things are slowly happening
Anthology blocks have been made, I left the blocks with tiny pieces and did the easier ones first, now they are all I have left and I have to do them!! At least I have learned lots from making them and can do them a little easier than I would have 2 years ago.
I found some strips behind the door of the sewing room, they have been there since 2017, when the Bellarine Quilters had a challenge - mine was never finished, so I am trying to get it done now!
The KOGO blanket is finished and ready to be delivered.
An orchid flower has appeared on the plant out the back
more Anthology blocks
and this weeks blocks - I think I have 5 more to make and I am done!! Then begins the job of the filler blocks and the sashings.
The strippy quilt is quilted and bound now and can go to Oncology next delivery.
I was in the sewing room last Wednesday, hubby was watching State of Origin, I had finished the Strippy quilt and wanted some straight sewing so I opened up Quilt Recipes by Jen Kingwell (I had borrowed the book from Guild) and started to make the Daylesford quilt - I had told myself I was not starting another quilt and here I go!! It is going to be scrappy, using what I have on the shelves.
This quilt top was made by one of the ladies at Bellarine Quilters, she wanted someone to quilt it and as no one else put up their hand I brought it home with me. So this afternoon I am going to sandwich it and start on the quilting.
That is all from this part of the world for now
Happy stitching.
The anthology blocks look great. Love the quilts. The orchid flower is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are pleased your coming to the end of those Anthology blocks.
ReplyDeleteGood work finishing some quilts and the bucket.
Ah we can’t help starting new projects but I hope to stay strong till the one I’m quilting is done.
So nice of you to quilt the community quilt.
You never cease to amaze me with all that you churn out Sue. And I am not talking small projects either!! You take on some big challenges & it always turns out great. Wish I had your skills. Enjoy the weekend Sue. xxx
ReplyDeleteI cannot get over how small those Anthology block pieces are. This quilt is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou have been doing a great job getting some UFOs done this week -way to go! I think that gives you permission to start something new.
Can't believe you have been working on those blocks for two years! Looking great and nice to have the end in sight. The strippy quilt and the blanket look lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteYou are as busy as a bee, Sue, with all that you are stitching and knitting. Those Anthology blocks are going to look amazing when all stitched together.
ReplyDeleteYou have “Slowly” achieved heaps this week. Such a nice variety of projects. I love the Daylesford Quilt. It is a pattern that can have so many different looks depending on the fabrics used. I bought the book and have bought the papers for the Wensleydale Quilt. I just need to finish some other things first.
ReplyDeleteI have to hand it to you on a silver platter for those anthology blocks!! I would go crazy, so kudos to you!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are safely back home, have fun with your quilting! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely projects Sue.... good idea to work on the bigger pieces for Anthology first... only 5 left - great work. I love the Daylesford quilt - will enjoy watching yours grow...

You always have a productive sewing room on the go. Love finishes and it will be great to move the 2017 project to the finish line.
ReplyDeleteSue - sorry I have been absent so long ... so I was delighted to see your comment on my blog today - thanks for being so faithful! Love all your projects, and the orchid also caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteWow - very busy - I am really looking forward to seeing Anthology all together - its getting closer!.
ReplyDeleteI think Daylesford is a bit of a "do what you like" sort of quilt - a perfect stash buster.
The strippy star loos wonderful.
Love the strippy quilt. Can't believe you started the Anthology quilt 2 years ago as you have made so many in that time. So many finishes too. Well done. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI have admired your Anthology blocks since the beginning! You are always busy with your projects.
ReplyDeleteLove those Anthology blocks - my favorite is the yellow and green one in the first pic - only I'd either make it huge, or it would be the whole quilt! Your block looks fabulous, though. I also am enamored of the strippy quilt and saved a picture to copy a similar quilt for donation here. If you'd prefer I not, just tell me, as I don't want to presume ... but it is so pretty! Here you have an orchid popping up on the back porch, while I've probably killed 20+ orchid plants just this year trying to get ONE to grow after the initial flowers fell off! Obviously, they like you and your porch better than all my careful tending. LOL That is a beautiful yellow one.
ReplyDeleteLots of production there sue, put me to shame
ReplyDeleteThe orchid is stunning...... Your doing great with the anthology blocks.......
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Jude's comment...... Well done
