Sew Let’s Quilt Along

Since I went on vacation, I got a bit behind in the Partners in Design Quilt Along.

Block four is a super cute block featuring spools of thread.  Actually, there are two versions, and I chose the Spinning Spools version to make.

The directions were very good, and I had no problems in the making of this block!

A Stroll in the Garden

“If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.” — Audra Foveo

 

What is blooming in my garden?

The pie cherry tree is.

May OMG Goal 2019

Remember the Aunt Bea Parlor embroidery quilt?

Yeah…it has been a while.

I think that October 2017 was the last time that I shared anything about it.

I put the quilt on a hanger and left it in the closet.  Why, I wonder?

I may have been having a border issue, as in…my border wasn’t fitting the way the pattern said.  Maybe I got frustrated. 

And, no maybes about it, when I am done with this project, I will not be cutting triangles for borders before the top is sewn together.

For now, I will be satisfied to lose points and get the top done!

So that is my goal for May.

I am linking up with Elm Street Quilts to keep me accountable and motivated!
