Sorry about the awful pictures and the lateness of the post, but I haven't been feeling well lately. Anyway, here's what I had done on Wednesday.

Quilting:

I did another row on on Batik Cascade (Batik Go-Round) by Karen Combs and almost finished sewing it to the rest of the quilt. That makes 8 rows now.

BOTM Broken Dishes - Finished

I've finished the Broken Dishes block from the BOTM series by Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts. As always, I've hand pieced it.

Weekly Update

It's been a hectic week, so this post is a bit late, but here's what I had done on Wednesday.

Quilting:

Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts posted the July installment of her Block of the Month (BOTM) series, so I've been working on that. It's a Broken Dishes block, a Kansas City Star block originally published in the newspaper in the 1930s.


I'm surprised at how fast it went. I'd figured that with all those pieces it would take me much longer than it did. I'll post the finished block today or tomorrow.

Weekly Update

Quilting:

I did 2 more rows on Batik Cascade (Batik Go-Round) by Karen Combs. I now have 7 rows completed: a little over halfway done.


Swedish Weaving:

I did a little more on the Feathers To and Fro afghan from Learn to Make Monk’s Cloth Afghans by Marilyn T. Magly. I'm finding that it's a good project to work on while watching videos.
