It has been so cold here lately that I haven’t been able to spend much time in my basement studio to sew. I have a couple of space heaters that I use….but then I forget and plug in the iron or an extra light and I trip the circuit breakers. LOL
But, I have gotten my February projects done!
First, here is my completed potato chip quilt on our bed.
There are 1,294 pieces measuring 2” x 4” in the quilt (that is the finished size; they were cut 2 1/2” x 4 1/2”).
It is a bedspread size and I believe it is the largest quilt I have ever made.
This was my January project of the month…..a program from The Quilted Forest that I am following on YouTube.
Now, for February I have my February project of the month as well as my green fabric blocks for the RSC (Random Scrap Challenge) from the SoScrappy blog.
What I have here is a tray made from a mini charm pack that I found in my stash. The pattern came from the Moda Candy book shown.
The large quilt block is my green Twirling at the Disco block.
The blocks in this second picture are my 16 patch, my 4 patch and the green block for Pat Sloan’s Traffic Jam quilt.
There is one more 16 patch that is not yet finished….hopefully the weather will be warmer and I can get back to sewing.
But, lest you think I have been doing nothing, I have been working on a knitted shawl. I am one the third skein of yarn and think that may be big enough. At this point it is over 200 stitches wide and the pattern I am following indicates they stopped at about 313 stitches. I would show a picture but it doesn’t look like much more than a puddle of shades of blue since I cannot fully spread it out at the moment without taking it off the needles. But as soon as it is done I will show it.
Happy stitching!
