The ham is in the slow cooker and with pre-prep accomplished yesterday my day will be fairly simple with mainly the preparation of a couple of hot vegetables and dinner will be accomplished. We are still keeping it pretty simple with just hubby and I and our son. But that is better than last year so we won't complain.</p><p>Since completing my wall quilt for the Salt and Sand Blog Hop, you can read about it <a href="https://quiltsfabricthreadtales.blogspot.com/2021/03/salt-and-sand-blog-hop-my-day.html">HERE</a>, I have been trying to play catch-up.

These will be some leftover from the larger pieces I need to cut so I am going to try to cut some of my smaller pieces from that. Wish me luck, hope my brain can figure all this math.

First I decided I need to put away some of the strips I had cut from small scraps I found while organizing my table. I knew I had a nice box I wanted to store the 1 1/2 inch strips in so I pulled it off the shelf, opened it and fo</span><span>und...more small scraps needing to be cut.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKzaPiMZlpJsQABvZCmIDC0zF9Ny5GWvzY1Wp6Baka-94XVXxvC5upO6zjNT0ih2P96VNzJJQaAfjfJ8Ple__QiKKjZs5jxy3EyhE3wLHX-7YV2MyNZCS2lBBJ2Adu2SmmiszEtvmXRyM/s5152/IMG_0010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3864" data-original-width="5152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKzaPiMZlpJsQABvZCmIDC0zF9Ny5GWvzY1Wp6Baka-94XVXxvC5upO6zjNT0ih2P96VNzJJQaAfjfJ8Ple__QiKKjZs5jxy3EyhE3wLHX-7YV2MyNZCS2lBBJ2Adu2SmmiszEtvmXRyM/s320/IMG_0010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After this discovery I spent most of the day cutting more strips from this box.

Lets hope 2021 is a much better year. Upon reflecting on 2020, I realized I could remember many of my finished projects but not all. So I have decided to revive my blog to keep track of my doings for the year.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The last few days I have been reorganizing and deciding what I would like to accomplish in this new year. Looks like we will be home a lot which will be a repeat of 2020. During my reorganizing efforts I found that everywhere I turned I unburied a pile or tote of scraps. Thus, I have decided that this year I will devote more time to finishing UFO's, which are aplenty and using up and organizing scraps. Now that doesn't mean I won't be starting new projects. In fact today I plan to prepare and start my first block of this:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmdCU2rP19dyDbVZ4hI9Hf2b4XFu0-h9zVGAR_hURMpXfHsazk_4QMMLkPzEACuq2KdAZto7pl0ltVnNMzLzey_TBhvN29fpa3P_VbIIAOS60s3SnNvp78Zqi7kqZOm1L1_dbRHVWJvNY/s3264/20201231_105248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmdCU2rP19dyDbVZ4hI9Hf2b4XFu0-h9zVGAR_hURMpXfHsazk_4QMMLkPzEACuq2KdAZto7pl0ltVnNMzLzey_TBhvN29fpa3P_VbIIAOS60s3SnNvp78Zqi7kqZOm1L1_dbRHVWJvNY/w393-h295/20201231_105248.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have always loved the works of Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice being my favorite. So I decided it was only logical to have a Pride and Prejudice quilt. My friend Lyndsey in London and I will be doing this as a BOM. These nice simple blocks should be easily accomplished in a month leaving time for other hand stitching.</div><div style="text-align: left;">We awoke this morning to sleet followed by snow. It's certainly a good day to stay in and sew. I have a turkey breast in the Crock Pot so our meal today will not be very time consuming with the Crock Pot doing most of the work.</div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;">I also need to plan my projects for the rest of the month so I best get busy. Do you have sewing plans today?</div><div style="text-align: left;">Have a good day, Life is a Journey</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;">Sherry</span></div></span></div>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09514408330125581333noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153446881021470784.post-62854713550772870532019-10-09T04:41:00.000-07:002019-10-09T04:41:37.959-07:00Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop<br />

With just a couple of templates provided in the book you can make any type of village you desire. As for my village I chose a Halloween Village since this is the Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop.<br />

After laying out my design and adding a few dots of glue to hold my pieces in place, I covered the piece with wedding tulle in black and stitched around the motifs. A nd with the addition of a button or two I had my village all ready for Halloween.</div>

