4 QUILT TOPS......

 sandwiched.  Friday I spent the afternoon sandwiching quilt tops.  I got 4 of them done.  First up is Zoe's Flag Quilt.  It's in the hoop being tied.  

Next is my Boo Quilt...this poor quilt top has been neglected for 5 years.  It was time to take it out of the box and finish it.  

Next one on the list is the Red Work Baskets.  I know everyone said to put the baskets on point, but I didn't have enough baskets to do that.  And besides I didn't actually know how to go about it.  I added some hearts to the mix and this is what I got.

And last on the list is my Christmas Sampler.  I really like the blue border on this.  Makes the whole quilt pop.  Well, the picture doesn't show the blue border very well.  Oh, well...you get the idea.

Now comes the hard work, tying  and binding.  So I'll be working on these 4 quilts for a couple of weeks.  I'll post them here when finished.  They will go into my Quilts Finished  Tab at the top of my blog.  

As for today, my Slow Sunday Stitching will be working on tying Zoe's Flags.  And start the binding.

TUESDAY AGAIN.....

 where did the week go.  Well, it it's Tuesday it's time to report on how I did on my To-Do List from

last week.  Linda over at Texas Guilt Gal is the host for To-Do Tuesday.  Hop over and check out what everyone is working on.

1.  Work on circle quilt👎

2. Put the border on Christmas Sampler✔

3. Work on SAHRR✔

4.  GO to Hobby Lobby!!!!✔

My week went pretty well, for sewing.  I didn't work on the Circle Quilt.  I did get the border on the Christmas Sampler. 

 

Still sewing down bugs on my SAHRR. 

 I had a Doctors appointment this morning...so when I was done....I stopped at Hobby Lobby.  Got a big Queen size batting and of course I had to get some fabric too.  That big white blob is 10 yds of bleached muslin.  I was completely out.  Got some black, gray and a pretty green check.  It was on the clearance table.  So now maybe I can get a few of the filmsey's in my box together.

This week over at Pintangle it's Wk. 16 and the stitch this week is Coral Stitch.  I didn't get the Week 15 Butterfly stitch done from last week.  So I have 2 stitches to work on.  I did get my Week 14 stitch done.  It was the Cable Chain.

My To-Do List for April 26th through May2nd...

1. Finish the bugs on SAHRR.

2.  Do Butterfly and Coral Stitches for TAST.

3.  Put the Circle Quilt together.

4. Start a new project.  You can read about that ...HERE.

Hope you all have a.....

 

PROGRESS ON 2 AND SCRAPPY.....

 Tiny Tiles.  My pile of Tiny Tiles is growing.  I think it's time to start putting them together.

I put the border around the Christmas Sampler yesterday.  I really like the blue border!

And I put the border around the Dresden Plate.  I'm not sure about the black checked fabric....I may have to change that one.  I haven't sewed it on yet...so I can change if I want.

 Have a wonderful Saturday....

STILL WORKING ON........

 SAHRR quilt top...still sewing down bugs.  This time I'm doing the embroidery work when I finish a bug.  Last time I made a quilt like this, I didn't do that and took forever to do all the embroidery work.  I've got 2 sides done...2 more to go.

Today I'll be adding the border to my Christmas Sampler.  Laid it out on the design floor and put the border fabric around it, to see if I liked it....and I do!  Don't worry, I cut an extra strip for the shot pieces.  When it's done it will go into my box of quilt tops to sandwich.    This is #6 that needs sandwiched, tied and binding.  If I ever make it to Hobby Lobby!

I got my new issue of American Patchwork Quilts last week.  I've been going through it over and over.  There are 2 quilts I want to make, yea, I know, a new project, as if I don't have enough already....but they are really cute.

There are 2 that I want to start NOW!   A basket quilt and a Nine Patch with embroidery...I really like this one the best.  Sorry about the spot.  It's my camera flash. 

The other one I want to make is a basket quilt.  I love the different colors in this one.

