Week's accomplishments

Working on several quilt projects this week.
Gypsy Queen has posting so will begin this soon.

I also started Humble Quilts QAL- Country Roads. This is week one. Minature quilt. I am sure this will also be cute.

I finished the McQuilts sampler. Someone had pointed out that I had turned two blocks around in block 12. Luckily I had not seen the lateral strip and was able to correct it with doing to much reverse sewing. Lovely quilt and love the off setting of the blocks. Now I am taking some of the scraps for a scrap vortex theme on the back.

Finished the Third Commandment on the Ten Commandment Quilt along. Doing two color theme.

In evenings. Continue the hand quilting of the miniature Downton Abbey quilt.

Tonight...some hand quilting.

Tumblers ...X&O blocks

Worked on the McQuilt sampler quilt. These blocks are so fun to do. I really like how they are turning out. Had to do some fabric subsitution but that was ok. This will be fun to quilt.

Blocks completed.

Next up the Tumbler challenge by Bonnie Hunter. I had gone thru all my fabric and those small pieces I cut into tumbler blocks. I tried yesterday to get the pattern right, just something mentally I could not do consistently with pairs. Returned to her site and now laying out the rows. Sewed one row, then put opposite for the next row. I did four rows this afternoon. This is something that you have to do little by little. It is fun,but would not want to do hours of seeing them.

Monday doings

Sure feels like fall with the wind and cooler temperatures, just fine by me. Exhibition football this weekend had the Packers loosing. But they lost so much more. Jordy Nelson may have torn up his knee. MRI today. Then the stock market taking such a dive over a thousand points this morning, but some recovery. Then there are the girls. Abigail and Cherith have transformed our living room into a staging room in preparation for returning to college on Saturday. Then we are officially empty nesters again.
Worked on many quilting projects today. Here is some of the pictures.

Finally got this together and have decided to hand quilt this one. This is half size version of English Manor QAL by Ebony. It may get into her book. I signed a release last week. This is fabric that Dan picked out for my retirement. Will go in bedroom in Marana. Plan to do some basic quilting. 

I have neglected the Carson theme quilt, now that it is cooler will begin working on it. It is about half way done. Would like to finish before heading to AZ in January.
