I started this project about a month or so ago but it has sat idle and I need to get back at it .
I seen this little project in the new Fons and Porter Christmas Celebration magazine and JUST had to make it , so darn cute . I now need to start the applique process .
On Wednesday I attended a workshop at our guild and Janice taught us the attic window method using a panel . I had done attic windows many years ago but the fact we were using a panel really intriqued me so I signed up and was so glad I did , I really enjoyed the class . Thanks Janice !
Can you tell what this was? A fall wreath , I still need to add borders but I am loving it so far . There was some beautiful panels used so these will be a lovely addition to our quilt show .
I also made my three blocks for the BOM for our guild , the last block I did was called Grandmothers Favorite , I wonder which grandmother because it sure wasn't this one lol . Why you ask , well it was partly PP and I am not a fan of PP but I am sure not a fan of PP that does not fit . Now it could be my printer but the pattern was way too big but I adjusted the best I could and made the block and it isn't perfect but it will do ;-) In the picture below it is the one on the upper left , next to that is Fancy Stripes then the lower one is called Four Corners , all came from the Quilters Cache website .
This is going to be a scrappy Christmas quilt :-)
Today I am finishing off the Aurifil BOM for November then back to Christmas sewing .
Hope all is well in your world , we are going to get some of the white stuff today , they say we could receive 10 cm. , I am not ready for that but it does make for a good day to sew .
Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you have a great day .
hugs Sheila
Great projects, Sheila. I hope your joints cooperate for your sewing day. Check that the scale is set correctly for your paper piecing. I had nightmares before I figured that out!
ReplyDeletevery nice Sheila...I haven't been showing much on here either. I am sewing a quilting constantly...but for Christms still...don't dare post them...lol. Have the king size quilt on
ReplyDeleteTiara right now. Got started a little bit on it this morning. this is my largest on the machine so far!!!!!!
Welcome back. Sorry to hear that your joints aren't behaving as they ought. You are right - that little character is certainly very cute!The Quilter's Cache site is one you don't seem to hear about on blogs much these days - but it's a firm favourite of mine! Lynne
ReplyDeleteLove your new projects - particularly the Xmas scrappy quilt - not sure I with would get one finished in time!
ReplyDeleteHope your joints don't stop you as you see to have a lot on the go at the moment.
Ohhhh Ahhhhh... cant wait to see the Christmas quilt, love the fabrics and blocks so far.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is she!! It will be darling when it is all appliqued. By hand or machine?
ReplyDeleteI love you projects! Life sometimes gets in the way of our projects. I haven't had the chance to sew or spend time blogging. I am sorry you are having troubles with your joints. That can makes everyday activities a challenge!
ReplyDeleteYour new projects are very beautiful, dear Sheila!
ReplyDeleteI hope you finished in time the lovely christmas project!
Warm hugs, Deborah
Hi Sheila as usuasual such beautiful projects,love them all,enjoy your day and the snow.xx
ReplyDeleteYour little skater is very cute, and I love the attic window wreath - what a good idea! Cold wet white stuff, well, if you don't want it you could send some our way......today's forecast is for 40 deg C, we're having a heatwave right now.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you haven't been feeling up to par. THrow another log on the fire and get as cozy as you can. Love all your projects, and hope to see more soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects. Sorry to hear of you join trouble. I can commiserate with you there. :) I was just thinking on Wednesday i wonder what the next blocks are in your guilds BOM & here they are. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post with such cute projects...that skater is a sweetie! Sorry for your aches and pains, but so glad that you are able to do a little sewing. Your blocks are gorgeous and your attic windows is pretty awesome with that panel! Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeletehow clever is that attic window wreath and lovely blocks.... I do hope you feel a bit better soon ....xx

Your applique project really is too cute - bet you will have fun with it. The attic window wreath intrigues me too - is the panel cut up and spread apart? Hope it doesn't get too cold and hope your joints settle down soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your attic window - what a great idea. Sorry about the joints - hope things soon improve. Cod liver oil? You have to set your printer to 'actual size' rather than any other setting. But having said that I tried to print something out for a friend the other day and it would not budge from 90% so we had to draw it up - would have been quicker to that in the first place. Have a good weekend and enjoy your white stuff. xx
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are having pain Sheila. Hope it eases soon. All your projects are lovely. Take care. Sending you healing and hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteI love that little skater; it is the cutest thing.
ReplyDeleteSending a hug your way! You sure do work through it though. Love all your blocks.
ReplyDeleteLovely and festive projects you are working on, Sheila. Sorry to hear your joints are keeping you from enjoying as much sewing as you would like. And I think we got some of that snow you were expecting. Kids got their first snow day of the season today! Ha, ha!
