Now I know why I was so fatigued

Turns out I have had bronchitis and acute bronchitis for some weeks, and this would be the cause of my no energy. To compound things shortness of breath. So now almost a week on oxygen I’m beginning to feel my “old” self again. Stupid me I never went to a doctor thinking it would pass, but I really should have and caught this earlier before the need of hospital!

Well that’s behind me and I’m even working on Alycia’s mystery QOV quilt, plus it won’t be too long before we know what colors to save for Bonnie Hunter’s mystery. Life is indeed good....

Slow going

I’m still having trouble getting my quilting enthusiasm back. Picked up two kits at the last Quilts For Kids workshop, hoping it would help. They are finished, and I really want to do the QOV mystery although it’s over now!  I have a lot of charm squares, layer cakes and jelly rolls I want to use up.  I need a big shove!!  Here are the latest two QFKs quilts...

Wow..two months have passed

The long hot summer is over, and I’m back to the sewing machine. Finished four quilts for Quilts for Kids donation.  Now I can get going on Alycia’s QOV mystery quilt, and a couple other quiltalongs I want to do.

Another finish!

This is now quilted and finished, and ready for donation. Next to work on is the pineapple blocks. I know I put the directions somewhere...probably will need to search a bit on line! Searched my blog and here it is https://berylthepearl.blogspot.com/2014/10/saturday-pineapple.html

Started in 2013

Just about this time six years ago I started a quilt along, Nabby’s Dowry.  I pulled it out and decided to finish old projects before starting something new...how many times have I said that!  Well here is a quilt top about 40” square perfect for the smaller size quilts I’m making now. Even found some fabric in stash for the backing

And here’s one from about the same time, from a quilt along called Economy Blocks. Again I had enough blocks for a smaller quilt, so this one is ready to quilt

There are a couple more ready to finish, my pineapple blocks, plus an alphabet theme quilt. Will need about 3 extra pineapples, and have all the parts of the alphabet. Whatever the reason I put them aside, now’s the perfect time to finish them!

More finishes

These two quilts were made from Quilts for Kids kits I picked up at the last workshop. They are very similar

Next is the Jacob’s ladder variation

here’s what I wanted, now to check color placement..glad I figured it out with no instructions! Ahhhh

And now with a border...