I don't care for this photo quite as much since it was taken on a sheet. But it is at least sitting upright!</div>

Several of the fabrics are non-traditional to quilting making but I felt it carried out the theme. Dragon certainly has "wings".</div>

<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Here is a close-up of my Dragon . The Knight is in satin and there is a shimmering overlay on the water. My dragon authority aka. hubby, determined the dragon needed gold toenails. This wouldn't have been an issue with me except he didn't mentioned it until the piece was quilted and bound. If you are a quilter you understand. But son doesn't care and he enjoys hanging it in his home.</div>

My hubby and his brother often reminisce about flying with their father in his plane. And of course they both love airplanes so as a tribute to their father who helped to found our local airport, I created two quilts that are an adaptation of an old pieced pattern from the Kansas City Star.</div>
<div>
Here is a copy of the label I put on both quilts.</div>

Of course with the end of the Christmas season come the take down of all the festive decorations. Always a little sad for me and the house looks unhappy also. So the only remedy is to do some redecorating. My dining room was the focus for this new look.<br />

A friend from high school (which was a long time ago) made me this quilt rack a couple of years ago and I thought it would look nice as a feature focus in the dining room.<br />

Since I have been quilt making many, many years, I have many, many quilts to display. This was the solution for four of them. My friend is making me another rack for the opposite side of the wall so four more will be displayed when I receive it. I will post a photo of the completed project.<br />
<br />
As for my quilting accomplishments, I feel I am off to a good start. As stated in my last post I wanted to make this block from Season's Tweetings.<br />

Since straight stitch applique was to be used on this project. I decided to take some time to choose a needle and thread that I felt would work best on the project. I finally decided to go with a Schmetz Gold 75/11 Embroidery needle. Since the fabrics were batik for some of the applique I wanted a needle that would pierce the fabric and not skip stitches. For thread my choice was Wonderfil Invisifil. I was first introduced to this thread while attending an American Quilter's Society Show in Des Moines, Iowa in 2017. The thread is fine and as the name implies is virtually invisible without using a monopoly or monofilament. I also decided to apply my embellishments now because I did not want the stitching to show on the back of my finished quilt. I will have to be extra careful with my quilting but I think it will be worth it. There are very tiny seed bead to be applied to each block with glue but I will apply those after the quilting process is complete. Four more blocks to go. The remaining blocks are not as large but I surmise I am still in for a challenge. I get the Pine Needle Newsletter and am very tempted to order more projects but remind myself to finish this one first as it definitely is a challenge.</div>

My next effort was to set the blocks together to get my first flimsy of the year. I had finished the blocks just before the end of the year. Lots of buttons on this one and I kinda dragged my feet on getting all those buttons applied. Once again quilting will be a slower process but I am okay with that. Next week my goal is to get the backing made and batting cut so the quilt is ready for the quilting process.</div>

This past Tuesday was my all day quilt guild meeting where we sew, have lunch, have meeting, have program and sew some more. I chose to make my blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. You will find their button on my sidebar and the link to the So Scrappy blog <a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br />

Next on my list was to start the Sunshine Garden BOM from Quilt Doodle Doodle. Button once again on my side bar and you will find the blog <a href="https://quiltdoodledesigns.blogspot.com/">here. </a></div>
<div>
I am really excited about this BOM as I love this first block. Can't wait until February and the next installment. At first I couldn't decide the method of applique wanted to use. Being old school I like to turn my edges under and hand applique but with so much to get completed this year I decided to go with a fusible technique with Blanket Stitch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
Not sure why this photo flipped on its side but I can't flip it upright, but you get the picture (pun intended) I used this new to me fusible by Clover, I generally use Steam a Seam 2 or Heat and Bond Lite. I found it a nice fusible to use, it adheres well and using my Applique Scissors by Karen Buckley I didn't have any fray on my edges which is one of my pet peeves with raw edge applique. I used polyester embroidery weight thread in a color to match my fabric to finish the edge.</div>

