I guess it's been a while since I last posted. I've been working hard on getting my September UFO quilted, as well as some other distractions--lol!
I'm feeling a little ashamed, but I couldn't help but take a trip to St. Cloud last week to add twelve-plus yards of fabric to my stash. A $5-a-yard Gruber's sale was more than I could resist. Mr. Moosebay chauffeured, and we had a nice lunch out, so it was a good great day!
 |
| Another distraction--the Circa 2016 blocks--they are always fun to make. These are from September 2nd--I still need to get going on last Friday's nine patches. |
 |
| I just spotted a big boo-boo in one of these 365 Challenge blocks! I guess I'll be doing a little reverse sewing after my walk this afternoon. I'm almost caught up with this week's blocks--always a good feeling. |
 |
| A couple weeks ago, we were given the pattern for one of the twelve inch corner blocks--it gives me hope that the ending will be coming! |
 |
| I'm thrilled that I can check another Finish-A-Long goal off my list. These are place mats that I made from practice blocks during an online EQ7 class. I handed them off to awesome Arlene last night at our quilt guild meeting. She takes care of collecting them for Meals on Wheels. They will go out with Christmas meals later this year. |
 |
| I needed a leader/ender project, so I decided to add to my Temecula Olympic Challenge quilt top. These scrappy four patches are perfect to use up more squares from my stash! Linking with Scraptastic Tuesday HERE |

All fantastic work! Your placemats are especially luscious.
ReplyDeleteLove your circa 2016 star blocks! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou have done an awesome job keeping up with the 365 challenge. I printed off 2 days and then had a reality check. The placemats will be a cheerful touch for the meals on wheels recipients. It's a generous gift. It's amazing what can be accomplished with a leaders and enders project. Yours is looking great.
ReplyDeleteThose blues are beautiful! And I love the idea of placemats for Meals on Wheels.
