Sunday Afternoon Sewing


I have managed to get a couple hours work on Roseville Album. I am working on prepping the top border with the house. My sewing room becomes a complete wreck when I assemble a Roseville block, light box and fusible material, pencils, scissors (no matter how many scissors and pencils are laying around I can never lay my hands on one) on side of the sewing room, fabric all over the other side, and ironing board and cutting table covered with block parts. I ended up removing the blue kitty and replacing him with the orange stripe. Added a couple trees and animals and that is probably enough for a bit while I machine applique what I have done so far on this block. I have a little zip lock baggie started with little scraps for the numerous circles on the quilt. I think I am going to work on the larger appliques on the quilt first and then use the left overs for the smaller leaves, circles, etc.


It is now Sunday afternoon and I have been working a little on the long arm machine quilting a couple of donation quilts for the local hospice care center. My sweet daughter, Beth, is keeping me company working on her crochet baby hats at the cutting tables while I quilt.
A good Sunday afternoon to you all...

  2. Oooo love your fabric choices!! Waiting to do leaves and circles is a great idea. I'll have to remember that when I get started on mine :0)

    I love the charity quilt, it's so refreshing seeing a donated quilt that is not some boring pattern and color :0)
