I sewed 7 days last week.

I have packed up my rug and my hexie quilt, and, put them into storage until after my daughter's visit for Thanks giving. I am trying to do a big clean up of the living room. I am not sure what stitching I can do in the meantime. I did hook the moon in the center of the rug, before I put it away.

I bought a template that I might try hand piecing the old block block. I can't think of the name. I can use it on 2 1/2 inch strips.

These 2 pieces of fabric were on the free table as part of someone's Christmas fabric destash. I just saw them as neutrals that could be in any scrappy quilt, and added them to my stash.

A friend gifted me some 1 1/2 inch squares, after I saw quilting buddy Lucy was making a postage stamp block. This jar was jam packed and nearly spilled over when I opened it. But, I just had to try Lucy's block. I was inspired.

I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another.

I have finishes that are exciting, and, I have a few more getting ready. Working on 5 quilts at a time, isn't fast, but, overtime, I chip away at these worthy projects.

1. wensleydale a jen kingwell pattern - I am working on assembly and piecing the top. Finishing it is my one monthly goal for September at elm street quilts.

2. plaid kaliedescope - I have all the pieces cut for the blocks, I think I will return it to the UFO closet

3. uneven 9 patch - The center is finished and I am adding borders

I will add an inner border and an outer border

4. rectangle wrangle quilt.- finished

5. spoolin around leader ender challenge 2013 - I practically restitched all the blocks and have started assembly with setting triangles.

new # 2. strip tease is a scrappy quilt with flying geese and 4 patches. I have a drawer full of 4 patches

from the internet

new # 4 is an older ufo ( aren't they all older) from 2015

equal rights -I have the pattern and a fabric pull in the box. I looked at it for a week, and decided I wasn't going to finish it. all done.

MY next on the longarm of my own quilts in the 'to be quilted' closet. I have been interrupting this list when I complete a ufo and slide it onto the longarm for a complete finish.

1. hand me down - back made, on the frame, quilted, finished

2. triple irish chain - found, back, on the frame, quilted, finished

Lucille star flimsy -find, can't find -what did I do with it? some place safe I am sure

5 - frolic mystery - back and binding - re-ironed - frame finished 11/22

Making a 5 quilts report has been good for staying on track and finishing, but, I am bored with how long it takes to finish, and, I can't find stuff and keep it straight anymore. I have a few concerns.

maybe one at a time would be better? but would I get any others done?

I decided to keep the list, but, work on one at a time.

Rhododendron was my first experiment. I finished it in 8 days including quilting. That was great and helped with motivation. And as long as I had a list item per day. I wasn't bored.

5 quilts October 31, 2022

And just like that- October is over. My goodness, it was fast. I have had a swollen sore thumb and have not felt like sewing for a week. It will be 3 weeks before the hand doctor can see me. That gives me a time line. One or two days before the appointment, it will be miraculously cured. haha

5 quilts last report August 22, 2022

1. Rainbow scrap challenge- light blue - I have been adding a few zipper blocks as I go along with the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.

2. rhododendren mystery - hunter - I finished a row with a set of 4 - 3 rows to go

3. Boho heart -Two more blocks made for section 2

4. I started dotty bow ties. The blocks are all ready. I cut what I need for the idea of sashing I am planning. I may need to cut more if my math is wrong.

5. circa 1880- I needed more triangles for the blocks and decided to add kona snow for the alternate color. I had a 6 yard piece and surely that will be enough to finish this top. The last time I worked on this was in 2020.

5 quilts: September 4, 2022

5 quilts last report August 22, 2022

1. Rainbow scrap challenge- light blue

I needed one more candy block to have all the blocks done for this years project. All the colors are done. I decided on a chocolate candy. I am just going to sew them in rows for a fun charity quilt.

2. rhododendren mystery - hunter - I am working on a row with a set of 4

3. Boho heart -I have the next line of 3 blocks made for section 2

4. maple leaves - this one is ready for the "to be quilted" closet.

It is time for a new project to take it's place. When the new quiltville leader/ ender challenge was announced, I decided to work on my previous starts of leader/ender challenges instead ( so far). I could go back to the very first one and find it as an UFO. Bonnie did cheddar bow ties, I started dotty bow ties. I didn't need many to make my goal, so, the blocks are all ready. I just need to decide on a layout and start assembly.

5. fair and square - the top is finished. I just need a back and binding before sending it to the pile of unquilted tops.

New 5. I have decided on a UFO that was part of a swap with quilty friends. circa 1880 I have a few rows already done and I realize that I don't have enough of the original backing that I bought for the quilt, so, I had to work that out in my head. I think I can begin again. The last time I worked on this was in 2020.
