I've accomplished a lot this week, despite having a migraine a whole day due to the smoke. This is last week's block for the Pieces From the Past Sewalong by Melva @ Melva Loves Scraps. This one is called Indiana Star. It was published in the Kansas City Star July 21, 1937.
I also finished two blocks for the QAL by the Sea. This one was designed by Jennifer Fulton @The Inquiring Quilter.
This week's block was designed by April Adams @Janda Bend Quilts.
I also finished last month's block of Cassandra's Circle BOM by Barbara Brackman @ Civil War Quilts.
I took a picture of all the blocks together and realized the block on the far right, with the purple mulberries was out of character with the rest of the blocks, which are mostly blue. Hard to see in this poor light. But I took those purple mulberries off and replaced with some blue ones.
Lastly I finished the quilting on this fall quilt for my daughter's birthday on Monday. It was a Partners in Design QAL from 2 years ago. My daughter loves owls, so I thought this would be perfect for her.
So for Slow Sunday Stitching this week I will be working on a new tea towel. I finished the chocolate one.
I got this new transfer pack from Stitchers Revolution.
I've got this wine one ready to stitch for my sister.
I'll be linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching on Kathy's Quilts. Head on over and check out what everyone has been up to.
Thanks for posting as I began to worry about you and the heart-breaking Calif fires. Understandably they would be headache producing. It’s good that you can continue to stitch.
ReplyDeleteLove your applique blocks, your embroidery is nice too. I've had other friends complain about the poor air quality with all the smoke in the air. Praying that California gets a heavy rain soon that puts out the fires!
ReplyDeleteYou have been sooo busy girl. So sorry the fires are within a 50 mile range of your home... steadfastly in my prayers for sure !!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting and applique is amazing and your embroidery is too.. thanks for sharing so much. I hope your migraines heal !
Kathi
So many beautiful projects. I LOVE the turtle. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the fires are causing migranes.... and hoping they stay far away from you. You sent me on a blog chase with that turtle - he is adorable.. I might have to make one! Love the blue berry change on the block. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you are well...except for the awful smoke!
ReplyDeleteYou are so productive! I am following the Partners in Design quilt along, but not participating this year. I am still working on last year's quilt. It is in the quilting stage, so I will have it finished this year! :)
That will be a beautiful applique quilt! What clever humorous stitcheries.
ReplyDeleteMy sister lives in Northern California-it is heartbreaking to see the fires.
Oh what a difference those blue berries made in making that block fit in better! Lots of great blocks and I hope the fires don't come your way! So scary these days between storms and fires. The hurricanes are heading towards our coast but we are far enough north we probably won't even get any rain, but I pray those closer to the coast will be safe.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at all that you accomplish!
ReplyDeleteI'm still just starting my chocolate embroidery block and you're already done!
Love the new pattern set you found.
And those applique blocks are gorgeous too!
Love your blue BOM...good call to switch out the purple berries for blue ones...look lovely! Those fires are awful...we had one a couple summers ago, that far from us...the smoke and haze was bad.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you in California this week - what a horrible situation - and certainly headache inducing. We're experiencing the same in Colorado with all the fires, too, but sounds like you are closer to them than we are. Hot, dry, windy, and lightning are never a good combination. All of your QAL blocks are so pretty! I really like the latest star for Pieces of the Past!
ReplyDeleteThe wildfires are ravaging once again causing heartache and distress. I am sorry you have had a hard week with your migraines and with the heavy smoke that seems to never go away. You have stitched some lovely blocks though. You always seem to have a week filled with stitching lovely blocks. Your daughter's quilt is sweet. She will love it.
ReplyDeleteYour tea towel is so pretty, as are your BOMs! That quilted project came out lovely! Praying for your safety from these fires!
ReplyDeletePretty blues in your "Cassandra" blocks.
ReplyDeleteI hope the smoke is not causing breathing problems for you or your family. I hope California gets enough rain to put out the fires.
It's so cute that the signal flag block actually spells out QAL By The Sea! So clever :)
