These weeks seem to be flying by. I had my hair appointment this week, and that feels much better with it a bit shorter. I am not good at selfies, or I would take a picture.
This week was also pin basting day for our Community Service of our guild.
The rest of the week I had to myself, which I loved. I worked on one of the quilts I am entering in our guild's quilt show. We had room, so I could enter a quilt that was not red and white.
I had my For the Bees quilt, which consists of a bunch of bee embroideries that I stitched from Kathy's Schmitz's embroidery patterns.
This is the back. I found this cute panel for the back.
I've been working on the Civil War Mini quilt by Kathleen Tracy. I have a bit of quilting left to do, and sewing the binding down.
I also embroidered this piece. I am going to make a small tote bag for granddaughter Klara. I thought I would put he Easter Candy in it. It was by Joy @Days Filled with Joy
I also finished 12 more blocks of the Econony blocks for the #scrappymeetsthriftychallenge hosted by Taryn @reproquiltlover. I have 50 blocks done out of 250. They are 2-1/2 inch blocks. I am using up my Civil War reproduction scraps.
I have been working a bit on the yard this week. My wisteria is blooming. I am trying to get it to wind around the trellis gate at the end of the garden.
In my new garden, at one end I planted succulents I had had in pots. This one has gotten huge and is blooming.
What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching is the binding on the Civil War Mini, and sewing label on my bee quilt.
I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching and Frédérique @Quiltingpatch.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, I love your idea to use a panel for the back!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very enjoyable week. The bee quilt is lovely! And what a great idea to use that panel for the back, too. Your yard is looking green and spring-y. Enjoy your stitching today, Karrin!
ReplyDeleteYour Civil War mini is adorable. I was going to do that, but life got into the way. Glad I got to see yours. The blooming succulent!!! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to use a panel on the back of a quilt. Your Civil War mini is pretty. I love that little embroidery. Your garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose little economy blocks are so cute! Only 2.5” square—that’s crazy! You found the perfect backing for your bees quilt. Hope you get everything ready in time for your quilt show. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteI love the bee quilt! So sunny and the panel on the back is so fun. Beautiful wisteria bush you have in the back yard. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteYou had so many lovely things to share today! I love the little Civil War piece, especially the row of churn dash blocks! And what a sweet little embroidery! Happy Sunday and have a blessed week ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have got a lot of stitching gowing on, I particularly like the bee quilt, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your bee quilt (and your blue nails ;) ) lovely embroideries and appliqué. Love the pannel on the back too, it fits perfectly! Pretty Economy and Civil War blocks, and cute embroidery. I love wisteria, and yours is beautiful!
