Taking a Little Break

Posted on September 3, 2020 by katyquilts

I normally post every day. This week has been crazy and hard and there is no time for sewing. E1 has started virtual school this week and I’m giving Daughter #1 some help.

I’ll be back soon.

Another Beauty by Nadine

Posted on September 2, 2020 by katyquilts

Nadine is a very prolific topper for our Stitching Sisters group. This is another of her tops quilted by me.

Here is the pattern info she sent.

I love this backing fabric by Timothy Holtz. I used to have some of this!

This is the panorama I used. I’ve had it forever and have no idea why I haven’t used it. I love it!

Have a good day!

August/September Goals

Posted on August 31, 2020 by katyquilts

Where did summer go? Is it really the end of August? Sigh…time keeps flying by.

My goals for August looked like this:

1. Finish the two batik baby quilts. Done!

2. Finish the tumbler quilt. Done!

3. Decide on and start my next hand quilting project. Done!

4. Organize my fabric enough to get it all put away. The piles are getting on my nerves! Not done! Sigh…..

What else did I do?

I made this little quilt.

And I hand quilted this little top given to me by a friend.

Two pin cushions.

And I finished a secret sewing project for Fat Quarter Shop that I’ll be sharing soon.

Oh, September, how bittersweet you are! I love you, but you always show up too soon. Anyway, this is what I’d like to accomplish this month:

1. Finish the churn dash quilt.

2. Get half of the flower garden quilt hand quilted.

3. Finish hand piecing the Liberty hexie pieces.

4. Tackle another item off the UFO list.

Have a great day!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Posted on August 30, 2020 by katyquilts

I’m still working on these Liberty Hexies here and there and I’m almost done making the….well…..I’m not really sure what to call this shape!

I put them up on the wall to take stock. I need to make one more dark one for the bottom right corner. And I have these left over.

I hate having leftovers! Anyway, I need to decide how to square this up. I might cut Hexies out of this gold floral that you can see in the center here.

I could piece the center and figure that out later. I do want to come up with a system so I keep my final layout from getting mixed up. I’ll have to think on that.

Have a great day!

My finish this week was a surprise even to me! Tuesday when I checked my mail, I found a lovely little quilt top from a sweet, generous Instagram friend.
