THE LAST FINISH OF 2024 is SEW EVERGREEN! from Kwilty Pleasures

The last Sew-Along that Kim Hensley and I sewed for our

11th Sewcial Distance quilting was in September, 2024

but, its my last finish for 2024.

Kim and I love Christmas quilts

and this EVERGREEN Pattern by Cluck, Cluck Sew

was perfect.

I had lots of scraps to use from SWELL Christmas.

We broke it down into 4 weeks and

asked folks to join in. And one of the other

KWILTY GIRLS, Lucinda, did just that

using her scraps.

Kim used a FLURRY Layer Cake by Kate Spain

WEEK ONE

We picked our fabrics and cut the pattern pieces.

CRAYON CHALLENGE from Kwilty Pleasures

I have to admit..I color outside the lines.

Columbus Modern Quilters had a CRAYON Challenge

I accepted!

In a blind draw…these were my Crayon colors!

Raw Sienna and Goldenrod

I wanted to do something different and useful!

And my Charley Harper birds flew in to help!

I had two small orphan blocks

I set them in some mustard GRUNGE and scraps.

To make a journal cover.

Front

Back

I used card-stock and fabric scraps to make the journal section dividers !

I have been journaling my creative journey for about 10 years.

You?

CORK IT! from Kwilty Pleasures

I hadn't made a bag for myself in quite some time.

I wanted to use up some of my cork!

I found a pattern that seemed perfect.

I like when a pattern has labels for the pieces needed.

Keeps me organized and happy!

The red is cork and sew easy to work with.

I don't always follow a pattern exactly.

Sometimes I change up a pocket, add a key toggle.

My label is added.

I added a slip pocket to the front for my phone.

The pattern called for a zipper pocket.

All ready for the fall season ...

Let’s see how this all adds up!

I made all the blocks and added this huge 6” border.

WONKED OUT GHASTLIES from Kwilty Pleasures

Several years ago I was in a Ghastlies Wonky Star Swap

with a few Friends on Instagram.

All of us used white low volume backgrounds,

And added our own Ghastlies prints and stash for then stars.

These are my blocks!

They sat for years as I was unsure what I wanted to do with them.

I never rush into anything!

Someone gave me this pattern and a lightbulb went off!

I could do something similar, but different.

I made sure all the blocks were the same size and proceeded from there

And I found the greenish fabric in my stash ...
