HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Whoop! Whoop! on Wednesday 11.27.2019

Well, I finished the brick quilt and it was chosen as a gift for a member of the guild's Christmas family (a grandpa!). Perfect. Only I didn't take a picture with the binding on. Trust me, it has the binding...lol

pattern: brick wall found here.

panto: large scribbles (I really out to change this panto out)

I like it, sorta, not real sure that I'll make another. There are other patterns that I like better...

Design Wall Monday 11.25.2019

So, my friend and table mate at retreat made this quilt from donated fabric.

It is based on this quilt, tutorial found here.


















I was aware that the Ocon Quilt Guild has way more girly quilts that boyish quilts. So I dug into my browns and cut for the brick wall quilt.

Here is my version...

Always a rebel...I wanted my streak to go the other way!

Design Wall Monday 11.18.2019

I decided to dig into my 2.5 inch red and blue strips. To jazz it up, I thought I would make the Jelly Roll Race 2 using red/white/blue little squares.

Good plan, right?

I followed MSQC tutorial.

I kept track of my beginning and end-to make life easier.

Somehow, my little squares are mostly clumped together?

I don't get it.

I'm having a comprehension issue...

Maybe I need to give this pattern another whirl?!

I finished piecing the next 'spare parts' flimsy!

It's a little on the WILD side...even for me. LOL

I'm also happy to report that NOW I can close the lid to my blue 'spare parts'! Yay!

pattern credit: I've had this itty bitty photo of 'spare parts' on the sewing room wall FOREVER!

More crumbs!

This is as far as I got today before calling it quits so I could attend my guild board meeting. Over the weekend, I made a few cream colored crumb blocks and a few reds to balance the design. I was surprised at the number of blues I need to make to complete this design!

Today I made more blue crumb blocks!

I then had the bright idea to dump my blue leftover fabric bin and sort out the pieces I won't use. I have changed the leftovers that I keep and which work best for me. The pieces I won't use will go into pillowcases to be given to the local animal shelter for beds...

Retreat Review Part Two...11.7.2019

At retreat, we also had two optional sewing activities.

The first one was a Quilt-as-you-go mug rug from June Tailor. Some how I ended up with the one with the flying geese! Not exactly my specialty but I stuck it out!

The second project was a grocery bag. I had a little trouble with this but fortunately my table mate was working on her second one and helped me through my first one!
















Edit: I found a link for this bag!

(you'll need to copy and paste into your browsers then head to YouTube/Shabby Fabrics to find the tutorial and directions :/ )

I aslo was able to set my 'Falling Crumbs' into a flimsy.

pattern inspiration: MSQC Falling Charms 

I aslo pulled the stack of yellow crumbs from retreat and started sewing those.


Now back to the sewing room...
