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!

ScrapHappy Saturday!

My yellow sewing has been minimal. I continued with Bright Birches at the Sleep-in-your-Own-Bed Retreat. 

There is another yellow one and a lime green that looks kinda yellow!

 Some patriotic stars happened, some yellow and gray whirly blooms, a beehive panel, and a library employee in a yellow shirt who demonstrated the use of their Cricut machine. It’s available to check out! 

I didn’t have permission to share these photos, so tried to block faces. A busy couple of days. I’ll go back this morning and pack up. Then I have to visit a lemonade stand that my great grandson is working. Then laundry and packing for our short trip early next week.

ScrapHappy Saturday Some yellow

Not much yellow was sewn this week. I’m still trying to work out the arrangement of the Full Stop rows. It’s a bit of a puzzle! I even enlisted the help of Minnie and Rudolph! There was even a small black spider who wanted to check out my blocks, but didn’t want her picture taken! 

This may not be the final layout!

And only one yellow Bright Birches was constructed! Though there are bits and pieces of yellow in lots of the birches strips! In fact, the yellow square is still under construction 🚧! 

Today I’m attending an Herb Festival with friends. It’s put on my our county Master Gardeners. Should be fun, and I’m sure I’ll learn a lot! 

I’ll link up with Angela at So Scrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday! There will lots of yellow happening from other Rainbow Scrap Challengers this week, I’m sure! 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
