HQAL March 2025

My hand quilting project has been to work on appliqueing the leaves onto the Garden Baskets quilt.

Here is where I was in the previous HQAL post:

If it weren’t for the great pillowcase race, I could have this done.

However, I am in a race against myself, and am a great procrastinator so far as this leafy border is concerned.

In spite of myself, I did make time to work on the border. I have about 24 leaves left to applique.

I believe I can get this thing done!

I have done absolutely nothing with the Beez embroidery project this month.

Here is where I was, and here is where I still am:

That is not to say that I haven’t done any handwork during this very short month!

Surprise!

I have gotten out the Garden Basket project!

Here is where I was:

After finishing appliqueing the leaves on a border this month, I was delighted to find that I only have one border left to finish!

I was so sure that I had only completed two borders!

Happy, happy dance!

Garden Baskets

I now have the last border of leaves all pinned and ready to stitch (which may, or may not, happen any time soon).

How about you?

Have you been able to move a project forward this month?

Have fun and carry on!

HQAL February 2025

I am delighted to share progress with the HQAL group! Knowing that I have to be accountable to you gals has definitely had an impact on me!

Here is where I left off with my embroidery last month:

In the meantime, painting has been happening!

I was sad to see the rest of the green go, and sadder to see the reminder go (somedays I really need it)!

However, my creative daughter says that she can make a new reminder for me, and that makes me joyful!

The Hubster will finish up the trim (I only do the sloppy stuff) and then we work on the floor (or maybe only he works on the floor).

It has been very cold outside!

However, the sun did show up for a couple of days. It didn’t warm up, but the snow disappeared for a time.

Winter Home

I have finished the next block, except for washing and blocking. I may just wait until all of the blocks are stitched before I do that.

The next cutie bee is traced and on the frame.

I hope to finish it before checking in next month!
