crayon quilt

 It's time to pull out the crayon quilt I have ready for borders. I worked on it until december 2019 and I had everything ready to do for borders. I needed to add the white inner borders first. Before I could add the outer borders.



I made the crayons as part of the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy in 2019 from 2 1/2 inch strips and scraps.
Once the inner borders were done, I could start adding the outer borders. I have just the top border sewn. Since I don't have a pattern for the borders, I have to try what I want with trial and error. But, I am excited to see this move forward. Now I am thinking I will need another white border above the words.

retreat top

We had a sleep in your own bed retreat yesterday and will have one today. My main project to work on was my ode to Joey quilt. I worked on piecing the rows and joining the rows. I plan on using it as a visual aid for Church class on Sunday. I made the words according to the color of the month for rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. It is a rectangle the wrong way, so, I need to figure out what I want to do for the top and bottom.

someone was taking pictures 



I have 3 quilts left to work on today while I play at quilting. The food was great as a pitch in. The company was fun and there was a free table. what's not to love.

to do: set goals

September goals are much like August goals. I wanted to accomplish more than I could last month, so this month I will play a little catch up with my projects.

1. quilt pumpkin patch 

I brought this old ufo out of the closet, during purple month, for the rainbow scrap challenge. It was all in blocks. I want to finish this quilt this month, and, have it gone. I will need rows, and borders, and quilting.



2. quilt melba' s applique

I put this quilt together in January from 1920s blocks, and added a hexie from me for the center bottom block. I need to attach that and quilt it. 



3. make ode to joey top

I keep showing the letters, and, then the words, but, now, it is time to make the top.


4, start circa 1880

I participated in a swap last year of these uneven 9 patch blocks, and, I need to sew setting triangles to it and join it in vertical rows. One of the swappers has hers finished. the other swapper is making vertical rows. Obviously, I will be last on this one.


I can't believe it is September already. August was a pleasant month outdoors, and, it seamed that we made progress on a few outdoor projects.  And, most importanly, we had garden fresh tomatoes. I finished 3 ufos last month , and stayed current with my rainbow scrap challenge projects. My hubby and I visited Prophet's rock, 7 pillars, Adam's Mill, and Indiana Dunes State park. Yesterday, we celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary.

friday sew

Last week, our Friday group met together. Everyone was busy with their projects. I really enjoy this time together, but only recently started taking my sewing machine again, after the restrictions for my back surgery were lifted. I have a rainbow crayon quilt I wanted to put together.


I had made the letters, along with the crayon, according to the color of the month for the rainbow scrap challenge. So, if you wondered what the letters were meant to be, this is part of them. I was really interested in letters for 2019. It seems I made letters for everything. I decided on this layout.


Maris was working on a red, white, and blue soul searching.


And Linda was working on a complicated block of the month.


I am so inspired by the quilts my friends are making.