This is the results of our Friday and Saturday of this past week. It is really quite a lovely snow but I have been enjoying it from the warmth of my studio. I have kept my sewing machine humming with blocks for a new Charity quilt from a pattern called Roadblock Quilt, a Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorial. I will be presenting it to my day guild in February for approval so we can divide up in 4 groups and try to make four of the quilts in a day for our local police department. It is a quilt consisting of blocks and strips so they should go pretty quickly. I'll show the completed flimsy in my next post.</div>

<div>
The project that tags along with all my other projects is my leader enders project by Bonnie Hunter "Jewel Box Stars" I have lots of pieces and parts to this, but finished these six yesterday evening while making my 9-Patches for the Charity Quilt.</div>
<div>
And where will I be the rest of the day...…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hopefully finishing up the Charity Quilt, life is a journey...have a great day!<br />

Not quite sure why, but I did. I have continued reading my favorite blogs and doing lots of quilt making but realized recently my documentation of progress and completion was lacking. I have kept a record of monthly and weekly goals but it stopped there. I am hoping reviving my blog will give me a better accounting of my daily accomplishments. As I look back I think perhaps I tried to write posts when there wasn't much to say. So for now I am going to attempt a weekly update and see how it goes.<br />
<br />
So hello again and Happy New Year!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I have my lists made of UFO's WIP's and New Projects I want to start. So now to make this month's goals and see how I do. Many of my projects involve BOM's or projects I can turn into them so I believe that will be my approach. My Cancer Quilt is still not complete and I plan to try to break it down in segments I can achieve monthly to hopefully make good progress on it this year.<br />
One of my new projects is the Garden Sunshine BOM from Quilt Doodle Doodle. You can find the latest post <a href="https://quiltdoodledesigns.blogspot.com/p/bom-2019.html">here</a> and the link is on my sidebar.<br />

The first month is now live and I love it already. A combination of piecing and applique, what's not to love!<br />
<br />
Yesterday I started the first block of this BOM.<br />

<br />
I have started with the largest block, the Snowman. I truly love her patterns but find them a little challenging. She recommends using a straight stitch to secure the pieces to the blocks and I must admit, this is the first time I have used this technique. I understand the reasoning but it is challenging even with this method.<br />
I have a few other projects on this list for this week so will have to see how far I get. I will update later in the week.<br />
So for now have a good week...and remember life is a journey.<br />

<br />
Upon reflection on 2015 I find it was definitely an interesting year and I know I accomplished several quilting projects, but find it difficult to recall all that was accomplished. Today is the first day to my blog since January 11, 2015. Last year I felt I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough time getting those much loved projects completed. But as I look back I find not having the structure and stimulation of participating in the many blog projects I find interesting has not been as productive as I has anticipated. So here I am back in the loop with dozen of projects dancing in my head. I hope to reconnect with many blog friends that were followers of my blog in the past.<br />
<br />
In the upcoming months I will visit about some of the happenings of last year but think I will start out slowly and will start with my latest endeavor the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt for this year. This is the first one I have been able to complete the clues on time so since the reveal was last Thursday I have started to set some blocks together. I am really excited about this quilt and plan to focus, (hmmm perhaps focus needs to be my word of the year, will have to ponder that thought), on completing the top this month.<br />

I will begin with the finished row.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiU0qcLb4yIAvjTDe_fW4Ox0We3rrvrZnTsXX1bUIyiyZF0bMZzbexXcU_wCg7IuSarZu-tMZBqxqAhDgFBRx0114JltImY9aJz-2lrz38DeR42W85YyloRYEpZ2xerO9X_zs0XQhmo8E/s1600/20140106_123026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiU0qcLb4yIAvjTDe_fW4Ox0We3rrvrZnTsXX1bUIyiyZF0bMZzbexXcU_wCg7IuSarZu-tMZBqxqAhDgFBRx0114JltImY9aJz-2lrz38DeR42W85YyloRYEpZ2xerO9X_zs0XQhmo8E/s1600/20140106_123026.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is a very simple Road To California block but when blocks are rotated will create a zig-zag effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The fabric requirements for the row is as follows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Color A 1 strip - 4 1/2" x WOF (width of fabric) subcut into 8 4 1/2" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1 strip - 4 7/8" x WOF subcut into 8 4 7/8" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Color B 1 strip - 4 7/8" x WOF subcut into 8 4 7/8" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Color C 2 strips - 4 1/2" x WOF subcut into 12 4 1/2" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For each individual block you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Color A 2 4 1/2" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2 4 7/8" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Color B 2 4 7/8" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Color C 3 4 1/2" squares</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now that the fabric is cut create your half square triangles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

