Ok, it seems every other day is going to a good time to post and update!
I finished the quilt block I picture on Sunday, plus I have started another. I really, really enjoy quilting, its my stress reliever. I find if I have to concentrate on my stitching nothing else around me matters, well that is until one of my grandkids come to visit :) ! They are first in my life, I can quilt anytime.
Looks pretty good don't you think? I really like the color play in this block. I now move on to week # 6 Richmond. Since I started the guild late in the game I am playing catch up, kinda working from the present and at the beginning, hope that makes some sense.
Maybe with these two block you will notice I am trying to use similar color fabrics, eventually I intend to put them all together for a quilt so I want it all to blend in. I will add some of the other blocks I have done so that you all can see them. But not all at once I don't want to run to many of you off to fast, lol!!
In the evening when my husband and I are laying in bed watching TV together I am working on a postage stamp quilt for him, the squares are cut 1-1/2" and assembled on point for a block that measured 12 inch finished block. I have 16 blocks completed, and only have 9 more to make. I will then add a 2 inch border around each block and I will hand quilt it! I am hoping to finish this by Christmas for him! (crossing my fingers and toes!!)
As for as the rest of my day my grandson and I did some errands (while his mom did some house cleaning for me) I had to do. When we got home he watch Aladdin in the guest bedroom while my daughter and I visited! All in all I had a very nice day. (I wish every day was so uneventful) :)
My grandson Bryce......can you tell he loves his MawMaw!!!!
