An Update

Lots of bad weather and a lot of sewing being done.


I started the Barbara Brackman new BOM "Hospital Sketches".  However since I'm already working on too many projects I opted on doing the smaller version of the blocks called "Sprouts".


Very doable with the time I have available.  Cute too!.



My UFO for February is my "Simple Summer Sampler" by Sentimental Stitches.  I started out needing to make an additional 33 blocks.  I'm happy to say I only have 5 blocks left to make.  Hopefully I will have a quilt top by the end of the month.



I couldn't get all the blocks together at once on my design wall so I had to take 2 photos.  5 blocks to go and I can start assembling the quilt.


I finally got the red border done on my Folk Flowers quilt.


I'm not in a rush to finish this one.  The next border will be the same fabric as the applique blocks and will have vines, flowers and birds appliqued.



Next up is Pat Sloan's "Flower Bouquet" BOW.  A new block pattern is given every Wednesday for 20 weeks.


I didn't realize when I started working on this that I am using the same fabrics in my "Simple Summer Sampler".  However I am using the same background fabric in all of the Flower Bouquet blocks.



And finally the second block in Pat Sloan's "Out of this World" BOM


I'm using batiks and a background fabric with writing on it.



So you can see with the snow, sleet and winds I've had plenty of time to get some sewing done.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed my projects.

Hugs, Cathy

  1. You are one busy lady. it looks like you are going to have a finish in no time on your sampler quilt. the "Out of this World" block has a mysterious look to it, like there's a hidden message there.

  7. Love all of them. Interesting that we can get so much more done depending on the weather - Summer time down here is the best time to stay inside!

  13. Folk Flowers is a good finish. At least one thing off your plate. Your "sprout" is cute in the small size. I haven't done anything toward participating in those blocks but feel I want to.
