On my sewing table

And what a messy table it is!  Hello Everyone,

As you can see, I have a few projects on going here. Having lots of fun with them all.


This one is the scrappy mystery project from Charlotte Hawks Quilts. This is only one of the blocks we have done so far.


I'm working on clue #3 right now. It's fun playing with all these scraps!

This lovely pile of fabrics is Buttercup and Slate, by Corey Yoder. And the bottom blue is from Corey also, it's from her Peachy Keen line. My best online quilting buddy, Pat from the scrapatch, gifted it to me :) It's the perfect background for those lovey grays, yellows and greens.


I'm using the above stack in Edyta Sitars birthday mystery quilt. Here is my stack of the first 10 blocks.


Edyta is doing one block a week, for most the year. So my first sample type quilt. There is some embroidery blocks thrown in as bonus blocks too.

This sweet pile is for a project bag swap we are doing on the QATW forum. I am loving how this is turning out!



I am not so happy with this next project. I started doing it EPP fashion, but was unhappy with my whip stitching, so took it out and sewed it together with my machine. As you can see, the outer ring is a bit bigger than it should be, it's just basted on, so it will be easy to take off and see if I can fix it. Not sure how though...


This is called Sugar plum by Judy Newman. The rose is going to be the middle and then there will be some outer pieces to make the block square. I can see I need to be better at my 1/4 inch seams...I'm guessing that's why my outer block came out larger than it should be. Pat had some template material and she generously traced the shapes out for me and sent the templates along. She rightly thought that this would be an intriqueing block for me :)

I'm enjoying some lovely sunny days. I get afternoon sun in my sewing room and I love sitting in there with the radio softly playing, while I play with my fabric.

Have a lovely weekend! And thanks for stopping by.
