. Start on leaf blocks for Preeti's Positivity QAL
2. Decide on a OMG for June and post about it
3. Double check the RSC 23 color for June. And see what the associated UFO's are from my list.
4. Try to finish the December Year in the Garden Block, so I can begin to think about a quilt pattern to use.
5. Stitch on Spring Stamps
I love the crumb quilt with the rainbow colors. Good job on getting it done!
ReplyDeletePrecarious looks wonderful, and so does Spring, but I especially love seeing your house blocks! I like them both - fun colors and combinations. I'm trying to decide if I can join in on Precarious - I want to, just don't know if I can keep up!
ReplyDeleteI really like your Precarious. It is wonderful. Are you sponsoring a qal or are you writing a post for Preeti's qal. Let me know if you are doing one and when and I'll put it in my column of mysteries and quilt alongs in my guild newsletter and on my blog.
ReplyDeletePrecarious looks fabulous. Where is it destined for? Houses looking really good.
ReplyDeleteLove the Precarious Quilt and your other projects are just beautiful as well. Had to look away from the houses...just adore making house blocks and quilts but really should not start anything new at this point in time. so much inspiration here!
ReplyDeleteI am forever in awe of you quilters who make such precise seams and corners. These little houses are dreamy.
ReplyDeleteoh the crumbs...lovely!
ReplyDeleteJudy it's so nice to finally get back home and get to my computer so I can see all of your lovely blocks. Precarious is a finish! Congratulations it is beautiful. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday.
