I got 8 of these Buhl-Bushong blocks done. I have about 56 more to go though. I did paper piece the crowns, but hand-pieced/appliqued everything else.
I finished this Father Christmas guy. I am trying to finish 2 more before the end of the month. The other 2 are relatively simple, don't have the star borders.
I finished the last block of the Hospital Sketches BOM by Barbara Brackman
These are all nine blocks. I'm going to redo the bottom middle block. The brown/yellow just doesn't work for me. The navy blue is fine, it is everything else.
I finished this penny rug project called All My Stars by Blackbird Designs in a book called Higdon Camp-1928. This has been a UFO for years, and I put it on my 2019 Finish-A-Long list for quarter 4. So I can cross that off my list.
Right now I'm working on this crazy quilt piece for a friend. I have some more stitching in the two blue patches to do. I think I will be able to finish this by the end of the month for my One Monthly Goal.

Hi Karrin ~ All of your projects are fabulous! Your appliqué work is beautiful! I always love seeing what you're working on. See you in three weeks :) Sharon
ReplyDeleteYour projects are beautiful. It's interesting you don't like the bottom middle block. I thought they all sat really well together, could it be the placement of the other blocks? It's going to be stunning though!
ReplyDeleteSo much beautiful hand work, Karrin. Nice to have a look at All My Stars all done and dusted. I had never seen that design before till you showed it in a past post. Your crazy quilting piece is beautiful. I've had to follow you so I won't miss out! Anyway, Happy Sunday Stitching from me!
ReplyDeleteSo many different hand work projects but all so lovely! I like to have different hand work projects going on too, if I get tired of one, onto another! Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty projects.
ReplyDeleteKarrin, these are all so pretty, but I think today my favorite is the Bushong blocks. I do love the colors you have chosen!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching here! I can see where the brown /yellow if it’s not your color needs changing , I don’t think it’s terrible though..at least not enough to redo.. but then I don’t do appliqué.😁
ReplyDeleteYour Hospital Sketches blocks are lovely. If you are going to redo the cockscomb block try just taking out the brown and then using some of that great orange/cheddar that is in the upper right block. Or it wouldn't hurt to repeat the blue fabric. I don't know if it would work but it might save some unpicking. I hope that helps. You are certainly a busy quilter and you have some great projects shown here.
ReplyDeleteAll your hand work is excellent! Nicely detailed. Hard to pick a favorite. It's all lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of work for this week, all of it beautifully done. One more day for Father Christmas! Seeing all 9 blocks together, the bottom block looks better, but I agree with your choice.
ReplyDeleteWow! So much applique to drool over. Your quilt in the header is a beauty too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, there is a plethora of gorgeous applique to be seen here. You have indeed been busy! I love every little thing, but I must say the crazy patchwork is amazing and has inched ever so slightly ahead as my favourite pretty this week. Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteSomeone that has more projects than me :-) I love your Father Christmas!
