And started yet another quilt!
I'm trying so hard to wrap up some WIPs, but my foot pedal situation (see earlier post) is slowing me down. Time to make a call for a replacement.
Friday I did manage to finish a fourth Shadow of the Bear (SotB) block for the center of my abbreviated version. The foot pedal operates so sporadically, sometimes fast, sometimes stitch-by-stitch. Add to that it's a complicated block, I'm just glad I got it done. (sorry, the angle of the photo distorts it a bit ... it's really square)
Now all I have to do is make the corner blocks -- I already have a plan -- and then add borders. I still need to make one more shadow block for the second quilt I am working on.
Serendipity: A Smores friend brought me Trudie Hughes' book that has the original SotB quilt and I discovered there is also a pattern for a small quilt which is exactly what I have planned!
Yesterday our new Creative Hands group at church had their second monthly gathering and I spent my time turning the binding on a smallish wall hanging. It's a moldy-oldy and I will be so thrilled to have it finished. I'll take a picture when it's done.
I received a Connecting Threads order of precut strips in solid colors this week so today I sewed 2-1/2" squares to some strips and made 9-patches. I don't know yet how I will set them. It will be a small quilt.
The Encore Azaleas are going crazy in the garden below my window.
And my Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus is starting to bloom.
