No TAST stitches, I'm behind 6 stitches to do.  Speaking of TAST...the new stitch today is the Alternating Up and Down Stitch.  You can see this at Pintangle.

I kind of got a few items done for my Alphabet Snowman Quilt.  I got my pretty blue fabric a couple of days ago...this is what I'm going to put the Snowmen on.


 My See ya Later Alligator quilt is coming along.  But....I've hit a boo boo that needs corrected. So I'll see what I can do with this.  It may get put in the "forgotten" box for a while.

To-Do Tuesday, August 30th through September 5th

1.  Get busy and tie the Red Work Quilt.

2. Catch up on my TAST stitches.

3.  Start cutting fabric for the Snowman Quilt.

SUNDAY STITCHING.......

 I finished my first Down on the Farm block....I've started the second one too.

Down on the Farm 1

Down on the Farm 2...I'll be stitching on this today.

I have a lot of 2 1/2" squares of muslin....I didn't know what to do with them...so I started making stars.

Don't know what I'm going to use them for, but I'll figure out something.  I've got 4 done...so I'll be working on these today  Maybe a Wall hanging would work!

 I'm linking up with:

PLAYING CATCH UP........

 I've been working on several things.....trying to catch up on my monthly challenges..  I got my Color Challenge for August done.  The color is purple, but it looks like burgundy...it's a deep purple.


 I also got my for RSC 2022.. August Birdhouse..

And the Red Work quilt is still in the hoop.  Every time I walk past it, I put a stitch in.  This is my August UFO.  So I better get busy and get it done. 

I've also got the last of the trees done for my See Ya Later Alligator all pinned, and ready to sew and got the white strip pinned. 

 


This is what I'll be working on today.  And finishing up my Down on the Farm embroidery piece so I can start the next one...which will be a nesting hen.   There is a small area to the left that needs to finished up.

Well, I've got a lot of sewing to do, so better get to it.  Hope you all have a wonderful....

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.  Can you figure out what it is!!!  If not, send me an e mail and I'll tell you.    splummer54@gmail.com

              

I've started putting my See ya Later Alligator quilt together.  It was a trip my hubby and I took about 30 years ago.  We went to Canada, once we got to Michigan, there was nothing but Pine Trees on either sides of the road.  This went on during the whole trip. There will be another row of trees on the other side... which I've already cut and pinned them, just have to sew them down...

the gray is the road...so it will have a white broken strip down the middle.  I'll also be adding in a car or 2.  As to if it works....we'll see, I've got a picture of this quilt in my head, now to get it there.

 

 That's it for today....have an awesome....
