Finished or Not Finished Friday! Quilting. Cross stitch and jelly making!








I haven’t posted here in a while. And I still don’t have a finish! But I’m closer than I was. I have 14 blocks on the design wall. 6 more solids cut and ready for strip insertion. Then there will be rearranging. No, I will not leave those orange and red blocks together! That is just how they came out of the project box when I got back from retreat! 



No time has been spent in the sewing room since last Sunday. We were on a short road trip and Thursday I did some counted cross stitch. 


Progress made on the sunflower stems! A friend was working on a new fall project. This is the backside of her chart! The stitcher sitting to my right and I were attracted to these lovely designs from Stoney Creek. No affiliation but I will order the Autumn Bell Pull and After the Harvest! Gorgeous!




I guess I do have one small finish on this cool Friday morning!  A small batch of chokecherry jelly! Don’t you just love the “ping” that happens as the jars cool?  I have a varied selection of jar sizes! But all are beautiful! 



Another batch tomorrow! 



I’ll just keep plugging away, and eventually there will be a finish in the sewing room. Then I’ll post about it and continue with another project that need finishing! And Sew On! 😀

I’m linking up with Alycia at Finished or Not Finished Friday! There will be lots of finishes at her Linky party! Go see! 


Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!

  1. The birch blocks are really coming along, Judy! I love the scrappy trunks against the different backgrounds. That Autumn Bell Pull is a pretty design. I'm trying to decide what to stitch on next, too!

  2. I love your birch blocks - makes me want to try a few. Does chokeberry taste like blackberry?

  3. I too want to try those birch blocks. Are they hard or fiddly to do? I love yours and it's going to make a great quilt. Love the jelly/jam making too. You keep busy, Judy which is a good thing.
