Lets Sew Quilt Along

Posted on August 8, 2019 | 11 comments

Block 11 of Segment 3 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is called By The Bolt and is designed by Becca Fenstermaker of Pretty Piney Quilts.

This block is a great addition to this quilt along. What would we do without our precious bolts of fabric?

One of the other participants got the idea to tilt one of the bolts, and I really liked the idea.

So I decided to tilt one of my bolts.

Sometimes ( a lot of times) I simply have to laugh at myself.

Do you see something wrong with this picture?

I cannot believe that I didn’t notice until after I took this photo!

Really?

I will be getting together with Jack the Ripper and remaking a part of this block!

I really don’t have floating bolts of fabric on my shelves. Do you?

Frog in a little pond can be much happier than fish in a vast ocean! -Mehmet Murat ildan

“We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.” – Mao Zedong

*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

“Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. The song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again. All these sights and sounds and smells will be yours to enjoy, Wilbur—this lovely world, these precious days…” – E.B. White

I have decided not to participate in OMG (One Monthly Goal) this month. I feel a little overwhelmed…so much to do and not enough time. Which is ridiculous because setting goals with OMG has really helped me to get things done. It must be the public accountability. LOL!

In reality, I simply to need to focus…little by little, inch by inch, everything is a cinch.

Ahem.

Will someone come and paint my living room for me? I just wanna sew! Ha, ha!

I do have an update on my Candace quilt for you.

As I previously stated, nothing is fused, so if I decide to change something I can easily do so.
