Design Wall Monday – 1/24/21

The blocks are finished for the 3rd quarter of the wedding quilt. Now to get them stitched together.  I also finished 2 Easy Breezy blocks as my leader/ender.  Can you see them?

Five Blocks

After a day of computer and paperwork gathering stuff for my taxes, I assembled 4 more blocks for the wedding quilt and finished a matching leader/ender block.

Finished (or Not) Friday – 1/22/21

No new pictures, as Thursday evening was a long night at work. So here’s a recap of what I’ve accomplished in the last 7 days.

Runabout Bag by Lazy Girl Designs. I was able to cross this off my 2021 Personal Quilting Challenge # 1.

Not thread and needle, but I made a Mardi Gra mesh wreath.

I’m well on the way to finishing the 3rd quarter of the wedding quilt.

I just have one short end of binding to stitch down on Moda U.

Wedding Quilt Progress

It seems the only thing I’m posting lately is progress on the wedding quilt.  Maybe that means I’m getting better at staying focused.  I have my units stacked and ready to stitch together by my sewing machine. I even stitched a few together.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can get this section finished before my sister arrives to use the long arm.

3rd Quarter Units Are Complete

Everything is ready for the 3rd Quarter of the wedding quilt.  The pile of broken dishes on the left are sorted into stack of 4 – 2 seafoam and 2 lavender.  The stack on the right still needs to be stirred.  Each mini stack is the same fabric.  Tonight I’ll finish matching the neutrals to the broken dishes and begin assembling the blocks.  With any luck  I might have the next section ready for Finished (or Not) Friday.

Turning the Corner

Monday I was off from work, so I spent much of the day in the sewing room.  Strips of fabric were turned into HST. HSTs sewn into pairs and pairs sewn into broken dish units. Once I finish these broken dish units I’ll be ready to stitch up the next 16 blocks for the wedding quilt.

Hand stitching the binding on my Moda U quilt was also done. I turned the 3rd corner and just have another short size plus a few inches past the 4th corner to go.

Design Wall Monday – January 18, 2021

Too many YouTube videos and cheap deco mesh from the Dollar Tree. I would have preferred a smaller wreath base, but when I started this wreath I only had an 18″ form.  I think my SILs wreath is cuter.

Fun fact. With the exception of the mask, which she bought a number of years ago to wear to a parade, the rest of the trinkets were gathered attending Mardi Gras parades a couple of years ago.

I think I’ll leave mine up until the 1st, when I’ll switch it out for the Valentine wreath.  I’ll swap back, then on Ash Wednesday put up my Easter wreath which I haven’t made yet.

Now that I got that out of my system, you didn’t come here for Deco Mesh wreaths, but rather quilting.

It doesn’t look like much, but I took those HST I made Saturday and turned them into 32 broken dish units. Up next, making the lavendar HSTs for the next section of the wedding quilt.

Getting Stuff Done

This morning my Guild had a Zoom Sew Day.  Nearly 20 of us joined the Zoom call from our individual sewing spaces.  We talked, laughed and worked on our projects. I feared the sewing machines would be too loud, so I started by first cutting the fabric for this Runaround Bag by LazyGirlDesigns.  Once it was done I started cutting the HST for the next section of the wedding quilt. I made the bag after I got off the call.  As simple as the bag was to make, I didn’t feel I could concentrate on the instructions and participate in the call at the same time.  This is an item on my 2021 Personal Quilting Challenge #1.

By then we all realized the sewing machines were not too loud so I stitched, pressed and trimmed all of the seafoam HSTs I need for the next section.  Had I not been on the call, I doubt these would be finished.

My evening project was this wreath.  I think it needs more embellishments before I can call it done.

Finished (or Not) Friday – 1/15

It’s Finished (or Not) Friday and I’m not.  Or maybe I am.  I’ve finished 1/2 of the wedding quilt.  Even 1/2 of it is too large to get a decent picture of it.

It’s wider than my shelves.  I turned down the upright from my now defunct hanging system and added a yardstick to get enough length. In retrospect, I should have turned down both ends, not that it would have been any easier getting a photo of this much of the quilt top.

Yesterday’s block tally is 3 blocks for this quilt and 2 Easy Breezy blocks.

I need to cut more HST for the wedding quilt and kit up some more Easy Breezy blocks before I sit at the sewing machine again.  I think I’ll do that during the Guild Zoom Sew Day.  So, tonight I’ll do some more binding.

13 of 16

Yes, I was able to knock 13 of the 16 blocks needed in the 2nd 1/4 of the wedding quilt yesterday after work.  The other 3 are laid out on the sewing table, but I called it a night around 10 PM.
