I’ve done half the clues and the other half is cut out. Then clue 2. Today I needed to rest mostly after an exhausting Thanksgiving…but good. I did make a pumpkin pie and some cranberry jam. The jam is a new recipe I overcooked the pie and I think maybe cooked the jam too long…oh dear nothing’s as easy as it used to be!
That’s what this quilt reminds me of…it’s very colorful The back is a micro fiber sheet, need to take another photo and I’ve cut our a few of the pieces of Bonnie’s mystery quilt. There’s no reason why i can’t keep up with the clues!
First quilt I’ve put together and quilted in a long time. Boy it’s harder than it used to be…just need to bind it then can start on Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilt. I haven’t done the last two mysteries but I intend to since I have the fabric. I miss my quilting buddy, my sister, we always did these together. I have a couple projects lined up. It feels good to be back in the sewing room , poor thing has no name…
Time is fast approaching when this is due, better get hustling. This looks different than it did on my design wall due to my errors transferring from the wall to the sawing machine! But I’m not fiddling with it any more…
I finished the apron, it is huge but still works, maybe I’m not wearing it correctly!
Seems like I prefer to do three things at once. I downloaded a free apron pattern as a way to ease back into sewing and quilting. Then a local quilt shop gave away a set of strips to be made into a quilt for Sub for Santa and due November 25th. Then I got interested in the quilt jacket. So all 3 projects are under way. AnOther thing going on is knitting every day for cancer (3 projects going on). Today is cloudy and truthfully I don’t feel like doing anything 😀! But my goal is to finish as much as possible before Bonnie Hunters mystery at the end of November ..Creamie likes the pinks and purples for the mystery plus she likes the sun streaming in the window
I don’t know how I got started on this quilted jacket. My niece was making one for her mother, My sister, and I thought it was so cute. The idea is from the Laundry Basket blog. Meanwhile, my sister and I used to quilt together. We made so many of Bonnie hunters mysteries. I made mine full size and she made hers half or 3/4. She’s the math major and I couldn’t figure out the math so I always made the full size. Well, my sister got dementia and no longer quilts so all of her fabric and unfinished quilt tops went to her daughter who is also a quilter. Barbara, her daughter sent me one of my sisters quilt tops which just happened to be on Ringo Lake. So I followed the instructions cut up the quilt top and I am now quilting the pieces getting ready to put it together. You cut up a sweatshirt to use as a pattern and also it is the batting. Here are some photos. I about cried cutting up my sister’s work, however there are pieces left over to make hot pads so nothing goes to waste
