There were several cancellations at retreat, but we still had a nice group. I put together a top for charity, and worked on some blocks for two different sampler quilts. I don't have pictures right now because my sewing room is all cleaned and everything put away. I'm cleaning for company! I'm hosting a small sewing group on Wednesday, and it's requiring some serious cleaning. Most of my friends live in large beautiful houses, which always seem to be immaculate. Not so with our small townhouse. I can't stand the clutter, so I seldom have guests. This has been a great chance to do some more decluttering. We've filled the dumpster, and I have two boxes for donation. Just hope we can keep up the momentum after sewing group.
I finished two more Baltimore Album blocks!
My OPAM is also my RSC project for the month - a red doll quilt. And yes, sometimes machine applique is the only way to go!
If you're still on Giraffe watch, will tonight be the night? Sunny

ReplyDeleteThat is a heap of snow! Love the blocks you have made and your doll quilt. I hope you have a lovely time with your sewing friends. (And I bet they all rush around to clean their homes before company arrives, too.)

It's nice to have an excuse to have a clean out isn't it - but just remember, people come to see you, not the house so try not to fret too much about your house!! The Baltimore blocks are very sweet - I agree with you, applique is fun isn't it and I love the effect of it. Gorgeous heart quilt - I still haven't even looked at my reds this month - there's a few days left so hopefully I can do something with them! Wow, I love to see your snow, but I'm so pleased you were able to get out and get to retreat!
ReplyDeleteI love your applique blocks... so effective and the snow looks so pretty..... glad you still got to retreat .... the red hearts is so lovely.... great RSC project

Your Baltimore Blocks are just perfect. Just right colors too. I'm so glad you love applique now. I used to say the same thing. And I love it too. The little red heart quilt is adorable.
ReplyDeleteGosh I cannot imagine living with a snowy season - I hope it's going to lead to a lovely sunny Spring for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on Baltimore - definitely have to be an applique fan to do that.
I hope you enjoy hosting your group & I agree with another Comment, don't you think for a moment that they too aren't running around making their homes shiny-clean for guests!
Your stitching on your Baltimore Album blocks is beautiful and such pretty fabric choices. The greens are outstanding. Many Happy returns of your birthday too!
ReplyDeleteI love your little red heart quilt (came via the RSC link) and having a small nest myself I know all about the shuffling to fill it up with friends
ReplyDeleteand the snow storm attributed to my Mr B coming home to NZ a day late ... he was very impressed with the snow in Boston!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great sewing day Sunny....
