Mini Christmas Quilt Progress!


I had big plans this weekend and we all know what happens to those, lol. I had not time to work on my projects and when I did, I kept getting interrupted. Today I was able to finish the punching on my newest piece, tomorrow I can finish it off. I also worked on my Christmas stitchery blocks. These are all free designs from Primitive Blessings. I wanted to try some mini blocks with mine and then I added a sashing to each. I just put them on, I didn't pay attention to what colors were going where, so it is hit or miss. Then I sewed them together and as you can see, they are all wonky, just like me;)

I sewed them together so I could measure out the top piece, which is what I am working on now. Once I put that on, I will add a solid border and do primitive quilting on the edges of each block and the borders.


The weather has been beautiful and I finally got out for a walk. My cold is finally letting up so I need to  get my lungs back in shape and walking in the fresh cool air, is perfect.

Today I found this site that has a Free Calendar. Forty artists got together and made designs, so you can go to the blog and pick the art work that you like to make your own calendar. It is free and once you pick your owl art,  you can download the calendar and print it out.

This pond is down the road, so it is the perfect place to walk and it is 3 miles around the pond, so perfect exercise for the fall.

Great job, Debbie. Love the sashing being different fabrics. It's amazing seeing all the different places you go, that I never saw when I live in RI.
