With cooler weather I hope to get out in the yard and prepare flower beds before winter; however, the past week was very productive for quilt projects. I hope to continue the momentum until the end of the month. After church supper Wednesday we had a great beginner class with two enthusiastic students. This Wednesday will be the third class. I plan to demo squaring a quilted top and machine sewing binding. All the prep work is done.
On other goals I have made great progress. You can see some on my design wall.
I have 3 columns of geese pieced. I am caught up with Pat Sloan's Block of the Week for “Hometown Charms”. Not shown I finished all the stitch in the ditch quilting on the watercolor comfort quilt.
Then I tackled the freezer paper pattern for the Celtic Fantasy quilt. The background templates are ready. The templates are one-quarter of the quilt.
Several sections still need an applique motif. The motif for others need to be customized more. It is a process. Tuesday I will check with my son to see if he approves of the motifs so far. I have a selected palette of fabrics but am anxious about which fabrics for each area. I hope that will become clear.
Goals for this week:
Stay safe and healthy while enjoying some time sewing and quilting.
