Three weeks have passed since the last Hand Quilt Along update. Welcome to Theresa for joining our group! I am not even working on the same things I was working on back three weeks ago. I have another block for my mini quilt guild group to make this week. They needed another block done, and I volunteered to do one more block. I need to get it done before the mini quilt group comes to my house next Friday. The theme is different houses. I did a Victorian house and Lighthouse last time. This will be for a community quilt for the guild or to auction off. They gave me the choice of igloo or teepee, and I didn't like those choices. I suggested a hen house or chicken coop. I found one in a coloring page, and decided to do this one.
What I have also worked on this week is my Stay At Home Round Robin project. I put the wonky stars my project. You can read about the SAHRR here on Quilting Gail.
My grandson Keaton got his letterman jacket this week, so they brought the patches over for me to attach. Look at all that curly hair. Half the time it is not even combed!
My slow stitching project this week is this Valentine project. I don't have that much more to stitch and should be able to finish it within the next day or two.