Well, that's it for now....I'm linking up with....

WHAT I LIKE TODAY....

 I finished my Santa's House embroidery piece last night.  Now what to do with it.....maybe a pillow, wall hanging, mini quilt, or a center piece for a NEW quilt.  I haven't decided yet.

 

Today I'll be putting the border on my Christmas Sampler.  I've got the fabric cut, just have to sew it on.

I'll also be putting the border on my Dresden Quilt.  Just have to cut the fabric.   See that pretty blue spot at the top of the picture...that's what I'm using for the border.

If I get those 2 things done, I'm got a couple of quilt blocks I need to work on.  And a couple more embroidery items to work on.  So I've got enough to keep me busy for today.

SOME OF THIS AND SOME OF...

 that....well, my To-Do Tuesday list is kind of good this week.  Last weeks list...

1.  Do more Fall Sampler blocks.👎

2.  Do more Christmas Sampler blocks.✔

3.  Work on SAHRR.✔

4.  Add a few more circles to October.👎

5. Put the label on Polar Bears.✔

6. Do Week 10 of TAST.✔

The Fall Sampler made it out of the tub and that's as far as it got.  I've started putting the Christmas Sampler together.  I'm going to make this for my bed, so it's going to need a few more blocks.

My SAHRR is moving along.  I'm ready to add the next row of flowers.

I got the label made for the Polar Bear quilt and sewed on the back.

And I got week 10 of TAST done.  The stitch this week is Chevron Stitch....this is not one of my favorite stitches.  I have trouble with puckering fabric and keeping my lines straight.  But that is what TAST is all about...learning the mistake and practice.  If you click on the picture you can see what I mean.  Puckered fabric and my Chevron stitch isn't even and straight.

 And the Circles didn't even get a look at.  I totally forgot all about them.  I've got 22 of 31 done.  Then I have to put the happy faces on the gray circle...then I can start putting the top together.

My list for March 8th through March 14th.

 1. More Fall Sampler Blocks

2. SAHRR

3. Finish October Circles

4. Do Wk. 11 of TAST

5. Put a border around Dresden Plate.

Hope you all.....

CHRISTMAS PROGRESS....

 Last night while watching T.V, I started putting the Christmas Sampler together.  I got 3 rows all sewed together.

I've only got one more row to add on.  But, I think I'm going to make more blocks and get this top big enough for my bed.  It's a Twin size....so it shouldn't take to long to get enough of them done.  

While I was digging around in my fabric boxes the other day, I found some more Christmas fabric.  If all else fails, I'll some more on-line.  That's all I've got today.

FRIDAY NIGHT.....

 I'll be working on my SAHRR, I have lots of flowers to applique down.

Or.....

sewing my Christmas Sampler together.....

Maybe I'll work a little on both.  Then again I might work on my Neon Stripe Afghan.

I'm link up with FNWF.....Friday Night With Friends.

Hope you all.....

POLAR BEARS....

 is DONE!  I really like this quilt, and I wasn't to sure about the orange checked border, but I like it!  

Something else I like this week...I finally have all the Christmas Sampler blocks done...now I just need to sew them all together and add a border.  This is the final block.

I'm sure you all have heard about Kawandi Quilts.  I was interested in how these were made.  So I went surfing on the internet to find out.  I found lots of video's on this, so I watched a couple of them.  This is my First Kawandi block....it's not perfect and I made several mistakes, but it's a learning process.  I found this site, A Quilter's Table....and there is a lot of info on how to make these beautiful quilts. You can see lots of Kaandi quilts....HERE.   An added bonus, Kawandi means Quilts.  This is my first block.

I will definitely  be making some more of these blocks...and it's  a great way to use up all those pesky pieces of small scraps. 

As for what I'll be working on in the next few weeks...I'll be putting the Christmas Sampler together, making some more Fall Sampler blocks, and working on my SAHRR.  Plus some embroidery work I've been neglecting.  Hope you......
