PROGRESS ON SEVERAL PROJECTS......

 I've made progress on several projects I'm working on.  First up is the Quilty 365...I was digging around in a box yesterday and found some more of the pink I'm using for the strips and no they weren't in my Pink Scrap Box...how did that happen.!  Just have to finish up the embroidery.

My Antique Roses are blooming.  I've lived her for 40 years and they were already here and blooming.

I started my Crochet Along last night.  You have to see how many you can make for the summer.

I have 3 monthly challenges I'm working on.  Color Challenge, RSC 2022, and National Day.  I got the paper patterns cut and pinned to there muslin blocks.  Just have to pick out the fabric and start cutting.

I almost forgot to post my OMG goal for June.   I have about  6 or 7 filmsy that need to be sandwiched.  That is my goal this month...to sandwich 3 of them.  

Hope you all have a wonderful Sewing....

 

FEBURARY GOALS......

 I've made a list of goals I want to accomplish this month.  

1. Get National Day Calendar Quilt tied and binding added.  This is my OMG project this month

 

2. Put another row on the Christmas Sampler.

 

3. Put the Polar Bears in the hoop to be tied.  This is my OPAM for this month.

 4. Finish row 2 of  SAHRR. and start the embroidery work.  and painterly wait for row 3 to be announced.  I'll start my Garden saying on the center piece, as soon as I make up my mind which one to use.  Maybe you can help with this...here are the 3 I'm debating on.

1 Gardening is the work of a lifetime; you never finish.

2. May all your weeds be wildflowers.

3. To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Just leave a comment on the one you like or email me.  

Since today is Friday, I'll be participating in the Friday Night Sew In.  

 You can find a list of folks that are doing this over at Cheryl's  place...Gone Stitchin'.  Hop over and check it out.  I'll be working on either my SAHRR or the Christmas Sampler or both.

I hope wherever you are, you....

 

PLANNING.......

 does not always goes as planned.  I was going to sandwich the National Day Calendar quilt this week, but as usual I got sidetracked.  So it's at the top of my list of things to do today.  This is also my OMG project for January.

What I'm stitching on today for Slow Sunday Stitching is the Polar Bear blocks....they have been appliqued down and now I'm putting all the embroidery on them...

Are you doing the Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop?  My day to post about mine is January 27th.  I've got 5 blocks finished.

I made a few more Tiny Tiles,  they go together pretty fast.  But it's going to take a lot of them!  These are for Scarp Happy.

 I finally made up my mind for the RSC 2022, I'm doing bird houses.  This will be the first one, red of course.  I'll be cutting my fabric for this today.

Hope you all have an awesome....

I HAVE A TA-DA........

 I finished the RSC 2021 Basket quilt last night.  I'm so happy I actually got a RSC quilt done!!  Isn't it beautiful, I think so.....

Now I have to make up my mind on what to make for next year.  It's going to be Fir Trees or Birdhouses.  This quilt is also for my OMG and PHD challenges.  

And since it's Tuesday...I'll add my To-Do Tuesday to this post.  My list from last week....

NEW MONTH OF......

September...so it's time to set my goals for this month.  I've got 3 quilts that need to be sandwiched, tied and bound.  I've had one of these on my list for a while...so I will be glad to get it finished.  It's my Indiana Leaves quilt.

1.  Indiana Leaves

2. Salt and Sand

I also want to sandwich my Salt and Sand quilt.  

3. Orange Quilt

These 3 quilts are my WOOFA, OPAM, PHD 2021, and OMG projects for September.

AUGUST ALREADY......

 July just flew by...I didn't get a whole lot done in July..just a few things done.  I did get my Salt and Sand quilt top finished into a filmsy.  Which will be my OMG, PHD, WOOFA, OPAM projects this month.  

The quilt top needs to be sandwiched, tied and binding added.  

I am working on getting my RSC 2020 together.  It's a slow process...hand sewing through 4 layers of fabric with "stuff" in the way is hard on the fingers.  I've got 2 rows together.  There will be 10 blocks in each row with 6 rows making the quilt top.  I haven't got the room to lay it out....so this is a partial row.  If your wondering what the heck this is...it's a crazy quilt.  The blocks are 6 1/2".

As for today, I'm working on my RSC 2021 block, I'm making baskets this year.  This month the color is Aqua.  

I'm also making a National Day Calendar Quilt.  Which I'm behind on making one block a month.  I've got Jan through April done...June is Pink Day....I've got a cute pink dress, it will need some embellishment before it's done.  But it's pinned and ready. 

That's it for today...I'm linking up with....

Slow Sunday Stitching

Oh! Scrap

15 Minutes to Stitch

IT'S A FINISH!!!!

 I finally got the Improv Quilt done.  I'm so glad I dug this little top out of the UFO box...I really like this quilt.  I didn't really want to cut more binding...I have lots of odds and ends of binding, so I like to use those up before cutting more.  This quilt fit the extra pieces of binding I had.  

This quilt is also for OMG and PHD 2021

I'm linking up with:

SOME PROGRESS......

 I have been working on the Improv Quilt all week ...trying to get the binding done.  It's almost done, I should finish it tonight...if I don't get sidetracked.  This is my Slow Sunday Stitching project.  It will be finished tonight!!  This is also for OMG and PHD 2021.

 I've also been putting a few more stitches into the Clams on my Salt and Sand Quilt.  It's a slow process!  All the components of this quilt was made with scraps.  The only new fabric added is the last border with the clams.  At the moment this is my Oh! Scraps project.

I got another row on my Band Sampler.    I really need to work on this more.  This is for my HSAL.

Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July....

 

IT'S A TA-DA DAY...........

 Well, it's done....the Teapot Quilt.

Not a very good picture...but this is my only way of hanging my quilts.  But I really think this one turned out really good....I like it!

Next....is the Tile Quilt...it's in the hoop waiting to be tied...this is my PHD 2021 and my WOOFA  and OMG projects for June

I'll also be getting the Indiana Leaves quilt ready for sandwiching this month.  All the blocks need to be sewed together...then sandwiched.

What else have I been doing....READING.  I finally found a book I enjoy.  1st Case by James Patterson.

Synopis

Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on another student's computer. Yet her mentor, Eve Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her -- as an intern in FBI's Boston field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats, one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank before the age of thirty, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability.

With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to "watch and listen," Angela's mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.

But that other phrase....Faraday bag....was like a piece of driftwood, something I could latch on to in the middle of all this unfamiliarity.   A Faraday bag blocks out any digital signals and preserves the device in  question  exactly as it was found until is can be forensically examined.

And  over at Pintangle this week, the new stitch is...Shell Chain....the link will take you to the tutorial page.

I like a new to me t.v. show I've been watching on Netflix...Designated Survivor with Keifer Sutherland ...it's really suspenseful....

On Hulu, I've been watching Homicide Hunter...really good show.  The show is based on the files of Joe Kenda...
