This week, I wanted to get caught up on my ThimbleCreek mystery blocks before the finishing instructions come out on Tuesday. |
| But before I could do that, I had to get all the pieces for Stars in the Garden off my cutting table. I managed to get them sewn into three pieces--only two seams left to go! |
 |
| Yesterday, I finally got a chance to work on the mystery blocks. I'm pretty sure this will be a row quilt, but you never know. I do know that Joe loves checkerboards, so I won't be surprised if the finishing instructions include a bazillion of them! |
 |
| I've already mentioned that I bought this little book (and the rulers).... |
 |
| ...so I had to pick up the triangle papers needed for the patterns in the book(designed to be used with charm squares)... |
 |
| ...and this big bundle of Miniature Gatherings that includes twelve cute shirtings! You can see in the background that I also added several (four!) yards of blue Grunge to the stash--it's the perfect shade of denim blue, so I had to have it! |
 |
| Before I do any Little Gatherings sewing, I'll be finishing up my tiny Tucker. I'm doing a bit of hand quilting on it--it doesn't need much! |

Fun to see all of these fabrics, and blocks and colors galore here today!
ReplyDeleteI love your Tiny Tucker mini - your fabrics are gorgeous! With handquilting it will be marvelous! I've been unsuccessfully looking in every quiltshop I've been to - looking for those rulers. I hope you will comment on them after you've used them. I look forward to seeing how all those great blocks go together in the mystery :0)
ReplyDeleteThe Stars in the Garden looks so great! I'm making one too so I know how much work goes in to it. But, it is satisfying work.
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing your tiny gatherings.
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my but you are busy! Very clever to sew your hexies into sections - I can't remember if I did that when I made mine. Hope I can get the flying geese made for my Tucker quilt soon - it was a fun project! Our tastes are so similar, it isn't even funny! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sewing week you've had. It looks like you'll be finishing things soon so it won't be long before you can break into that fabulous fat quarter pack, book and rulers. I'm ready for the final instructions of the Thimblecreek mystery quilt. Hope it won't be too complicated.

ReplyDeleteWow, oh wow ... I don't know where to start as everything is go absolutely gorgeous! I already have (and love) the itty bitty rulers ... so I guess I *must* add to my collection the book and that fat quarter bundle, right?
ReplyDeleteThat fabric bundle is making me drool :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of hand stitching Tucker!
Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching
Your hexie quilt is awesome--mine is in the works. Love the Primitive Gatherings rulers and I find using HST papers do lead to more accuracy
ReplyDeleteI think you must have more hours in your day than the average person judging by what you have accomplished in a week! I love seeing all your projects, your work is lovely and it inspires me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to read this and see how much we have in common (as Gayle said). You inspire me to keep going on my Stars in the Garden Seeing how wonderful yours is makes me actually want to stitch more hexies--and that is rare. : )
ReplyDeleteI also purchased the Little Gatherings book and the Miniature Gatherings FQ bundle, And I'm working on my version of Tucker. Small quilting world! : )
The Tiny Tucker quilt is gorgeous and I agree with you about the blue Grunge - horrible name for beautiful fabric though
ReplyDeleteYou've been so busy Karen! Your stars in the garden is looking fab, it's exciting when you've only got a couple of seams left to go :) I hope you enjoyed your slow stitching at the weekend, I'm a little slow catching up with everyone this week.
ReplyDeleteI read the newsletter just this morning and see that the final reveal of the mystery quilt is delayed.
ReplyDeleteYou always work on the best projects!! I love your starry hexies! and your mystery blocks look wonderful, and you are going to have lots of fun with that lovely stack of fabrics.
