Stitching during winter weather

 Here in East Tennessee we have been having a bit of crazy weather….cold temperatures, icy rain, regular rain, freezing temperatures and now black ice!

So, when you have bad weather you sew! I’ve been working on several things:

This is my potato chip block quilt. It is huge! I think it is like 102” x 114”.  So far I have quilted 1 1/2 rows out of the 9 rows plus border.  It would be fun if I could get it finished before our next guild meeting so I can show it.


These 16 patch blocks are part of my RSC projects.  I am working through my 2 1/2” strips to work them up.  When I can’t get two blocks I am trying to get at least one 4 patch from the leftovers.


This block is for a free pattern by Pat Sloan called “Traffic Jam”.  It is another RSC project. The pattern has 9 blocks but I may make it bigger.


This block is from a quilt pattern called “Twirling at the Disco” and is large…..16”. Since each of my blocks will be the same background with different colors I may not join the blocks the same as the pattern, but I’ll make that decision later on.


Today is a day off since the library and county offices are all closed.  So I’m hoping to get more quilting and knitting done to move my projects along.

Enjoy your day,

Sherry

  1. So many pretty blue projects. Good luck getting your quilt finished. Nothing feels better than taking a freshly quilted project off the frame and getting over the finish line.
