I have been sewing quite a bit since in isolation. Just finished this little art quilt. It is 16.5" x 21"

As I'm just getting back into sewing after having rotor cuff surgery in late January I decided to try out this embroidery design set for a DWR. As my new little kitten who is no longer little at 9 months old damaged my lap quilts I use on my recliner (made from scraps back then) I decided to pull out my blues and reds scraps as most of the pieces are just 2 x 2.5. I'm using a deep red constant and a navy blue constant in the sections needed but the rings are all scraps. Also using a nice white muslin for the background which I have a bolt of so figure why not. Anyway the blocks take 1.5 hr. to sew each block and I need 48. Of course I realized after I started I didn't have enough for the border I wanted to put on it..........yes I like border on my quilts but I did have enough of the constant red and navy to make the binding with piping so that's been set aside. So far I have 6 blocks done. The designs are by Ann Goodesign, I picked them up when I got my Viking Epic machine a couple years ago.

Iceblossom-I like your scrappy rail fence quilt. Looks like it was fun to make.

I'm in this weekend. My goal is to put together this queen size top. It's my biggest quilt yet and a two year old UFO.

Hi Rob, I don't post often but your messages always seem to catch my eye, maybe because we seem to have the same interest or I see we have some of the vintage machines in common, I would love to see pictures of your thread painting & Helen Godden, I just stumbled across her on utude just a few days ago...what a great artist she is.
enjoy your day

I am in. With hubby home I seem to be in my sewing room a lot more-yes told him we need to social distance...lol. I have been working on my ever ending pile of ufo's. I swear they multiply over night. I bought the Accuquilt cutting machine a few weeks ago but told myself no playing with new toys until I complete some ufo's so far thats working.
Love reading about everyone's projects
Happy Mom's day to all even if your kids are fur or feathers.

I am making progress on the Drunkards Path that I started a couple weeks ago I am tickled that I will soon have a picture for everyone here. I am now sewing together the top. I am so excited but I needed a break for a few minutes. It is about 2/3 of the way sewn together at this moment. Maybe about 30 more minutes of sewing. This is a pattern I will definitely be making again using a different layout each time. There are so many ways to show this block off! Virtual Weekend here I come again!

I am making rag quilts for my 5 grandchildren to use as picnic blankets or keep in their car for "just in case". I was given tons of blue jeans and my friend came over a long time ago and we cut up squares and then I had a friend move quite a distance away and she gave me a lot of flannel. I have 3 quilts done and hope to work on #4 this weekend. They are pretty easy to do except for the clipping of the seams.

Checking back in to see everyone's work. Just wonderful! I have managed to finish 3 of the Farmer's Wife blocks so far. I will probably get a couple more done, but I have grandkids hanging out here today so progress is slow.
