Anyway, with the pandemic and lack of materials was should have taken 4 months took 7 months. But now it's done and I'm loving it.

Anyway, I had my neighbor make a table to go into the sunroom so I could use my extra bar stools, 6 of them but that's another story how I came to have so many extras. He made it out of maple wood so it's a solid table and heavy. I have cats that don't understand they're not allowed on counters and tables so wanted to make a quilted tablecloth for it to protect it. After the help of my sister to pull out the perfect fabric out of my stash as I'm on a no buying spree of fabrics since 11/19. I designed the tablecloth using EQ8 but forgot when I went to print out the flying geese sections to make sure it was to size so my end sections I couldn't use but I did use the side sections and just took some off. You'll understand when you see it.

Anyway, got the tablecloth quilted with crosshatching on top and quilting in the flying geese on the sides. Then decided to make up some window valances with the scraps. Nothing fancy though. Then just the other day I got 3 placemats made up using some of the corner blocks I couldn't use on the tablecloth. Also made a runner using a section of the flying geese for the top of my air fryer. Yesterday I used up more of the scraps and made 3 towel holders. I still need to make a new cover for my old mixer and for my little 3qt Instant Pot and then I'm done with the scraps from this project.

I also got a runner with embroidery on it for the dresser of the spare bedroom, crosshatched around the embroidery. Then I finished my bench quilt using snowmen appliqued blocks and quilted the heck out of it. So I got a few of the smaller projects done. I now have an actual quilt on the frame but it will be a custom job and a very stressful job so I'm holding off on it for a bit.

Here's some of my finished projects for this month.
