No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth--I've just had my face buried in machine quilting. |
| I'm not even half way through with quilting the 365 Challenge quilt. I am determined to get it finished before the end of the month, but I've had a lot of distractions. |
 |
| One thing I did finish was Block 7 for the Primitive Gardening quilt. |
 |
| This past Monday was the first 2017 Stitch Therapy group meeting. The plan is to make a crazy mat. A lot of gals are using patterns from Primitive Gatherings, but a few brave souls are going to come up with their own design. This is the beginning of my "Up North" themed mat. I'm still figuring things out and it may not end up exactly like this. |
 |
| I'm leaving for quilt camp tomorrow, and my "modus operandi" is to have everything pre-cut and ready to sew. I'm hoping to get all 41 alternate blocks sewn for my Civil War Jubilee quilt. First I plan to put together my spool blocks though. If by some miracle I get all that done, I have some string piecing to work on. |
 |
| We adopted Kylie last September. This photo was taken the first day she came home with us--she was a little apprehensive then, but became such a sweet and loving part of our family. She was only 5 years old when we had to let her go this Wednesday morning, suffering from renal failure. In seven months, she had captured our hearts and we are beyond devastated. Hug your furry friends! |
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Kylie. Losing a pet is like no other loss in the world (in my experience, at least).
ReplyDeleteThe plan for you crazy mat looks great and I like the gentle blues in your 365 Challenge quilt. It will be more beautiful when it is finished.
