The sewing room is resembling a tornado zone, I really need to start finishing a few things so I will at least FEEL a bit more organized, but who am I kidding.
I was unsure whether or not to join the quilt guild this year since I was out of town during the first meeting. I did join this month and so glad I did. One of the things I love is bringing home a flimsy made by another member and doing the quilting and binding. Then another quilt ready for the outreach team to distribute.
The flimsy I picked was cheerful and bright, just the prescription for our increasingly dark days.
My fmq needed some practice so I did a flower in the centre of each block. In the sashing I just did a single line hand stitched with perle cotton. My first block with fmq was not so great, so I re-did it....I really do need to work at it more than once or twice a year.
Next up is are the Tiny Tuesday blocks, 4.5 inches. These will be a while. Most of these are from Angela at soscrappy
The Hexies are still on the 5 year plan :) All laid out on the bed, I feel like I'm maybe 3/4 of the way done. I'm thinking of a bit of a plain border on this. Anyway 158 done, about 50 to go!
On the design wall:
The X-Plus quilt has been quilted finally!!!! By hand, not very dense, just diagonal lines.
The binding is machine sewn to the front, soon to be hand sewn on the back.
All she needs is a name.
