I felt like doing something patriotic for this Memorial Day weekend. Kountry was stitched up quick as could be. This is a Fat Quarter Quilt Shop project from a year or two back. It has a dark blue to use for the binding and possible the better part of the back. It finishes at 27" square. I started the cutting of it at the recent retreat. Wishing all the families with military men who gave of themselves, served and returned, or are still engaged that provide the freedoms we have as Americans.
Another project that will occupy my hands during television night is prepared for stitching. The scarecrow block of Autumn Love. Pieces were prepared, turned, and pressed during my recent visit to my parents. Except for the hat, right Mom? I used several tools in my sewing tool box until I found the right one to turn the brim. I'm chugging along with this project.
Since I must have a project under my sewing machine needle, it is time to start cutting kits. This is the first of five I plan to work that is called Scary Faces. It is one from a previous Mystery Limited Edition Spooky Box from Fat Quarter Shop, just like Kountry was from Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Limited Edition Liberty Box. I won't be using the background suggested rather one that I have in my stash.
These are blocks I won from the December 2022 BOM coordinated by Tonya Althof. I'm hoping she may have some of the background left to make two more blocks. Sadly the light blue one at the top had the seam allowance cut off, making it unusable unless I add a coping to the block, but then I'll be cutting off the tips of the blue squares. I also need one more to give me the quantity desired for the project I want to make.
This is from Suzanne's Art House once again. She designs the cutest small projects =^.^= I have just the perfect green for the "BOO". You know how much I love Halloween designs. 2023 UFO
I know of a little guy who loves owls. Well he did at one time; not sure about owls now... Another Halloween project from the same pattern designer Suzanne's Art House. The two designs came in the same pattern collection. 2023 UFO
I have all the fabrics for this one that I have been trying to get to for a few years now. I want to have the quilt for this Halloween and I will be working to that end. I have had it out several times to cut, but this time it isn't going back to collect dust for another year. Besides there will be so much fabric left over to use on other projects! This will be called Kauldron. 2022 UFO
The last of the bunch pulled out to work on in the coming weeks will be the sunflower wall hanging that will be called Kianti. If you changed it back to a "c" chianti is a type of sunflower. There are a few variations in color, but this one looks like it will work for the colors in my home. 2023 UFO
As you can see I'll be busy with these. The cutting takes the time! Enjoy your Memorial Day.
