Yesterday I completed my Goodnight Irene top , it has taken me a while but so glad to have this to share .
This quilt was the result of a QAL with Terry of Terry's Treasures . I really enjoyed making this quilt , it was a great scrap buster and I love the result . Once this is quilted it will be presented to a veteran in November as part of our guild's effort to show respect and appreciation for what they have done for our country and each veteran in the veteran unit will be presented their own quilt to cherish . Thanks to Joyce for organizing this effort .
I also have caught up on my Aurifil BOM blocks and here they are as a group so far.
This months block will be available today . Again I have enjoyed these blocks and a great way to use up some fabrics I have had for a long time .
I also finished off a ufo that has been sitting since before April , a small one but a ufo all the same .
This wool pincushion was a freebie from Kaaren of the Painted Quilt , such a fun spring design and sadly only needed to be sewn together . Thanks Kaaren for this great pattern .
Thanks so much for stopping by today , hope you have a great day .
Hugs Sheila

ReplyDeleteLove the photo on horseback. You are on fire now! She's just a stitchin'. Your Irene is wonderful and how lovely to donate to such an event.
ReplyDeleteI did not realize that Canada observed Labor Day, too. I'm home laboring over the ironing board, sewing machine, oven, washer and dryer. Not the way the day is supposed to be spent! It's so good to see that you're back to sewing. You Irene is beautiful, and I'm liking the other BOM, too. See you soon.

Good to see you working hard! Your quilt projects are great and I love the pincushion. xx
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY ROB!! The quilt is gorgeous and the pillow is adorable. I love them both.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique way to celebrate Labour Day. Happy birth day to you and your son. Pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Rob!! Look at all you've accomplished. I love how your Goodnight Irene quilt came out. Mine, much smaller, is on the Janome right now, being FMQ'd. Are you participating in Terry's new sew-along? Love your blocks for the Aurifil BOM. Now that I see them together, I wish I'd sewn along, too.
ReplyDeleteWell look at you busy sewing on some great projects. Cute pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Rob!
I hope your son had a happy birthday! Your Irene looks fabulous - how great that you are able to properly get back into some sewing!!!! Your BOM blocks are very pretty - a good variety of them too. And such a sweet wee cushion - isn't it funny how some things sit waiting to be finished for ages but then only take the shortest time to comnplete?!!
