More Scrappy Tops

 Here are the latest tops.  One is sewn into rows.

Stay safe and warm if you are under winters grip.

Orphan Blocks to Medallion Quilt Tops

 In an effort to use up cut off fabric strips from quilted tops, I am using orphan blocks as a start and then adding rounds of stripping.  All very different and beautiful.  I can see children looking for hours at the fabrics and having a blast. Enjoy!

Love Quilts

 I’ve been chipping away at the pile of love quilts to be quilted. I got the tool to unlock my motors and away I went. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  I hope you have a very blessed day!

We will be having a easy day, turkey, Mac and cheese, and green bean casserole. There are two apple pie desserts and a cheese cake in the fridge.

It just us three ladies here, me, DIL and GD.  🐸

Quilting Update

 I have lost some quilting mojo as of late. That may be from not feeling well and/or my long arm being serviced or both. 

Did get my long arm Maxine back from the spa and she proceeded to have a connection issue with the USB ports. After help from A we determined that the circuit board is bad.  She got on the phone with HQ and a new one is on its way.  With shipping the way it is I might get it next Friday or not.  Anyway I can still quilt, using free motion so that is what I’ll be doing. Maybe some ruler work.

This one was done with the motors still engaged so not as smooth.  Some child will absolutely love it!  I finished sewing the binding down this afternoon.

And my latest Sewcialites Blocks:

My Update

 My last three months have not been easy.  Colitis has had me in the bathroom.  I have had a CT scan and a colonoscopy. Preliminary diagnosis is microscopic colitis and so far I have been directed to stop taking my arthritis medication. It has helped tremendously.  This is when you find out that the arthritis medicine really does work.  Ugh but I manage to make it through each day and have my accomplishments.

Yesterday I turned in four children quilts ready for giving.  Here is one.  I used a zig zag digital quilt pattern and so fine thread.

Also working on finishing up tops...

Sewcialites blocks.

I just finished the latest released Sewcialites blocks and will show them on the next blog post.

My HQ Forte 24 is in the shop and I hope to have it back towards the end of next week.

Stay safe and stitch some comfort into your life!  🐸

9 Patch Beauty and Sewcialites

 It’s finished and I thoroughly enjoyed the process.  I am looking forward to the star quilt along that Natalie Bonner will be doing.  Must get that top ready.

And Sewcialites sewing. 

I am doing the nine inch and three inch blocks.

Sew something today and soothe your soul!

Nine patch Along

 With Natalie Bonner is well underway  My lines may not be perfect but this QOV will be full of love and I’m sure that the veteran it is awarded to will love it.

I have 

5 or six more nine patch blocks to decorate and am using the bonus blocks she is providing.   I am pleased overall with the quilting. 

And Sewcialites —- I started doing the nine inch blocks.  Then I thought well to challenge my self I decided to try the 3.5 inch blocks.  So far so good!

Blogger chose the orientation ugh!  They are really cute!  They will all be done with that blue fabric and either if those white fabrics as a neutral. 

Today while I was stitching away in my studio a tree cutting company showed up.  Contracted by Duke Energy they were to take down a tree that was too close to a power line on my property.  So I asked for the  wood and they cut and stacked it so pretty!  I’ll take it!

This is at least a few days of heat at my house after it ages of course. 

New Batch of Love Tops

 That’s right I picked up a box of tops from my guild and have started quilting them.  Enjoy!!!

T Shirt Quilt

 This was a T Shirt Quilt I created for A.  I received it during the beginning of Covid-19.  It was finally delivered last weekend.  Glad to have it almost at its home.

Ebony was checking out my stitching which was approved!
