I have enjoyed being home this week and have been productive on lists around the house and projects needing work.
Thanks to the positive comments on my pineapple, I got it out and made a go at the math for adding my coping strips. And in the end, didn't need any adjusting at all. On went the half square triangles and the framing border. 39 by 43 inches
This week, I hope to do some straight line quilting to get her finished. Such lovely memories of the exchange with the quilt guild for the blocks.
I also made 2 more project bags from my purchase. ( 2 more background and batting cut out) All the little ones are finished. It was fun to plan some quilting designs and quickly sew them up. Little projects are the best sometimes. ( unable to be seen in photos, sorry)
In the evenings with my hubby on the other end of the couch are spent in front of the tv. I have had my wool project assembled, but needing the hand stitching. This is a pattern and kit from Buttermilk Basin. Now all that is needed are the bits and bobs. Instead of 3 little pillows, I intend to assemble it into a long pillow. Each about 6 by 8
The pineapple quilt looks wonderful! And the Ho, ho, ho blocks will definitely make a fun pillow. I like being home and having lots of sewing time, too!
ReplyDeleteYour pineapple quilt is very striking and I'm pleased you got the tiny pieced border on without any problems. I love your scotty dog bag, I've currently got my scotty dog quilt over the top of the sofa.
