It has been a busy couple of weeks. I didn't have time last week to post, my oldest daughter and her family went back to South Dakota to a friend's daughter's wedding, and I had the pleasure of taking care of 4 of my grand dogs. Apparently I overfed them treats when getting them back in their kennels, they were looking at me with such sad eyes though. My daughter said I was a sucker!
Last week I received a great package. I won an Island Batik FQ pack for participating in the Stay at Home Round Robin this year.
Last week I was able to finish the Civil War Mini Sew Along by Kathleen Tracy on Facebook.
I also got caught up on the Scrap Meets Thrift Challenge by Reproquiltlover on Instagram. These are 2 inch blocks and I now have 70 made out of 250.
Check out the Hand Quilt Along Links below.
This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another. If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.
Kathy, Margaret, Deb, Sharon,
I will be working on my binding for Slow Sunday Stitching.
I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching, and Frédérique @Quiltingpatch.
The little applique quilt for the quilt show is beautiful! Do you have a project in mind for the fat quarter bundle, they are very pretty colors. And remember, grandmothers are supposed to spoil the grandchildren (dogs), I give mine treats they don't get at home. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteOh those batiks! Nice prize! Enjoy using them!
ReplyDeletethat was a great fabric win!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Karen! That fabric bundle looks like fun to play with! Oh yes, spoil the grandkids...even the four footed ones! I really like your square in a square challenge! I don't have any repro fabrics, but I sure do love the look! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are working on or have finished quite a few projects that I have been considering diving into. I've long wanted to make some Kathy Tracy quilts, and that sew along by Taryn has been very tempting. I did her scrappy 9-patch last year, so I've sewn with her before. Happy Quilting!
ReplyDeleteYay on the win :) That red work entry quilt gets a blue ribbon in my book. I love the Civil War mini ~ so precious! So easy to fall for those puppy dog eyes :)
ReplyDeleteI bet four dogs to babysit is a lot of work! Congratulations on your win from the SAHRR QAL, too - that's a pretty bundle. Enjoy your stitching today, Karrin!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colours in your prize bundle! You’ve been busy ! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteFour grand dogs! How fun! You will certainly make good use of the Batik FQ pack! Congratulations! Your tiny blocks are amazingly beautiful! Such talent! Your last entry for the quilt show is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOf course you gave your grand dogs treats, how could you say no to pleading puppy dog eyes? What an exciting package you won.
ReplyDeleteCongrats for the fabric win, Karrin! I do love that read and white quilt, it is so pretty. Your scrap minis are fun little projects, I need to do something like that this summer!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt entry project is very beautiful, Karin. Also love seeing your blocks. Great fabric win too!
