I’m joining Carol at Quilt Schmilt-For the Love of Fabric, I love having this place to keep track of my goals! Thanks Carol!
Last week
July 18th - July 24th
1. Get the rest of the top border for Spool Quilt ironed down. ✅
Ready for stitching!
2. Trace Step 1 for Tis the Season from Days Filled with Joy ✅
I did trace step 1, but I like to back all my stitching with Pellon SF 101. So I will wait until all the steps are published, trace them then back the piece with the interfacing. I learned from experience that if I ironed on the interfacing first and then tried to trace it was very rough. Like drawing on sandpaper.
I know it’s very hard to see. I traced it with brown pigma pen. Size 01. Correction I used a Pigma Micron 005, in brown. Click on the link above to see Joy’s drawing.
3. Finish stitching One Kind Word. ✅ finished after supper Monday night!
Needs a good press and a frame. Maybe yellow! The flower sort of overpowers the words!
4. Work on figuring out how to use the Mini Simple Folded Corner Ruler. 🤷♀️ it’s a process! I haven't taken time to watch the You Tube video and I may have decided that I will not participate in this leader and ender this year. I'm still debating with myself.
Next Week
July 25th - July 31st
1. Work on bottom border for Spool Quilt
2. Finish and post ABC Table Scraps Challenge July = Red, A&G
3. Work on Poinsettia Bread Cloth
4. Sew some red string blocks and maybe some crumb blocks with the cut off pieces.
5. Maybe read 1 chapter a night in my book. With the possibility of no prime time TV this fall, I need to get back in the habit of reading!


The spool quilt border is beautiful! Thanks for the tip about tracing with interfacing. Do the Pigma pens wash out, or do the lines disappear when you stitch over them? I like your sign-off. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that border--your spool quilt is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe spool quilt applique is beautiful! I like the "one kind word"--I would certainly hang that where I could see it every day as a reminder to make that effort!
