Autumn Moons

I got some quilt tops done over the weekend  so I  chose a couple of other PHD and started working on them. I decided to work on sewing a couple of projects at the same time to see how it goes.

One of them I am working on is my Autumn Moons quilt by Canuck  Quilter Designs. For the moment to me  it looks like crop circles. I have been wanting to make a quilt with leaves, and have been wanting to make a quilt with circles, so this pattern seemed like a great combination. I also liked the fact that it was created by a Canadian quilter. I have quite a bit more fall fabrics then I realized. It has taken me a bit of time to figure out which ones go together best.

Time for a Picnic Again

I have been working away at my Picnic quilt over the past week. I stopped for a while because things were not going to get together perfectly. I am still trying to learn that perfection should not be the optimum goal. I took it out again, fixed a couple of things and started sewing. A couple of spots to fill in, put the rows together and with some fabulous quilting it will look great.

I was at my LQS and found some great fabric for the back. It was on clearance, which made it even better. I have to say I have found some amazing backings in the clearance section. I would like to have it done for June so I hope to spend some time over the Easter weekend to work on it.

Design Wall Monday - Snowbound.

Just as I am getting a handle on my Snowbound quilt it feels as though Spring as come. I have been playing around with the blocks to fit in my Snowmen embroidery and I think I have figured out what will fit.  I am going to put some extra flying geese between them. I have enjoyed working out the math to make what will hopefully be a fabulous quilt.

Slow Stitching Sunday

Today is a day for me to relax and to be grateful for my family. I so love being with my husband and children. We have had a week off together and I will miss being away from them tomorrow. My Slow Stitching Sunday is working on my binding for my Zigzag quilt which will become my son's. It is something I started years ago and I will be thrilled to have it finished. I have just signed up for Netflix and have started to watch Prison Break while doing the binding. My sister recommended it to me years ago and I am enjoying watching it.

Calendar Update

I have been working on a few projects lately when I realized on the weekend that I had not gotten any further on my calendar quilt other than the blocks. I started auditioning fabrics to be the borders for each of the tiny squares. It has been fun to see them come to life. I will be having some time off soon, so hopefully I can get this little quilt done. It will be the smallest I have made.
