Updates

Here is what I have been working on (other than the surprise quilt.

This is the latest block from My Whimsical Quilt. I need to prep the next one.

This is the hexi block I am working on right now. Still have alot to do on it. If you see the red hexi block on the chart next to it that is the one this will be when it is all grown up.

This isn't a very good picture. Will try to get a better one for the next update on it. This is the scarf that I am knitting right now.

2016??

Hard to believe another year is over! Onward to 2016!

Today my slow stitching project is my hexie project. I have thought about trying inklingo for a really long time after seeing how well it worked for Karen over at Karen's Quilts. Finally about a month ago I bit the bullet and downloaded one of the hexie sets. So far (I have 3 done so far) I really like it. I enjoy hand piecing and really didn't like hexies when whip stitching and using EPP. I know alot of people love it, I am just not one of them. The printing on fabric scared me but Karen over the last year or so answered alot of questions for me and it is really easier than I thought it would be. Here are a couple of pictures of the project I am planning on working on this year. Since I have alot of other projects going also it will be a long term project.

First picture is the one I am working on right now. It will be the red one in the second picture. I have 2 of the first row flowers done and one of the jacks looking one on the second row finished.

Dear Hannah Quilt

Here are the first four block that I completed awhile back. I will be working on both the Applique Delights and Dear Hannah at the same time. I am doing the Applique Delights in mostly brights and the Dear Hannah in Ricky Tims hand dyed fabrics for the most part.

Slow Stitching Sunday - Updates on quilts

Here is the updated (as of last night) picture of Stephen's quilt. I am almost half way across the "row" I am quilting. Hopefully I will be able to roll it down tonight or tomorrow night after work.

 This is the Baltimore Blue that will be mine! I am hand quilting it in a hoop and Stephens is on the floor frame.

 This is the new hand applique quilt I am starting. I have the first block ready to work on. Maybe start sewing the pieces down tonight?

I also have quilted diamonds started from a long time ago that hasn't been worked on in forever. Dear Hannah that has been started but not very far along. Hopefully once Stephen's is done ( I am trying for his birthday the beginning of August) I will alternate through the rest and make some progress on all of them since I am finally able to do some after work some nights, It just took awhile to settle in to a new pattern with working full time.

Redos are Redone!

Ok I am happier with the first two blocks now with the changes.  They are finally finished, hopefully for the last time.

Slow Stitching Sunday

Redo of the redo would be a better name lol.

I decided this morning I wanted to change the leaf on A1 to look like a bud cause that what it reminded me of. And I just still didn't like A2 so I am completely redoing the fabrics other then the background. Here is what they will look like eventually. Hopefully lol.


I like them better. What do you think?

Go over to Kathy's Quilts  to see others beautiful work.

A2 Revisited

I really wasn't happy how A2 had turned out doing it all by hand piecing. So tonight I redid it using hand piecing and hand applique.  I am much happier with how this one turned out.
