Background work

Often, when I have a few minutes to sew, I can either stitch, or cut out fabric, but not both.

Thursday, I stitched ... Lots of "crumbs" foundation-pieced onto skinny paper tape (like these ones I made).



I also stitched some pink and white T-Shirt squares ... Made most of the "twosies" into four-patches.


Friday I cut backgrounds ... for the pumpkin quilt and for the crumb quilts.

Weather Quilt: Week 51 of 52

This quilt top is almost done!
More pictures later ... when the weather is more suited to an outdoor picture!


This has been a fun project this year. I'm hoping to work on backing and quilting early in the new year.

Pink T-Shirt Squares

Started stitching these last week: a couple hundred pink and white T-shirt squares.


Planning for this to be a fun, customized cozy quilt!

More details later!

Little Quilts on the Clothesline

I put binding on these little quilts last week.


One's my latest Crumb Quilt (See this post also.)


One's a simple two-fabric quilt that was perfect for practicing a new quilting design. Here are the first few rows of quilting. (It got better as I went along!)


As often happens, I accidentally picked a really windy day for taking pictures!



These quilts are both baby-sized quilts, and ready to be given away!

Kitchen linens again!

It's not very glamorous, but so practical: kitchen washcloths made from a tablecloth!



Because making 38 kitchen washcloths is one of my favorite ways to use a thrifted $2 cotton tablecloth!

The pumpkins ...

So, I've got about 50 of these pumpkins started ... All the orange is done.

I'm working on background now. 


I've got backgrounds on a dozen or twenty pumpkins so far.


So far, so good!

It's beginning to look a lot like ...

Christmas Trees!


Here are some little Christmas Trees in progress. 


I've got a hundred fifty-something of the trees made, and a layout that requires 149, so that's good. 


Now, they're put together in a quilt top!


This quilt-top-center is about 50" x 65"; I'll be putting 3 simple borders on to make it bigger.
Yesterday, I cut borders out, and I cut the fabric for the pieces quilt back.


Progress! More to come soon!
