This first week of the new year I did some house cleaning and organizing before getting back to sewing. It took several days to get in the mood to quilt so not a fast start tackling my UFO list. Finally I quickly pieced and quilted the small version of “Stitches from the Heart” from Fat Quarter Shop. It is still free with 2 sizes. I chose to make the small one for a table top stand and I'm ready for February. All fabric was from my stash.
Next I pieced my Old School BOM top for a lap comfort quilt with simple sashing and border. I found the perfect navy fabric on sale. Quilting is not a priority since I have 2 comfort quilts already sandwiched and waiting for quilting, but I'm glad the top is done. Overall I enjoyed the Old School BOM. I learned a few new techniques and new quilt blocks. I especially love the last block (top left in the quilt) called “Christmas Blossom” from Little Bits of This and That blog.
Thursday I started quilting on my “Hope” quilt from G E Designs and Gudrun's 2nd quarantine QAL. Quilting is over half finished.
Hope your new year is off to a great start.
I'm linking up with Alycia for Finished (or Not) Friday.
Stay safe and healthy while enjoying some time sewing and quilting.
