  I am very slowly unpacking the bag of fabric that I bought at a quilt show rummage sale. Everything was measured by the pound. I am measuring and marking the larger pieces. 

I was excited to find a few reproduction fabrics for my stash.

week 3 -rainbow scrap challenge November

After ironing the red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt. for the rainbow scrap challenge this month. I searched for the inner border and attached the final choice for the quilt. I have also been searching for the outer border. I planned for brown. My selection of browns were lackluster. But, buried amid the browns, was a lovely burgundy red that I think is "the one". on the right

it is deeper than the picture

I have actually pressed the zig zag quilt blocks every day this past week. I have less to go than I have done.

it doesn't look like a whole quilt

I am still sewing the sugar grove blocks. I have all the  premade kits I have made over the year done, but I still have partial kits and more hsts that were made but not in kits, yet.

week 2 - rainbow scrap challenge November

 I have the top ready for borders for my red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt. I am excited to finish this older bonnie hunter ufo. I worked on it, in the red and the brown months, for the rainbow scrap challenge. I am pleased with my progress this week.

I took single pictures this week, not sure if I would get more done than just one. I fell behind on  sugar grove blocks. I really want to catch up by the end of the year.

I have all the blocks made for  a zig zag quilt I want to make using 1 1/2 inch scrap strips. I made them, but, did not iron them and the drawer looked intimidating. I decided I would iron as many as I could until the end of the year. Maybe, I can sew them together next year for each color of the month.

My fingers are not as nimble anymore, so I pulled out my finger cots to open them as I was ironing. They worked great.

 I am very slowly unpacking the bag of fabric that I bought at a quilt show rummage show. Everything was measured by the pound. 

I was excited to find this pack of 30s fabrics. There were 6-10 inch squares. I have a fondness for fabric from the 30s( reproductions) I think it brightens anyone's mood, even now,  just like during the depression. And I respect are ancestor quilters for being concerned for their message during such a difficult time- look forward with hope.

Not much hooking, but some planning, cutting more strips, and setting goals again.

week 1 - rainbow scrap challenge November

 I have been working on finishing up my  red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt  as part of my rainbow scrap challenge projects. I am so close to finishing, I didn't want to put it away again. I have no idea when it would reemerge. I have started making rows. I already like the secondary pattern. At my sewing group, another quilter mentioned it was very busy. hmm.. I like it anyway. I want to have the top finished for my one monthly goal in November.

I have one lonely sugar grove block done this week. I am planning on concentrating, on these blocks, to catch up. as best as I can, before the end of the year.

one monthly  goal

toledo top finish

It has taken a bit of time to make the borders. I needed pinwheels for the corners. And, there were the 328 hsts. Not to mention the gazillion hsts in the blocks.

It was so good to see Holy Toledo, as a top. I chose this as my one monthly goal for October. And, I really like it. I usually do, when I make a Bonnie Hunter quilt. It can be found in scraps and shirttails 2 book. I started it in 2016. Making the borders was my one monthly goal for October, but now, I have a top.

Oh and this was on the road with us this week. Boo

quilt progress

I couldn't resist laying out my red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt.  But, it isn't what I remembered.  I can't find my book string fling to see how to set the blocks, yet. I'm sure I will, soon. Patience is needed.

I have all the border blocks ready for adding the border to Holy Toledo, an older ufo in my 5 quilt projects. These are the last 6 blocks. I can feel the finish on both these quilts coming very soon. I have been dragging my feet this year, and, a finish will re-motivate me. I can't believe it is the end of October already.

I sewed 4 days last week - I am really trying to finish Holy Toledo

I have created a new friendship swap for my rug hooking group. It is a swap rug. Everyone wanted houses this time. It has two rows of houses, and trees, too. We each do a house on our own rug, and then, we pass it around for everyone to hook a house on our rug, When we are done, we will have a rug with our friends hooking on it. I have made 2 or 3 others and they are such a treasure. We have a goal to trade every two weeks.  

now that I am finished with my swapping on the friendship rug, I am taking a little break to work on my Christmas rug forever project.

It took a while to find the last picture I posted of the rug. 

last time almost a year ago I think

this time

btw I really dislike hooking fences, they are so messy.

I found over 100 odd colors of 2 inch hsts for my bonnie Hunter basket quilt. This should finish up the year with more than the 700 I need for the quilt. I need to cut and make the bigger hsts for the basket in November.

I am unpacking from a quilt show garage sale. The fabric was 6.oo a yard, a bit expensive for older fabrics, but, I found a few things. I know browns are not popular right now, but I still like them.

I think is the last house I need to make for someone else, and my rug has come back to me to finish. Pretty exciting. But, the real work on the rug begins. I have been playing with greens for dying wool for the trees, bushes, and grass. This house was for Jan.

progress on rainbow scrap challenge

 It is time to start making big blocks for the red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt. All the blocks are either done or redone. I began by sewing twosies and webbing them together with their mates. I am excited to get this ufo this far. I did the red parts during red month for the rainbow scrap challenge. This month is brown, so, I pulled the project out again, since, the string blocks are brown.

I cut my windmill blocks in gray. I haven't counted to see if I have a enough for a good size donation quilt, yet.  

I am scraping the bottom of the barrel for monkey wrench pieces that match. I either need to cut and do more next year, or say enough is enough.

I set up 4 more sugar grove blocks on flannel boards for easy grab and go sewing. I haven't done as many as I had planned this year. I think I am over half way. I am expecting to carry this on to next year's projects.

holloween kit

 I was feeling halloweenish, and remembered a halloween kit, that I found at a garage sale. I had added it to my 5 quilt projects for 2025. I am not near it on the list, but, I thought it might be fun, at this time of the year, to at least look at it. It was a complete kit with a panel, fabric, and a pattern. I did not like the pattern. I started looking at ideas online. I found a couple I liked much better. For now, I am tabling the idea. I have made notes, and pictures, so that I can start again with a better idea for how to proceed. I do like the panel, and it offered me smile. It would be wise to start a bit earlier than October another year.
