Catching Up - September and October 2021

This post was started a few weeks after I had Covid in late August. 


I'm not sure I even like this and I have already cut out the pieces.  
It was late in the evening when I sewed these four blocks.  The good news is that it only takes 10 of each blocks to make a good sized child's quilt and I have 2 of each done.  

It took me awhile to figure out that I needed to use a 30 degree ruler to cut out the the spokes or petals for the "Dresden" block.  The gals who was telling how to make it kept saying Dresden ruler and I had cut out quite a few wrong with what I call a Dresden Ruler before I realized that they wouldn't work.



I finished this top in September.  It is 58 by 70".  I showed it art Bee and it now belongs to a friend who saw it there.  I made another version of this pattern in October.  I saw the pattern on Wisconsin Public Television.  The pattern maker is Lori Dickman.


I'm planning to put a red print border on it before it's quilted.


And I finished the binding on this 2015 project!
Something to Crow About - 42 by 56".
 


Time to put this back in the box and  pass it along to someone else.
  My daughter sent it to me to keep me occupied during my covid quarantine  time!
Actually I had to wait until I was feeling a little better to concentrate on it.
Looking at it now makes me want a frozen Milky Way bar!

A Winter Stay-cation


Sunday they began telling us that we would have some winter  -  during the night we got sleet and some freezing rain.  We were very fortunate in that most of it was sleet.


Tuesday everything was closed. I started a new project.  I have been wanting to make this wall hanging for a long time.  



Wednesday our road hadn't been plowed until late in the afternoon and the driveway is still all ice with just a couple of small bare patches.


Day three at home (driveway still to icy to navigate) and I have finished all but the binding.  It is a pattern called "Something to Crow About" by Out on a Limb pattern company in 2002.  It is 41 x 57".  Now I have a nice size wall hanging to display on Patriotic Holidays!
