More Wed Work

These are the blocks for the cream Yellow Brick Road. I am making it for my niece, Kristin, to celebrate her engagement to Aaron.

Yesterday, Wed. the 3rd Day of my Sewing Week

More progress from yesterday, Wed, Feb. 1lth. Here is the clean and trimmed Daisy. She's exhausted! And we made quite a mess.!!

The Groomed (non-professional) Daisy

This is the Lutheran World Relief pinned quilt. First one of two for Feb.

 

2nd day of the Sewing Week

Here is my progress:

This is a Lutheran World Relief quilt I pieced yesterday and now it is ready to be pinned. Today for sure.

These are the 40 blocks for the flannel Penny Points Quilts. I put those second borders on this morning.

Fabric for Homestead Quilt ready to cut, probably not today.

The start of the cream Yellow Brick Road. May start piecing this sometime today. All cut out!

This is scruffy Daisy, bathed her yesterday will trim her today, she needs it!!

A Sewing Week

Tom left for CA and IL this AM and will return on Fri so I will be sewing like crazy. Here are pictures of two to the quilt kits I purchased last month when I was bored. I will be working on these, a Yellow Brick Road in creams and 2 LWR quilts. Will post my progress starting tomorrow! Weather is perfect!

I think they are both going to be very cute!

Border by Border

This is the mini quilt I will be trying to finish this week. It is a Quilt-Along project from Primitive Gatherings Quilt Shop. I have been working on it little by little for months and now am almost done. Just added that last border of little-3" churn dash blocks. Cute but tedious and now I still have to do the hand blanket stitching on the wool appliques on the last two borders. Soooo will sit outside in our beautiful AZ 70's and listen to the book The Invention of Wings by Susan Kidd will stitch away!

Happy Valentine's Day

Made some coasters!

Lutheran World Relief

My goal this year is to personally make 24 Lutheran World Relief Quilts. Grace Lutheran Church Service Workshop works on these quilts all year and in late Sept. we display them in church. We also put together sewing kits, baby care kits and school bags. All of these items are taken to a gathering center in Elgin and then shipped to somewhere in MN. Then they are distributed all over the world to disaster situations. Here is a picture of my two January LWR quilts, finished!! and my 4 Feb and March quilt kits.  The third picture is of fabric I have gathered for the 6 quilts I will make next winter (2016). Sometime before we go back to IL I will try to cut and prepare the 6 quilt kits for next winter.
