Make a quilt

Quilts are on hold until after the holidays. Haven’t really had time to think of them but mostly it’s not the time to lay them out and take up so much space. Looking forward to finishing two in the beginning of the new year.

Will work on quilt tonight with E.

Puppy quilt is layed out but not on frame yet. That’s next. The fun part is upon us. It will come together quickly at this point. I’ve really learned so much but I still have a lot to learn. Bless e for sharing her know how with me and doing the steps with me so I don’t forget.

The puppy quilt has it’s “frame” on it. Must purchase the batting and the threads this week. I need to rewash and iron the backing. It has too many folds in it I can’t work with. E liked it and so do I. It’s really turning out nice. If I work a little quicker we can get it on a frame. I’m not usually hurried but I want to donate it for the holidays so I don’t want to doddle. I will take a photo of this and post it when I’m finished. It’s too cute and so so simple of a quilt to make.

I put lots of blocks together. E loved it. I’ve probably got more than a third put together. Hope we have another quiet Sunday so I can do a bunch more. I can’t believe I’m actually working on two quilts. E gave me instruction on the Project Linus (pj) quilt. It’s a much simpler quilt. It won’t take long to make and it is so so so cute. We love it.

I like the sound of football games on TV. I don’t think I could sit and watch them. It was a great quiet football Sunday and I allowed myself to sew a good part of the day. I got so many nine squares together and it was a really good feeling to see what the quilt is going to look like. Miss E will be very pleased.

Will remove extra stitching from the doggie fabric so I can wash and iron it.

While I’m sewing my blocks together on attic windows I get to work on the quilt I’m making for project linus for the holidays. Me and E picked out the cutest piece of fabric with kittens and puppies and polka dots. It has a light blue background and the animals are different shades of tans. I’ve got a brown backing for it. I just need a little coordinating fabric in a tan to work as a matting. I need to get that this week so E and I can lay it out on her floor. It’s just simply going to be tied and we’re going to do that in a light blue that’s going to look nice contrasting the brown on the backing.

All my windows are sewn for my “attic windows” quilt. I’m looking forward to sewing them into blocks of nine now. I’m looking forward to find the time to sit down and sew them into blocks. :)

I’m happy to say that I’m near done piecing my squares for attic windows. I’m looking forward to putting the windows in blocks. I’m still not rushing though because I love the process too much to ever let it become something I think of as a chore. It’s a time ot relax.
