Weekly Update

Quilting:

I cut out the sashing for Nabby's Dowry, a sew-along by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts.  I really love Pam's setting, so I've laid the blocks out exactly like hers.

It looks like the strips aren't long enough in places, but that's just due to the seam allowances. All the pieces will fit once they've been sewn together.

Crochet:

I finished the 4th and penultimate row of the Purple Passion Throw designed by Vicki Marshall.

Cross Stitch:

Finally, I did some more work on the Rose Cross by Irene O. Thomas.

Nabby's Dowry Part 11 - Finished

Yesterday I finally finished Part 11 of Nabby's Dowry, a sew-along by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts.

Weekly Update

Household:

I attached the 3rd binding strip to the first coaster.

Quilting:

Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts threw us a curve this week on her Nabby's Dowry sew-along. Instead of one block, she's given us four. And, of course, I came down with a cold this week so I've been spending a lot of time in bed. It looks like I'm going to be late finishing this one.

Here's what I've got done so far on Part 11.

Crochet:

I finished 2 more tulips for the Purple Passion Throw designed by Vicki Marshall.

Cross Stitch:

Finally, I did some more work on the Rose Cross by Irene O. Thomas.

Quilting:

I finished Part 10 of Nabby's Dowry, a sew-along by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts.

Crochet:

Finally, I got quite a bit done on the Purple Passion Throw designed by Vicki Marshall. I finished 2 more tulips and started a third, finished a star, wove in a bunch of ends, and sewed the pieces together.

Weekly Update

Household:

I finished the quilting on the first coaster, completely finished the 1st binding strip, and attached the 2nd binding strip.

It's poufier in the center than I was expecting, so on the next one I'll try quilting the center circle too. Also, I thought I could get away with not basting these since the pieces are so small, but the layers shifted when I quilted them. Fortunately, the backing isn't directional so this one will be okay. I'll definitely baste the others, however.

Quilting:

I finished Part 9 of Nabby's Dowry, a sew-along by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts.

I finished the star for the Purple Passion Throw designed by Vicki Marshall, crocheted 3 tulips, started a 4th, wove in a bunch of ends, and sewed a couple of pieces together.