You will need to draw a double line on the back of one color of your 4 7/8" squares. To do this I like to use a sandpaper board, a ruler from the Omnigrid Ruler Trio Set and a Pigma Pen.</div>

Measure the finished square at this point to be sure it measures 4 1/2" square. If the Square is more than 4 1/2" trim. If it is not 4 1/2" you have taken too deep a seam and will need to unsew your stitches and resew further away from your pencil line and closer to the cut edge.</div>

It was being a little stubborn as I wanted it to be as straight as possible and it was a little puffy so I was trying to hold it down with my hand as I stitched. My longarm apparently though it would lay better if it sewed my finger to the quilt. I on the other hand did not share that idea. I quickly removed my hand and said to my hubby that I might need a little assistance in the bathroom. He followed to see blood and immediately started reaching for the band-aids. Dear hubby is generally the one to need band-aids for his various cuts and scraps so he knew right where to find them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being a quilter I naturally needed a quilted band-aid so he chose from this box for me. "QuiltVent" technology has to be good doesn't it?</div>

I know you are wondering about the quilt instead of my finger. But here is my finger anyway. It sewed along the outside edge but you can't see the blood line in the photo.</div>

I am happy to report not one drop of blood got on the quilt and as you can see my border stitching didn't suffer either. Frankly, I am a little surprised by that.</div>

I can see right where it happened and perhaps you can also but I don't think it looks bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finished the quilt holding my pinkie up as if I was drinking tea from a china cup, just in case.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My plan was to do some piecing on a quilt after this finish, but now I think I will curl up in my recliner and do a little hand embroidery on a project I have been wanting to start. No more machines for me today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope your journey today was without mishap.</div>

I know I have done quite a bit of quilting through the year, but apparently not a lot to show for it. I know my monthly goal setting plan has not been set to execution this past year so perhaps that is where my problem lies.<br />
<br />
I did accomplish one piece that I feel is worthy of mention and that was my Challenge from my local quilt guild. The coordinator placed a package of candy in a brown paper bag and we were to draw a bag and interpret our candy in a wall quilt approximately 24 inches in diameter. <br />
<br />
The candy I drew was Snow Caps. To be quite honest I had not heard of Snow Caps before but fortunately it was not a difficult candy for me to execute into my Challenge.<br />
<br />
Here is "On Top of Snow Cap Candy Mountain"...............<br />

It is machine applique and the leaves on the trees are "Confetti Quilting" . Confetti Quilting is a technique that I had been wanting to practice and this was the perfect opportunity for me to to do just that.<br />
<br />
So as the new year begins I plan to be more structured to accomplish more for "me".<br />
My wonderful hubby got me off on a great start with a wonderful kit as one of my Christmas gift.<br />
But more about that in a future post. I am off to get myself organized and decide what I intend to accomplish in the new year.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year everyone. May your journey is this fresh new year be a happy and productive one.Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09514408330125581333noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153446881021470784.post-10559817214152192962014-07-17T16:16:00.003-07:002014-07-17T16:16:52.297-07:00A Special Day<br />

Today started out as a normal day of teaching my scheduled students. Around noon I received a call from one of my students asking if she could drop by this afternoon and bring a friend also a student. I said sure, excited for their visit.<br />
One of these ladies writes poetry and stated when she came in that she had written me a poem, She started to hand it to me and I asked her to read it to us and this is what she read:<br />

The completed row looks like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Half Square triangles and squares create the block for Row 4 of the Row Along, If you need to refer to the HQT tutorial you can find it <a href="http://quiltsfabricthreadtales.blogspot.com/2014/01/row-along-row-1.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The fabric requirements for Row 4 as as follows:<br />
<br />
Color A 1 strip 4 7/8" x WOF Subcut into 8 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color B 1 strip 4 7/8" x WOF Subcut into 8 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
2 strips 4 1/2 x WOF Subcut into 16 4 1/2" squares<br />
<br />
Color C 1 strip 4 1/2" x WOF Subcut into 4 4 1/2" squares<br />
<br />
For each individual block you will need:<br />
<br />
Color A 2 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color B 2 4 7/8" squares<br />
4 4 1/2" squares<br />
<br />
Color C 1 4 1/2" square<br />
<br />
Construct the HST's and arrange the squares in the following order:<br />

