Figuring Out What's Next...


Good morning, friends!
Just a short catch-up on projects.  Not much going on lately.  Trying to find a block pattern that I want to create for my pink fabrics.  There are so many to choose from!!
I might get my Featherweight machine out to do some sewing.  It still needs some tweaking.










This book are letters from farmer's wives and the 111 blocks they inspired.  Wonderful book.  The patterns are also included of each block.



IF you purchase this book, you'll need to go to:
  You Tube...
Click on: Stitch with Rachel
look in the description for the MORE button...
 Click on it and find the Download the Amendments link...
then "buy" the amendment...it cost $00... nothing.  then just follow the links to print it out.  
Keep with your book...you'll need it!
If you work on each page...you'll create 100 blocks for a Sampler quilt of your own!


It's a gorgeous quilt just waiting for your own unique interpretation of the colors!  I'm going to try it for myself.  It'll take me a while, but I'd love to master these blocks.








And last but not least, Christmas is 284 days away.  Maybe I can get a Christmas quilt finished?
Anyway...That's about it for me.  Larry has bloodwork this morning for his thyroid, at the VA.  I'll have breakfast ready when he walks back in...
Have a beautiful and sewful day!

  5. Popped in to see what you sewed today? I did another hand towel and ripped apart a shirt. Didn't use the shirt yet. How goes the quilting?
