DWM - July 16

Ahhhhh, how nice to get some sewing in on Saturday.  Any one doing the Calm Blue Ocean Mystery at Silly Goose Quilts?  I did mine in green, not blue so really needed a new name and mine is called "Tossed Salad". Not sure how it's gonna turn out, but I sure do love how these blocks look right now.

And I finished quilting my Carpenter's square.  I have chicken fabric that I used so I gave those chickens some feathers.  This is going on my kitchen table.  I tried some curly q's in the feathers on the green and black.  And I tried hook feathers for the first time.  I love how other make them look, but I just couldn't quite get the hang of it.  I'll try again on a different project.   I mark the veins of the feathers.  In the corners of the center, I marked two of them wrong. But I"m not taking it out, it's just find for my table.  Now I need to get some pretty flowers for that table.

On my table, just fits

DWM Monday

Well I got a couple more Dear Jane blocks done.  I'm not real happy with A-3, but we'll see if I do it over or not.

I finished my Carpenter's Star for Judy's Feather tutorial.  This is going to be a table cloth for my kitchen table which is a big square.  I love the chicken's in the fabric, I thought that was appropriate for feathers :)

But I can't quilt it because I have this on the frame.  I have 3.5 rows done and 3/4 of the borders. Getting closer :)

At least there are some feathers in there.

Finally Friday!!

For being a short week it really seemed like a long week!!  I feel like I haven't gotten much sewing done in quite a while.  Maybe that can change this weekend :)  I did start on the Carpenter's Star for Judy's feather tutorial.  I'm going to make mine square though and use it as a table cloth in the kitchen.  I love the chicken fabric.  I need to sew the blocks together and then I have 3 borders to add.

I won't be ready to start today on the feather tutorial because I have this on the frame and it's gonna take a little while.  I think it took me one complete day to quilt one full row, there's 5 rows to do :)