I thought this piece was an excellent example to use in my Easter Greeting this year. <br />
<br />
A student of mine shared with me that her sister had purchased a new embroidery machine and was wondering if I would show her some tips and projects, which included quilting of course and I said I would be happy to do it.<br />
<br />
These motifs from Embroidery Library and a little piecing resulted in this breathtaking wall quilt. It was a gift to her husband on his birthday and her first quilting project. Didn't she do a magnificent job?<br />
<br />
I provided the machine quilting and I will admit I was a bit intimidated by not only the lovely project, but also this being my first work around embroidery motifs.<br />
<br />
Great Job Jan!<br />
<br />
And Happy Easter to all as we celebrate our Risen Savior!<br />

<br />
Once again HST's (half square triangles) along with squares creates the block. And again if you need to a refresher on creating your HST's refer to the Row 1 post, you can find it <a href="http://quiltsfabricthreadtales.blogspot.com/2014/02/row-along-row-2.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The fabric requirements for Row 3 are as follows:<br />
<br />
Color A 1 strip 4 7/8" x WOF subcut into 8 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color B 1 strip 4 7/8" x WOF subcut into 8 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
2 strips 4 1/2" x WOF subcut into 16 4 1/2" squares<br />
<br />
Color C 1 strip 4 1/2" x WOF subcut into 4 4 1/2" squares<br />
<br />
For each individual block you will need:<br />
<br />
Color A 2 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color B 2 4 7/8" squares<br />
4 4 1/2" squares<br />
<br />
Color C 1 4 1/2" square<br />
<br />
After constructing your 4 HST's arrange the 9 squares in this order:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5WH3sVQoBs4ajCAwLnvge38ubxRQahXG95Pl67C-8iyg-ivlSWods7HDi3dQB6dBnV0KONwO29C9eD3509mIQyYzmInL16Hlmj4t4M5-BSNYYmjGXkYuJO4OlBFTQ2X4rcju2ICo2kHA/s1600/20140319_192307.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5WH3sVQoBs4ajCAwLnvge38ubxRQahXG95Pl67C-8iyg-ivlSWods7HDi3dQB6dBnV0KONwO29C9eD3509mIQyYzmInL16Hlmj4t4M5-BSNYYmjGXkYuJO4OlBFTQ2X4rcju2ICo2kHA/s1600/20140319_192307.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Sew the 4 blocks together like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUCYTxuz56fAaQpfE1moS7RkhpH0BgOPqgzRbfOxuueqSnk1AYL-uAGjnvj1uFgeMHblCS1CYc-tcPRN4Yi1RXcyM7LGWdk8PlOlGexmMz0OXS2HYZ_u33bVfGMa_IF0izBSNAmPCiNU/s1600/20140319_204808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUCYTxuz56fAaQpfE1moS7RkhpH0BgOPqgzRbfOxuueqSnk1AYL-uAGjnvj1uFgeMHblCS1CYc-tcPRN4Yi1RXcyM7LGWdk8PlOlGexmMz0OXS2HYZ_u33bVfGMa_IF0izBSNAmPCiNU/s1600/20140319_204808.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
and sew the 4 together to create Row 3.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Only 2 more rows to go.<br />
<br />
Hope you are enjoying this Row Along journey.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicWeRYB9tkfVJHUpQkbAwUspwZpWKLr_wOLX1uUNc-oi7hJmgsZfKsexzSExNd2PPBb78R2D5tVoh6cgrdK73j5eF34SyquvOCIiXOzkz_PRAl0OHeZqkHJ6IbtH34psJPIujzD-aNvIQ/s1600/20140220_071806.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicWeRYB9tkfVJHUpQkbAwUspwZpWKLr_wOLX1uUNc-oi7hJmgsZfKsexzSExNd2PPBb78R2D5tVoh6cgrdK73j5eF34SyquvOCIiXOzkz_PRAl0OHeZqkHJ6IbtH34psJPIujzD-aNvIQ/s1600/20140220_071806.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This row continues the use of HST's (half square triangles). Please refer to Row 1 for a refresher on making the HST's. You can find the post <a href="http://quiltsfabricthreadtales.blogspot.com/2014/01/row-along-row-1.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The name that EQ applies to this block is Ribbon Quilt.<br />
<br />
The fabric requirements for Row 2 are as follows:<br />
<br />
Color A 2 strips 4 7/8" x WOF subcut into 16 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color B 2 strips 4 7/8" x WOF subcut into 16 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color C 1 strip 4 1/2" x WOF subcut into 4 4 1/2 " squares<br />
<b>Note: You should have enough leftover fabric from Row 1 of Color C to generate these 4 squares. I suggest you check that out before cutting another strip. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You will have 32 individual HST's to complete the row.<br />
<br />
For each individual block you will need:<br />
<br />
Color A 4 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color B 4 4 7/8" squares<br />
<br />
Color C 1 4 1/2" square<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After constructing your HST's arrange them in this order:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSb5Yh38hQJAq-bmBr7-znhYVNuRzK4M8dBhPZKWaJgsBg4bCLGLt1H3wI7pjrSCtY3o2wxJsq8hAOp6NKBDGtKpERC7bAl2HgaO5Mdya3BX2CLJe4NQiI66jTOJ7s9DGmt5eLxkLUwNw/s1600/20140218_180813.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSb5Yh38hQJAq-bmBr7-znhYVNuRzK4M8dBhPZKWaJgsBg4bCLGLt1H3wI7pjrSCtY3o2wxJsq8hAOp6NKBDGtKpERC7bAl2HgaO5Mdya3BX2CLJe4NQiI66jTOJ7s9DGmt5eLxkLUwNw/s1600/20140218_180813.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The completed block will naturally look like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I suggest you wait until all rows are complete before sewing them together in case you would like to play with the arrangement of the rows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope your journey this last month has been a fun one. See you March 20th with Row 3.</div>

