Fall Wall Hanging

Finished this cute wall hanging I bought at PIQF this year at the ezstitching.com booth. 

Alaska Table Runner

Finished this finally, once I got past how I would quilt it. Purchased in Alaska in 2018. The kit makes two.

Come on over and see what I've been up to!

Come visit me on my new blog

I know you haven't seen me post in awhile. Almost a whole month. That's because I'm working very hard on my new blog/web site. www.stichingcircle.com My son is now hosting my blog on his server so I can have my own web playground. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. But at the very least, I will be blogging over there from now on. I've already imported all my blog posts from here so I won't lose anything. And, I'm starting a separate page to display my finished quilts.

The new site is definitely under construction while I try to get all my links, blogroll, favorite sites, etc. moved over. I'm learning WordPress as I go so this is definitely a challenge. And, work is really busy for me right now, so I have little time to work on it.

So if you are looking for me in blogland, visit my new site and leave me a comment on how you like it so far.

Weekend update

Just a quick update. I finished piecing OTR. Yay. I actually had to make 10 more pinwheels, but I had plenty of four-patches. I realized when looking at the pattern today, I made all my pinwheels backwards from the way Bonnie did them. Oh, well, I'm certainly not doing them over. It is what it is. No one will ever notice but me. Oops, now I've told the world...

I've got about six long seams to connect the final few rows and the top middle will be finished. It won't all fit on my wall, so I'll have to take a pic when I can get it laid out on the floor.

OTR is all I worked on today, so nothing else to report on. Back to work tomorrow. Dont' know how much time I'll have to work on this during this week. I'll be out 3 nights and off to see my grandkids for part of next weekend.

Have a great week everyone.

Super Bowl Weekend Progress

Well it's the end of the day on Saturday and here's my progress. I've finished piecing and assembling my Double Delight. I'm really happy with it. But I'm going to take a break before I choose and attach the borders. I know I said in a previous post I wasn't going to use the on-point setting, but I changed my mind. The setting triangles are all the same pink. I really like the way it turned out.

So now I'm working on Old Tobacco Road. I've had a lot of the pinwheels and four patches done for several months now, so I started cutting the bricks and assembling the top from the upper left corner. Here's how far I got this evening.It's pretty scrap color controlled. I'm keeping it to the golds, browns, blacks, very dark reds, with a few dark blues and greens thrown in. It took me a long time to decide if I even wanted to make this quilt. Now, I'm glad I am; as usual with Bonnie's patterns.

I really want to join everyone tomorrow with a Strip Twist. But I can't decide if I want it scrappy or controlled colors. I pulled these batiks thinking they might work nicely in the Strip Twist pattern. I'd love to hear opinions from all of you before I actually cut into them.

More on my progress tomorrow.

I know so many of you are freezing, suffering power outages, ice, and snow. But, I just have to say here in the SF Bay Area, we are experiencing spring-like weather. I know I should be thankful we don't have the severe weather the rest of the country experiences, but boy I sure would like some winter. We really need the rain.

Warm wishes and prayers to all those who are suffering with the winter storms and power outages.

Super Bowl Sunday with Bonnie

Just added the Super Bowl Strip Twist logo to my sidebar. The rules are to work along with Bonnie on her Strip Twist (or any of her other patterns) on Super Bowl Sunday.

Haven't decided if I'll start a Strip Twist on Sunday or not. But in any case, I will be working on my Double Delight this weekend. I still have nine blocks to put together to finish the top. If I get all that done on Saturday, I may just start a Strip Twist. I certainly have the 2.5" strips cut to do it. In between, I'm working slowly on Old Tobacco Road. So with all of these, I'm certainly qualified to add the logo. Seems I'm working exclusively on Bonnie's patterns these days. I'm totally hooked on scraps or making scraps from my existing stash.
