July stuff...



Gwen mailed her blocks to me. Max finished hers, but we haven’t gotten together yet to switch. Soon we hope. Very soon. 


This was a glass top table. I didn’t really like it. Went to the wood shed and pulled out some of the old wood there. Tractor joe did a fantastic job of putting it together and attaching it. 


Years and years ago I said “sure, I’ll take some pickets” that were in my great aunts garage. 
They received a good cleaning and scraping. Eventually they will get put up in the new location. 


Alley (Zander and Luke’s mom) fell in love with our new table top. They also had a glass top patio table. 
She didn’t like hers either.
The next day we were out getting wood to make over her table. 


I made some log cabin blocks and don’t really love them. So they are just a stack for now. 


Still using the small scraps up. I’m loving these. Still have a ways to go until it is baby quilt size. 


I’ve had this bundle of fat 8ths. I came close to opening it. But then I looked at my log cabin blocks, the pile of them continues to grow. The bundle was put back. They will be my reward for actually finishing something. 


Long Time Gone is a top. It’s ready to go to the quilter. 
Wow. I had more than I thought to post about!

something new started...


I fell in love with this pattern the minute I saw it. 
It wasn't on the radar of projects to start, but here I am starting another long term quilt.
I read through the book and decided that I would start with my least favorite blocks.
Paper piecing. Ugh....


I did 2 a day last week. I timed one and it took me an hour. That is just the sewing part. There is also the step of removing the paper from the back.
I need 8 more. I'll keep plugging away. I took my smallest chunks, and strips and cut them up. I went an 1/8 inch bigger and that seems to be working well for me.

This quilt is a stack of blocks again. I'm not sure how many more blocks I need.
Back to sewing the pineapple blocks!
