Still hand stitching....................... from Exuberant Color

Not a lot of time was spent on the hand stitching yesterday but I do have one long side and half of a short side stitched. I may take a break from it this morning and trim the second quilt and choose a binding for it.

The red double Amaryllis has one open flower now. There are only going to be three blooms on this one.

There is hope for more blooms though because there are more bud stalks on this bulb. The third one is still pretty short but they grow pretty fast.

My internet provider sent me a ...

Trimming............. from Exuberant Color

I got 2 quilts back from my longarm quilter and they are 2 favorite quilts. I got this one trimmed so it is ready for me to choose binding. It is all batik fabric so it will be a batik binding and will be hand finished.

There are lots of colors in this quilt so almost any binding color will work.

The back is a batik too. I think I will look for a medium value for the binding since there is a light end and a dark end to the layout of the blocks.

I finished pressing another huge ...

Log Cabins are rolling ..... from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

..... along! Time to get this project to the assembly mode .... which is exactly what happened! This is now a top. Backing has been selected. Another top to go to the LAer. Whew .... I'm so glad this is now off my UFO list and I'm so loving this top now! Have to confess, but I hated this project and was so ready to dump it way back when. Good thing I didn't listen to that voice!

Update on September UFO's from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Well, well, well ..... I had good progress working on these two UFO's last month. They are not finished tops just yet, but they have been moved along from just a few blocks.

My log cabin turned out amazing! I'm just in love with this project now. All the blocks have their applique. The chevrons have been trimmed on the sides. Just need to figure out the length and then trim. The fabric for the border and beside each chevron has been decided upon. Yes, time to get this beauty sewn together now! Amazing what happens when I concentrate ...

Those logs keep rolling along .... from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

This is where I'm at with my Log Cabin project. Lots and lots of strips being sub-cut and sewn to make the chevron borders. Did I mention lots of strips. The chevron (in the middle of the photo) has strips being auditioned for me to see if I like the progression of colours. The block on the bottom right has all the applique sewn down. The other blocks in this row have been removed and the circles have been appliqued on. The leaves will be sewn onto the blocks as a take-along project.

I've decided to make all ...

Ugh .... log cabin blocks! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Progress has been made on getting this UFO going ..... but not without some problems. Jack the Ripper had to come out and help me a number of times until I finally got the hang of sewing strips on in the right places. Because this is an old UFO, my seam allowance had to be adjusted a few times ..... until finally, blocks were being made. Then, being a tad smug because I thought I got a good rhythm going ..... oops ..... two blocks had to be fixed because one strip of fabric was sewn on wrong .... not once, but twice. I sewed ...

Scrapy Log Cabin Babyquilt from Quiltmanufaktur

Ich sage nie 'Nein', wenn ich einen Auftrag für einen Babyquilt bekomme! Und schon gar nicht, wenn mir lediglich die Farbe vorgegeben wird... Schwer zu erraten, um welches Geschlecht es sich handlen wird, oder?

Meine Tochter und ihr Freund haben den Wunsch nach einen Babyquilt für eine Bekannte gehabt. Neben der Farbe war noch die Größe ein Punkt. Er soll nicht größer als 1 x1 m sein - machbar! Ach, und er sollte nicht allzu kindlich aussehen. Um das Ganze noch etwas konkreter zu gestalten, habe ich ihnen einige Quilts gezeigt, die auch in so klein durchaus hübsch aussehen können. Wobei ...

A new building project from The Academic Quilter

Hello all! Hot enough for you? Ha, ha, ha, I crack myself up. I know we're all sweltering. I think my plants are taking the worst of it. This may cook all my tomatoes, and I think the peppers may be done. The petunias, however, are loving it.

So this week, sitting in my basement sewing room, I decided to get a start on making a pretty quilt for myself. Like all quilts, this has a backstory, but first, look at some pretty blocks:

Scrappy Log Cabin Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

A scrappy, classic quilt is my favorite kind of quilt.

So when Liza Taylor (of Liza Taylor Handmade) announced

that she was hosting a Scrappy Log Cabin Quilt-Along

in 2022 - I couldn't resist joining. And even though I am way

behind schedule, I am so glad I participated!

I took my color palette inspo from some beautiful yardage

I had in my stash. It's from the Kismet collection by Sharon Holland

for Art Gallery Fabrics and I used it for the back of my quilt.

I knew I wanted a layout that created diagonal rows of

saturated prints ...

Finishing the Log Cabin Quilt of Valor from From My Carolina Home

The lovely temperatures last week made quilting a joy with the windows open. A gentle breeze filtered through the open windows bringing fresh air in the basement. I was able to correct the tension issues, and quilting went fairly smoothly after that.

I worked on it off and on through the week. It was nice to advance to the bottom, knowing I was getting close to done.

The final rows of pantograph went quickly. This one is Fascination from Urban Elementz.

When the quilting was done, I removed it from the frame and trimmed it. The thread color did well ...

Friday check in: Mme. Curie, a flimsy + OMG April from With Strings Attached

"Meet Madame Curie" was Lynn Rymarz portrayal at yesterday's Clara Cummings Book Club luncheon. The setting was 1920 when Marie Curie came to the U.S. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae, as AAUW was then called, raised $100,000 to buy one gram of radium for her research. Since many AAUW members come to Clara Cummings it was very fitting. Dr. Curie sought medical applications to treat cancer but radium found commercial uses, too.

The second character in Lynn's program was one of the Radium Girls who painted watch faces and clock dials at the Radium Dial factory ...

Midweek: courthouse steps from With Strings Attached

Happy National Library Week! Zion Woman's Club members were at the Zion-Benton Public Library at 9 a.m. Monday to give donuts to the staff in honor of Library Workers' Day. (LWD was actually Tuesday but the library was closed Tuesday for planned construction.) ZWC led the effort the create the Zion Memorial Public Library in 1937.

Last evening I attended a Zoom program with Will Shortz, the puzzle editor of the New York Times and the NPR Sunday puzzle guy. It was interesting to learn about his life and career.

He wrote the essay when he was in ...

2020: a drive-by birthday parade to honor Sally

Saturday morning I attended the memorial service for Sally Zeit who passed away in December at age 94. I first met her in AAUW as our branch voter registration chair (coordinating training for voter registrars and then registration events). She connected my husband to the Lake County chaplaincy agency where he served as a nursing home and hospice chaplain. We attended many church services for which she was the organist. But I'd only known her as a fierce and feisty senior citizen. Her memorial service provided a life story of decades ...
