things to do

 I Wanted to get some different end tables especially ones that have some storage so I ordered these from Wayfair.  They were perfect.  Love the size, color and storage.

I also have been trying to finish the 90 blocks for Smith Mountain Morning quilt do over.


 

They are done.  Now just have to do the units for the second pieced border which is the same as the units which make up the star points. 



This is one of nine blocks we started and before I started to do macine applique I decided to practice.



On these little snack mats.  They were fun to do and the binding did not take 5 days to do.



This is Evie Joy and Lukes dog during the Super bowl game.  Not a fan.




Going to work on that pieced border.

Chilly quilting.

February blues

 I remember when we were growing up having Mid-Winter Youth Rallys for our Episcopal youth groups at a central church.  We would stay with families in those towns, have meetings and meet others our age.

It has only been in the last 15 years that I realized why we all need a Mid-Winter Rally.  At least in North  Carolina the worst weather is in January and February.  Some people choose to leave for more salubrious climates.  I however like the cold we have here.  I does not stay and it gives me time to rest from all the activities I think I need to do.

With Covid all things change and I will be glad to see the warmer temperatures of April and May.  But not July and August!! And with zoom we have more meetings than we would in person.  At least you have the comforts of home.  

This was my Bonnie Hunter quilt from String Fling pattern book.  Now not only did I not put a label on it so I could find the name I cannot find the book.  Time for a clear out.  I think it is Cotton Candy.

This Paige and Karen and Cecil from 2014.
I am working on blocks P and C and I made when we went to Hatteras some years back.  It was a fun time.  The pattern was a red heart with a stem and flower coming out of the center on a black background.  It is appliqued and I am trying to finish them.

 Until more is happening.

Cool sewing.
