Design Wall Monday, July 21, 2025

Here is the latest from Kerry.  Grandma Alice's Stitchery for Austin.  I just finished trimming it down.  It is just beautiful.  I know Grandma will be happy when she looks down upon her stitchery.

The binding and sleeve are being created to finish it up.  I am nearly finished with the binding on the Sunshine Community Charity Quilt.  Once it is done this one should be ready to stitch.

As for my Design Wall...no change here yet.  I'm preparing the Milk Can block now.  Perhaps Wednesday's post will have something to share with you.  Until next time take care and enjoy the sew =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, July 20, 2025

Fall Flowers block is done.  Next it is on to the Milk Can block.  It will be fun making the two mice.

Now the left side of the quilt top is done.  The Milk Can block is placed directly across from the Scarecrow block.  Slowly but methodically this project will move along.  I'm quite anxious to see something in the middle aren't you?

This project had an oops that has been corrected now.  Love how it was quilted by Christy.  Look at the solid green backing and you will see what I mean.  The solid red seemed to be obvious for the binding.  I'll work on this a little later today; it is already stitched down.

Friday while at Rosie's, Jean gave me her leftover Millie's Dresses units.  I am hoping Lorna will do the same when she gets to working on her project.  I will be making a second charity Millie's Dresses quilt with these leftovers.  I also cut out Gleaming; received from the 2025 Liberty Box, Fat Quarter Shop.  I don't plan to stitch this one right away...not until Autumn Love is finished.

I received Grandma Alice's Stitchery for Austin on Saturday.  WOW it is a beauty!  I will be sharing photos pre-binding with you tomorrow after I trim it down.  Kerry pulled off yet another fabulous custom quilt work in this vintage quilt that will be a keepsake for Austin.

Nothing changes my Stash Report this week.  Progress is happening though on Autumn Love (a 2025 UFO) started way back in 2020 =^.^=

Wednesday Workings, July 16, 2025

 

I didn't get it quite done, but only six pieces to go!  This one is the Fall Flowers block.  The circle piece at the bottom sits in the middle and the green pieces at the bottom fit just under the orange blooms.  It will be a tight fit, but it will work.  The green pieces will be done after I get the last orange bloom down.

Next it will be on to the Milk Can block.  Don't you love the mice.  I am looking forward to making this block.

Happy Wednesday =^.^=
