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.

one monthly goal

Purple stars

Last week, I stopped getting comments in my email...again. It took me three days to figure it out and change my settings again. I was using the new blogger. Was anyone else having that problem?

I have collected little bits of triangles, mostly, for the shoofly leader/ ender from last year. The size I am making uses 1 1/2 inch hsts. I am getting very close to finishing all the blocks I have kitted for that quilt, so, I can, with great abandon, use these little bits in a few of my rainbow projects.... or get rid of them.

One of my rainbow projects this year, is my wonky stars. The little bits are perfect for them. I won't have enough blocks by the end of the year for a very big quilt, but, I don't think I want to do them again next year.

They are very cute ...

I searched through my ufo projects for a quick finish that might have purple in them. I found two, that I hope to sneak in and finish. This is an older ufo, pumpkin patch, that I have all the blocks made. I spread it out on the design bed. I can get the top finished in August, but, I have a longer list of customer quilts, so, that, I might not get it quilted. I'll see.

I hope you are up to some purple scrappiness and are well. I am so glad I have scraps to play with in these interesting times.

pumpkin patch

I thought this might be a timely quilt to work on for a bit. I have had it ready to go together for a few years. It might be fun just to re acquaint myself with it and have some fall fun. I love Halloween with all it's colors. But I especially wanted to make the letters.

I found it in an old magazine.

I made the 4 patches.

 While it is for fun, my main project, cheddar sampler, has at least been started. It may take a while to get these made since everything is so small.

 These are pinwheels that are 2 1/2 inches. very tiny pieces. I ended up making them a little bigger and trimming them  to the right size. It is called flutter wheel.

and shoofly