You can read about my goal <a href="http://quiltsfabricthreadtales.blogspot.com/2014/01/january-2014-lovely-year-of-finishes.html">here</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And along with completing the four BOM blocks I wanted to start the setting blocks and I was able to finish all 12 of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was doing so well I was hoping to get the top together, but alas it is still on the design wall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh581vPf4JgHBBk6vxH4Qx4GM_DcNaYK5aGl8bxHd-RXEtEeYw5hTzra8jkvttTrDRw9jIUU9wwQC2xEgLNi0ECyqqrn_0RcY7CGgwoauS09kyWmUVez3mTmcG4QwjqTT3w6-fF3Oqwoeg/s1600/20140118_114130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh581vPf4JgHBBk6vxH4Qx4GM_DcNaYK5aGl8bxHd-RXEtEeYw5hTzra8jkvttTrDRw9jIUU9wwQC2xEgLNi0ECyqqrn_0RcY7CGgwoauS09kyWmUVez3mTmcG4QwjqTT3w6-fF3Oqwoeg/s1600/20140118_114130.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry the photo is not very good. There is not much space for taking photos where my design wall is located and it is the only free wall in the house. So I deal with it. Actually it works well except for photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not too disappointed I didn't get it together as I did get other things accomplished and soon my design wall will be empty and ready for another project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I feel my year is off to a good start and now I need to figure out my goal for next month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lots of time spent with students, but also some me time for stitching.<br />
<br />
The prediction for today is warm and sunny so after lunch with son at a local restaurant, hubby and I will be off to the city, about 30 miles from home to do a little shopping.<br />
<br />
So what better opportunity for me to slow stitch than on our little drive. <br />
<br />
Earlier this week I was able to put together this little piece for a friend. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It is Bloomin Minds "My Snowman" It is only 6" x 12.5" so it went very quickly and was a fun reprieve from all the piecing I have been doing, but more about that later.<br />
<br />
So I am linking up with Kathy over at Slow Sunday Stitching. Her button is on my sidebar, be sure to check it out.<br />
