40 Day Challenge – Day 24

June 27, 2020 10:20 pm ⋅

This is how Day 24 started off.  When I pressed the last seem  I saw what I thought was one HST turned.  Then I realized the ‘turned’ one was correct. Then I realized the flying geese on the left are turned wrong. My solution? Mark the block and keep going.  After quilting “all day” I have 3 blocks done.

This is the log cabin quilt my sister and i made for my niece and her new husband.  They received it today so now I can show it. A more in-depth report  in a few weeks.

 

 

I did get one other thing done.  The label for the quilt that I’m delivering tomorrow.  I had lost the piece of paper that I had the original piecer’s name written on and decided to make a label anyway.  I have a small bag with a few more pieces and my sister asked if the paper was in the bag. I told her no, but said I’d look anyway only to discover the quilter’s name on the back of envelope. It turns out I had her name all along, but didn’t realize it.

40 Day Challenge – Day 23

June 27, 2020 12:49 am ⋅

Today’s big project was hanging quilts to photograph.  These are the 3 quilts I made from the Sisters’s Swap back in 2005. Binding the 3rd one was part of this challenge. After the challenge is over, I’ll do an in-depth post on these quilts.

This weekend I’m sewing in the living room as my sister has the long arm going and there really isn’t enough room for two to sew in there. I was late getting started, but I managed to get 3 of my Frolic blocks completed. That brings the # to 9.  Since I plan to enlarge the quilt, I’m not sure how many I need to make.  Perhaps I’ll figure that out over the weekend.

Today I made 2 pillowcases.  I only have a picture of one and they are in the dryer along with the quilt.

Since my sister has arrived for the weekend, I’m in the process of setting up a sewing area in my living room. I need to track down a power strip and then I’ll be good to go.  On tap for this weekend is Frolic. I’d love to have all of my blocks completed before the weekend is over.

40 Day Challenge – The Halfway Point

June 24, 2020 1:19 am ⋅

Yes, Tuesday marked the 1/2 way point in my self-imposed 40 day challenge.

Here’s a recap.

  1. Bind the table runner, Narragansett Blues, and a customer quilt. Bonus pillowcase.
  2. Catch up on Star Studded BOM (still need to do the June block), bind Sister Swap # 3 and Then & Now.
  3. Bonus pillow case for On Ringo Lake, quilt Log Cabin quilt,  Good Fortune bonus pillowcase
  4. Not pictured – Hem 8 pair of pants with cuffs for my niece’s wedding next month.

 

I still need to bind the log cabin quilt. Sewing the binding strips together was today’s progress, and I hope to have the quilt finished before the end of the week.  This weekend my sister is coming over to use both the long arm and my sewing machine to attach binding to quilts, so I’ll be using my Genie to resume piecing Frolic. Then next week, I’ll see about binding Allietare.

Looking at what is left on my list, I’m pretty sure I can meet all of my goals, with the possible exception of the Frolic top.  But if I miss it, it shouldn’t be by much. Then it will be on to the next challenge — which I’m already thinking about.

40 Day Challenge – Day 19

June 23, 2020 12:29 am ⋅

It’s day 19 and have finished all but 1 of the Star Studded blocks I have in my possession.  I’m not fond of paper piecing, but I’m even less fond of hand stitching and applique which is what the next block includes.  I’ve finished 7 12-inch blocks which is what I started with at the beginning of the challenge, but I suppose I really need to do that 10th block before I mark this as complete.

Today during the Facebook Live event Stitch-On Needlework did, they showed this pattern. I’m not sure what it is that I like about it.  My original plan was to go swing by and pick it up this weekend, but my sister was on her way to the shop and offered to bring it to me. That saved me money, not only for the gas, but for whatever I would have ended up buying while in the shop.  I still have 2 patterns and the fabric to make a quilt and a wall hanging that I bought last summer that I haven’t even started.  Perhaps that will be my next challenge.

Up next really needs to be the binding on the log cabin quilt. My sister is coming over this weekend to use the longarm and while she’s here she wants to use my sewing machine to attach the binding to the 4 quilts she’s quilting since she can’t find the walking foot for her machine.  That means binding needs to occur before Friday.  While she’s here, if the weather is good I hope to get pictures of some of the quilts and I guess I’ll spend the weekend working on Frolic and assorted pillowcases.
