Sew Let’s Quilt Along Segment 1 Wrap Up

Posted on May 11, 2019 | 21 comments

I have finished Block 5 of Segment 1 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL.

As with the other blocks, the instructions are well written and easy to follow.

I have not embellished my quilt shop block because I am undecided as to what I would like to do, and how I want to do it. To embroider, or to use a fabric pen? Where to put a kitty…maybe peeking from behind a potted plant? Hmmmmmmm.

To wrap up Segment 1, participants are asked to show a photo of our five blocks together.

I like seeing them together…this has been a fun project for me, and I appreciate the designers making it so! They are doing a wonderful job!

May OMG Goal 2019

Posted on May 7, 2019 | 19 comments

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!

MOD Bear Paw QAL Finished

Posted on April 7, 2019 | 18 comments

Back in October 2016, Lorna, at Sew Fresh Quilts, designed and hosted the MOD Bear Paw QAL. I fell in love with her quilt, and had to have it, so I joined in the fun.

I am happy to say that I have finally finished the quilt!

Here it is after finishing the quilting:
