Other quilters projects becoming my treasures.

I am fortunate that one quilters half done projects can be another quilters joy...and that is me. 
A quilter on line wanted to offload some of her projects she didn't want to finish 
This is the first one I have pulled out and started working on 
I love the fabrics she had it organised, her 1/4 and pressing was perfect and she even had pins numbering the pieced rows she had already completed. 
I am not sure why she ran out of gas with it but I gave it new love and attention and have it all pieced I only had to piece another 3 rows and border then I added another border from my stash fabric you can see a little below. 
The pictures do not do the fabrics value justice I have the first project pieced and ready to quilt. (pile) 
It is very large and fits our queen with a nice drop I will post a finish when the weather is not so wet. 

I was able to put borders on during a fabulous international zoom conducted by ChookyBlue
It was a very relaxing time chatting and catching up. 
So on to number 2 this again had most of the blocks done everything on the wall except 3 nine patches. so I have started putting it together. 
Since this picture i have fixed the bottom 2 right blocks they were not correct. 

I started putting this together today while zooming with a bunch of canadian quilters and the conversation was great on guild interaction it almost felt like I was at an interguild meeting 
Lots of input and ideas on how to keep the numbers up in the guild since the Covid transition
I know one thing i am going to make this one again with my scraps love the secondary design. 

 This is the place where I sit and do my hand work, I have 3 projects in transition here. 

I am hand quilting the amish quilt. I am also stitch an wonderful https://www.crabapplehillstudio.com/hocuspocusville this is a fun pattern and I have really been taking my sweet time with it. I have 4 blocks done but feel that I am going to progress a little more quickly with it I am getting a stitching rhythm and I am sure you understand what that means. 

All this with closing the gardens we have had superb weather but I have a feeling it is going to turn very soon the winds have picked up tonight and the leaves sound like they were were all clapping as they scurried across the drive. 

Well hope you are able to get some stitching done would like to visit and see I love show and tell

  1. Along with the most recent donated stash came several rather vintage looking pieced tops. With my own slow work in progress, I have yet to spread them out and figure out if they are worth saving and wether I have the skill to do it. You always seem to have lots of projects going on at once.
