Are You Still "Blue"

 Jan.is fastly coming to an end & it's been fun following everyone's journey of blue projects,in-between still trying to decide which pattern to go with for 2023 there's been a need to bake cookies ,we'll take any excuse to bake cookies,right LoL

there's been a lot of yellow finches coming through visiting the feeders& the woodpecker is back,I named him Woody LoL

back in the sewing room,while still in the deciding mode of what is to be my main quilt for RSC I'm working on the color wash method

there are so many that have caught my eye ,flying geese,mason jars,zig zag,a simple 9 patch......🤔could this be why we make so many? LoL

A Day In The Sewing Room

 finally getting my 2022 RSC put together,got 2 rows sewn together,I'm hoping to get it quilted by the end of this month, we'll see!

I'm still not sure which way to go for 2023 ,I'm leaning towards something big ,& quick 😄meanwhile thought I'd try the color wash method finishing my blocks out at 4"

A friend loaded me down with fabrics & vintage patterns,lots of beautiful linens,silks,cottons,denims, wools for apparel sewing,we get together from time to time ,- sew till we can't sew no more,there's more days like that in our future lol

I whipped up a few potholders/hot pads from some of my scrapes,I think the coffee print is my favorite

 

B Is For Blue!

 Here we are at a new year for the Rainbow Scrappy challenge starting the year off with blues,I'm still not sure which way of blocks I'll go for this year,the mason jar quilts have caught my eye as the teenie tiny Scrappy blocks so many decisions ! but I've got to make one! LoL meanwhile while I'm pondering that thought I'm making up some Scrappy hot pads in blues

Christmas In The Sewing Room

 I was hoping to get some Christmas sewing in but my right hand wouldn't let me with fingers swollen & excruciating pain,hoping to catch up on some projects in a few days as new ones are itching to begin lol 

Working With Borders

 cutting out the borders for  the little house quilt & getting a visual of how it'll look,there will be 3" border top & bottom & both sides with. 2" border in-between the  houses & block borders,I've got to get busy if I'm going to get it finished by the new year

UFO Finished Day 2

 Another UFO finish,these pillows got put on the back burner last year,with pillow forms costing  as high as $30 it's easier to just make your own,after all it's just a square sewn together & stuffed,pillow forms are 24x24 made from pressed quilt batting,fabric is pumpkin colored flannel 

UFO Finishes Day 1

 Can you relate to "I'm not going into the new year with UFO's (unfinished projects) LoL Dec  needs to be focused on finishing up the little houses quilt for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge hosted by So scrappy & a Christmas dress making day with a friend ,awww it'd be nice if that's ALL I had to do 🤣meanwhile  with Nov.coming so quickly to an end I'm determined to at least mark off last year's Fall & Christmas UFO's from the list LoL

The first UFO off the list is last year's rag Quilt that I finished up yesterday, I was in the middle of posting last night before midnight but fell asleep,ohhh the joys of getting older🤣this is the first time I've made a rag quilt,not sure I did it right,not sure I like it,but I'm sure it's finished🤣
