Catchup - Feb 25th-26th

Feb 25th

Another family/friends sewing weekend is on!  Well lunch is a gonner!  Pat brought homemade chicken soup (stew-like) with cheese n crackers.  Sylvia divided her cake pan and half was apple and the other blueberry crisps!  YUMMY!!!  

I'm sewing sashing to my wonky log cabin blocks with HST cut offs sewn together as leaders n enders. 

Edna is working on a chair cover for her son-in-law's head rest chair.  


Pat is finishing off a table runner from awhile back.  

Pet's UFO (unfinished object) now a FO (finished object).

Sylvia is working on her bed quilt using BQ pattern by Maple Island Quilts, showcasing different flowers in each block.  

And Sylvia's banana loaf for coffee break!  🤗

Supper was Edna's pulled pork with Sylvia's cabbage salad and her crisps for dessert!  It was an early night but back at it tomorrow!!!

Feb 26th

Here's another day we're all playing!  I decided to try this new project from YouTube Revelation Quilt called Trippy Triangle Quilts which she used 6 inch charms but I'm trying it with my 2.5 inch mini charms. 

Trippy Triangle project

Here's the missed picture of Edna's chair head cover from yesterday. 

Evan's chair cover

She also finished off her rolled Take Along Placemat from Quilter's World Spring 2014, except for hand sewing and starting another one. 

Evan's Take Along cutlery holder placemats.


Pat made the hanger for another UFO and now back to her table topper, Paper Pieced Snowflake from a recent Country Register. 

Pet's finished hanger.

Sylvia is continuing her BQ floral quilt blocks.

Lunch was my contribution of a chicken taco salad!  All said just YUMMY!!!


OK here is what the mini charms work up as!  So cute I think, so onto more squares.  Block size is 1 5/8 X 3 3/4 inch.

My 2.5 inch mini charms into Trippy Triangles.

Ohhh a good weekend for all of us!  Sylvia has enjoyed our company and sewed up quite a few of her floral blocks, soon to choose which will be in her quilt.  

Pat finished off her paper pieced topper, just needs to be bound. 

Pet's PP'd Snowflake in summer dress!

Edna cut out 3 more Take Along Placemats and anxious  to finish them off at home.

Wrapping up all her cutlery placemats.

She's a happy camper!

I resumed the "rippit" of sewn rows of not aligned columns of my wonky log cabin.  Retrying by marking the vertical sashing seams on the horizontal sashing per Sylvia's guidance and VOILA I was aligned!

Thank you Pat for the picture.

So at home I'll finish it off for another ABC quilt top completed awaiting quilting and increased my pile of leaders and enders.

We finished off having supper at the Wok Box on Dakota near the LC before all going home to relax!

Hmmmmm last night I THOUGHT I'd finished off my dimensional embroidery homework ready for tomorrow's class and new steps.  

NO, NOPE, NADA, NO SIREEE!!!!  😬😪😵‍💫

See I switched to the leaves and rosebuds BUTTT totally forgot to start with the STEMS!!!  I was totally annoyed and went to sleep and today I'm too tired to start it, so tomorrow I'll try to stitch it into place between the background and foreground!  🙏
