Orange Selvage Strings

I assembled these groups blocks this evening, and added the borders.  I think its cheerful!

Easy Pinwheels

Since I make a lot of charity quilts, and tend to use fabric that has been donated.  I really like this method of making pinwheels, especially when you have a single square of fabric.

Not to much has happened this week.  Just wild weather here in the plains, lots of rain, tornadoes around us.  Been slowly working on cutting out quilts, knitting socks, and trying to keep laundry caught up.

I am not much of a applique quilt maker, but I have been getting a itch to make a simple applique quilt.  I will see if I still feel like it once I get fabric picked out for it.

Its from the book Scrap Quilts from the Depression.  And I think Lori is working on the cover quilt.

Design Wall Monday

I am working on making four patches from shirting prints.  Just fun mindless sewing, I can just push it through the needle and think about other things, but still being productive.

A Break from Yarn

I got a little bored with all the afghans I had crocheted this past month.  So I decided to make a couple smaller things.  I made this Lily of the Valley Doily from one of my vintage pattern books.  Both of the ones shown below have a date of 1938.

Cutting and more cutting

I tend to like to have quilt tops ready to sew when I feel like working on them.  However, I dislike cutting the least of all aspects of making a quilt.  So I have been busy cutting on pieces for quilts.  Multiple quilts.  I cut all the pieces and make a sample block, and then store them.  These are the two that I cut out this morning.
