March goals and April Challenge from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Well ..... March flew by didn't it! We are almost at the end of the month and what do I have to show for it? There have been doctor appointments, physio, snow shovelling, a bit of babysitting and some days of just sitting and watching t.v. or reading a book.

This top for one is done! All from scraps except for the borders. Yeah for me as I will never have to touch those scraps again. Part of my goal for April is to make a few more blocks from scraps. This brings a total of 5 tops to ...

February and March Goals from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

What did I accomplish this month for the Chookshed 2025 Stitchers Challenge?

Well, two tops. Yeah me!

This one was shown a few weeks ago.

This one was finished last week. Looking at the bottom section, it sort of goes too light compared to the top section. How did I miss that? No matter .... this will be perfect for the cottage or donation.

A bunch of luggage tags (sorry, no photo) got made for my niece and her family for their upcoming trip to Mexico. They would have gone to Florida, but not this year. My niece asked me if ...

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Well, here I was sitting quite smug with myself. Row 7 of my Chevron Log Cabin was ready to be sewn onto the quilt. Wait a minute .... something wasn't quite right!

See the column on the right? See those white squares? The backing for those two blocks were the wrong fabric. How in the world did this happen? I was so frustrated that the quilt sat for almost two weeks before it was pulled out, those offending blocks ripped off the row and then the deconstructing happened. All the hand quilting removed. All the hand stitching removed. Then the ...

September Results from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

October 1 .... the year is just zipping by much too quickly.

September was a good month for me, after all. I was busy with wedding clothing alterations and helping out with rehearsal dinner and wedding brunch. Glad that is over.

So, let's see what I did last month for the September Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge.

Binding got sewn onto this quilt and it is now finished. This quilt won't be shown just yet as I'm adding in some hand quilting around the applique. I know I'm fussy, but that is what makes me happy. Sometime in ...

Log Cabin and Enough! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

This is the UFO that I've decided to finish for my BIL. There are quite a few pieces already made and it won't take too long to see progress.

As I'm cutting out for some of the blocks, I'm also cutting out pieces to make another of this quilt for my sister. It will be queen size and will need lots and lots of wee blocks. The pattern is called "Fragments of Cloth" by Norma Whaley. So win-win. Use up scraps and stash for both projects!

Now, about the Enough bit in my post title!

This ...

Obstacles and Life from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

August has been a very busy month with life getting in the way of my quilting! Darn ...

First off .... what are the obstacles? This little guy keeps sleeping on my arm and preventing me from working on anything. He recently had a bout of seizures again and I just don't have the heart to move him off of me. I have come to the understanding that he won't have a long life, but he will have his best life ever! Poor little guy!

Still .... here and there another row of these hexies got made. This is the back ...

Chevron Log Cabin blocks from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

I've made much progress on this project this month. Between bouts of rain and then very hot weather and appointments .... this is my progress so far.

The beginning of this month saw just nine blocks done.

Then ... ta da ..... this is where they are at right now. The blocks had to be turned sideways on my design wall. It will be longer than wider. The triangles you see on the design wall shows how many more blocks need to be made. So, getting there!

A few of the blocks have been quilted up just so that I could see ...
