Design Wall Monday, February, 3, 2025

I have the first blocks sewn together.  I hope to get back into my sewing room after Aqua Fit this morning.  I am anxious to get to more of these.  It will be nice to be at the place Kerry is; she has her top done lucky her.  Kerry's blog doesn't show it yet, but I'll bet soon it will be there.

Last night after dinner I started up on finishing a beautiful project that was started by my Grandma Alice.  There were four that I got from my Mom.  No telling where Mom found them.  This is the third one that I will finish.

Section B

All the applique pieces are cut, threads are all with the project as well as floss.  Most of the applique is done.  The kit is split into four sections (A, B, C, and D).  Sections A and D are the sides requiring no applique.  They contain the markings for the hand quilting design which are scallops.  Notice in the pattern photo the scallop finish to the top.  I have all the folded bias tape to finish it as well.  I have been wanting to take a stab at hand quilting...perhaps I will give it a go.  Section B (photo above) is finished. 

Section C

I will be finishing Section C first.  Grandma used a lot of techniques to put the applique in place, but I will be using needle turn.  Tonight before finishing for the evening I had four of the leaves down.  Each of the leaves get a dark green floss vein and some require a stem.  There is a use of dark green bias tape, but so far it looks like all of that vein work is done.  I am very happy to have something from my Grandma to work on as it reminds me of her.

Have a wonderful week =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, February 2, 2025

 All week when I could catch time sewing the remaining units were stitched for my Old Town Bonnie Hunter Winter Mystery.  I am calling my version Krakow.  The first 15 blocks were put on my design wall.  A little fabric movement to get the best version block look ensued.  I will work on stitching these together today.  

There are another ten blocks to get to the design wall for the same treatment.  It does go real fast at this point.  There are still the Parts that make up the sashing; they will be the next part of the project to assemble.

There was no movement this week to my stash report.  Rosie's week of sewing is this Friday.  I can't think of anything I need...  Happy Ground Hog Day =^.^=
