Block Sewing November and More VA Quilts

Linda and I managed to fold and bundle about 45 of the second wave of quilts before we gave up for a dessert and a few games of Rummikube.

These are the leftovers - at least we got them out of the den and will finish these in a few days.

We have Pine Tree on Nov 8th and will probably get a few more quilt then.

I finished making  Pine Tree's Block of the Month for November so that I can hand them in on time.

This is the more challenging one. Nice and graphic - nine inch blocks. Every one got a piece of the light fabrics to the them together.

This a challenge blocks from the patriotic quilt table - Road to Oklahoma.  The gal who wrote the directions did a great job.  They were vert specific and clear even down to pressing.  

This is the other Block of the Month - Easy category.

Boxy Stars - a free pattern from Bonnie Hunter Blog.

Not crazy about how mine look - I made extras and will turn them in for whomever wins them.

The leaves have turned in the past couple of days - makes the view out my front windows very pleasant.  Glad we get to recoup that hour we gave up in the spring. 

Sewing Time

 I sewed this quilt top Thursday afternoon at our sewing time.  It is a kit with pattern that I picked up at Capital Quilters Guild last month.  I hope to layer and quilt it today and get it back to the Guild tomorrow evening.  The kits are so easy to do. Most times the strips have been pre-cut and the backing fabric is included also.

I volunteered to make at least 50 napkins for Vacation Bible School.  They provided the fabric- a light yellow poly-cotton.  I don't use my serger much but it sure comes in handy for projects like this. I bought this elna 5 thread in 1990.  I have made many window treatments, pillow shams and dust ruffles etc.  

I have machine appliqued four plates to background squares.  The squares are cut 20" but I may trim them an inch or so.  It looks like there will be a big blank in the corners when the blocks are joined.
