I put in a lot of overtime at work this week, and I was too tired to do much of anything else.
So I laid out some bow ties on the design wall and I like this layout:
I am quite happy with this scrappy project. I’ve used up lots of old fabric and thread spool ends and bobbins of threads. The only new fabric is the cheddar.
I’ve been making bow ties on a nonregular basis since June of 2018.
I may be looking for a new leader/ender project soon.
Quilt On!
If I counted correctly (and that is questionable), then I should have 768 bow tie blocks in this basket.
That is enough to sew these into bigger blocks for a layout.
Hubby made a frame for the Farm Girl stitchery, so she is completely finished and ready for gifting!
I love how she turned out!
The birdhouse project (I really should name this thing) has gone from the designing stage to the fused applique stage.
I really like it now…definitely enough to finish it!
This is my first post using the ‘new’ WordPress editor. I am a bit lost, but I am figuring it out. Except that I cannot seem to make photos clickable anymore. Hmmmmm?
*I have figured out how to make my photos clickable! At least for now!
Quilt On!

I had a very pleasant Saturday afternoon off from the day job, so I spent the time doing some prep work for sewing.
Bonnie Hunter had a leader/ender bow tie challenge back in 2011. I decided to make this quilt back in 2018 (you can see that post here, and you will find a link to BH). No hurry. Nope. None at all.
I’ve been out of cut squares to make more bow tie blocks, so I cut a few more. I don’t have a picture of those, but I do have a picture of the finished blocks.
There are more than 578 little bow ties in this basket!
Remember the Lets Sew Quilt Along?
I have finally pin basted it!
While I had the pins and table set up, I pin basted Floral Reflections, too.
The inspector got involved…she had to check out the safety aspect!
I will be working on ESS (Every Stinking Seam…Cindy Needham’s version of SITD…Stitch in the Ditch). This will take a while!
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Quilt on!
