I can't believe Christmas break is over and I'm headed to work again on Monday! After reading about
Jo's completed BOM, I decided to start my list anew.
- PA Dutch-needs sashing and borders
- Chocolatier-needs blocks
- Cool Yule-needs sashing and borders
- Ramona's baskets (civil war): one block left then assemble and make the borders
- Ramona's baskets (30's): need to make three blocks, then assemble and add borders
- Shelby's graduation quilt/goose chase-this one is the one that has really slowed me down
One the plus side, in December I found out that I am anemic and that's why I'm exhausted all of the time. I started taking iron so I am hopeful that will help with my energy level and I'll be able to sew when I get home in the evenings. Plus the new Saturday Ramona started today!
The fabrics are batiks which I normally don't care for. In fact, I was going to use civil war repros but I really like how this one looks, so I bought the batik block.
I need to make of list of things I completed this year. That will make me feel better!
Made the last Thirties block for my 2018 Ramona baskets. I'm nearly out of my favorite Kona Snow so I will have to wait to finish until I can order some. I looked at the setting Ramona provided for the Civil War fabrics and will at least do the setting triangles and border. Isn't this a sweet block? I just love Thirties.
And here is the first block for Goose Chase. I wanted to see how the red looked with the turquoise. I hope Magpie likes this quilt when I am finished! I like to include a little "joke" fabric when I make a quilt. Can you see it? One little flying goose made of turquoise 30's!!
