Mid- Month Report -late...

My NOVEMBER Goals are:

 1- Borders on Midnight Flight-  I have some parts pieced for the Border.

 2- Make Pieced Sashings for ALOHA LUS - haven't work on these, much

 3- Block of the Week - Loyal Union Sampler - kept up with the BOW 

 My Loyal Union Sampler Blocks for November so far

I have worked on some of last month's goals as well---

1- Parcheezi- to flimsy- [almost there] Trimmed and ready to sew to flimsy - Borders cut

2- Midnight Flight Blocks, sew 3 more blocks- Flimsy - Pieced Borders worked on.

3- Nabby's Dowry - Flimsy - Borders cut

4- Sept NewFO- ALOHA LUS - blocks are DONE

5- SBS Star Swap - Need's final border-Flimsy- Borders and Binding Cut

I took a day to go and cut out the parts I needed for the Borders of the Parcheezi, SBS Sarah Choice Swap and the Nabby's Dowry. Sewing these 3 quilts to Flimsy will go quickly now. 

I cut Binding while I was at it.

The Midnight Flight Border pieces were troublesome at first. 

 The one on the left is CORRECT...

  I wasn't sure how I had the 4-patch aligned for the finished piece.  

Luckily they are all going in the same direction, so I'm going with them going this way. 
 I could still change and put the blue to the outside.

My Lori Holt Quilty Fun SAL is my NewFO for November.  I've kept up with it also.

Design Wall Monday/NewFO - April 29, 2013

It's so nice to have something New to show for DWM.  It wasn't easy, I must say but here are my House Blocks. Dark and Light Blocks alternated and folded to see how they look together.

  The Orange ones will go to the Guild for the Habitat Quilts. They asked that we not 'trim' those.

 My first try with the Dark Blocks

The Top Row, with the chimneys is the row that should go with the Light Blocks.

I fixed the top row but then after this picture I saw that the two strips above the windows are flipped. 

I was the winner of the Froggin' prize.  It was that kind of week for me.

There were 13 of us making House Blocks on Saturday.  Eddie is a great teacher and she even helped me cut for my set of blocks to save my hand from hurting. 

Here is one of Eddie's Quilts.

 She has a Pattern printed up and we could buy it while we were there.  I don't know if I'll make any more but I could.  A lot of  the ladies made two color blocks. Different prints and shades of the light and darks. 

I saw a cute version using only 4 Schoolhouse blocks HERE. It's a Pam Buda design.  This would make a very cute Mini quilt. for my wall of quilts.

 The Brown and Cream blocks were the lady who shared my Table.  See -she has hers the same as I did when I laid them out. I don't think she made the mistake of sewing hers this way, I'll have to check later.

 

I should have seen from these first pictures that the top row was wrong.  The other error was all mine when I sewed the two strips above the windows, I turned them and sewed them on to the window unit wrong.  I even showed them around the room and they didn't see the errors.  I will get these trimmed and see if I want to make anymore. Maybe a two-color one, just for fun.

Design Wall Monday/NewFO February 4, 2013

 Remember these books?  I showed them to tease the other day.   Nancy Johnson-Srebro has a LOT of cute blocks in here that work up quick.  Some blocks have many pieces, 16 or so in the one I chose.

                                 I chose this block from the Block Magic, Too! Book, pg 12

 I had a bit of trouble trying to get the clouds in the right position, below. 

Had to get out the un-sewing tool to "frog" this one and make it right.  OPPS!

          Here's one made right.  Lining up the stripe across the ship mast meant extra pinning. I liked the Blue fabric that looks like water swirling.

I made four Blocks to start and am playing with ideas for final the layout.  There is a quilt in the back of the book that has a Lighthouse, Turtle and 3 Fish on it.  The possibilities are whirling in my head.  There is another sailboat in the other Book.  This Quilt is for the Quilt Challenge @ Trends in the Spring. It could be a Baby Quilt size or a Wall hanging.  The wait until Trends isn't long so I'll be playing with Sailboats for just a little while.  My 2nd oldest Son turns 34 today so playing with sailboats sounds fun to me.
