I finished a flimsy....
This is "Forget Me Knot" by Cheri Payne. You can find the pattern at Quilts By Cheri This link will take you to her patterns.

It's a balmy 9 degrees out. Snowing off and on and I'm trying to keep warm and get rid of a head cold.
I have another flimsy finish but I can't show it yet. Ella's quilt top is finished I need to get it ready to quilt. I can't wait to share a photo with it...it's so darn cute.
Take care, keep warm and keep busy.
Hugs, Cathy
Baby it is cold outside. A little warmer today than it was yesterday. It was in the -10's yesterday and today it is 20. Strange weather. Snow is in our future..near future. So again, it is a good day for sewing.
I finished my little bird quilt.
It looks a little wonky here...blame it on my head cold. I used the same fabric as the inner border for the binding. I had to buy some buttons for the berries on the branch. It now looks finished and I love it.
The Buttermilk Basin BOM for February came out on the 15th. Again mine is made using cotton fabrics.
This is going to be a sweet quilt when finished. I can't wait to see what Stacy has planned for us next month.
I finished the applique on the bottom of Cheri Payne's "Forget Me Not" quilt.
I took a closeup of the bottom applique. I still need to sew lines down the center of the windows. The top border is going to have 3 blackbirds. I'm putting that off till I finish a new project.
The New Project is for our new Granddaughter Ella that is due in May. I finished the pieced blocks and am now working on the appliqued center block. I can't show you any pictures yet. But I will show them after they receive the quilt.
Keep warm and keep busy. I know I will.
Hugs, Cathy
Should I accept.... Finish up some projects before I start another.
Hard as I try I don't always do this. Today as I write the temperature is -9 outside. Cool inside too. So another good day to do some sewing.
I finished...
My Autumn Monday Mystery. This is it on my design wall. That's why it looks so wonky. It will hang in my living room next October. This dates back to 2013.
I finished the border on the bird quilt. I wasn't sure what fabric to use so I chose 4 different fabrics, took a photo of each with the appliqued piece on top, made up a composite of all 4 and my husband chose the winner.
I was partial to the lower left picture...hubby chose the upper right.
I finished hand quilting it last night. The binding is going to be the same as the inner border, It is all made and ready to go. So it should be finished tonight.
I started a new project...I know. However I used 9 patch blocks from the swap that Barb (Fun with Barb) hosted last year. I fell in love with Cheri Payne's pattern "Forget Me Not". Perfect to use up some of my 9 patch blocks. All blocks used in my version are 1" bigger.
I have all the templates for the applique traced on freezer paper. I need to cut the top border and will do the applique for it before I sew it to the quilt. I'm so excited to get this finished.
Did you see? Stacy from Buttermilk Basin posted this months block. Again I will do mine using cotton instead of wool.
That's it for now. I'm snuggling down in my sewing room and will be prepping applique, sewing bindings, making a couple of Bitty Baskets and starting on the Buttermilk Basin.
Stay warm and keep busy. Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy
