The New Year has started out with crazy weather in Austin, TX. Nineteen degrees one day and mid-seventies two days later! I hope you are staying safe and warm wherever you are.
The theme of sewing so far this year has been "Fireflies, Flowers, and Butterflies". I am currently working on charity quilts and honing my skills for custom quilting. I am having fun with sashing, borders, and placing different patterns throughout the quilt.
I have also started my "Block of the Month" club at my LQS and am making a Butterfly quilt called, "Ledidoptera" by Elizabeth Hartman as well as a "5 at the Hive" club. It is so much fun working on just a few blocks all year round and then putting the whole quilt together at the end of the year. It's also fun to attend the meeting and see all the beautiful quilts that folks bring for show and tell!
I am still finishing up my quilts from 2016 "Block of the Month" club and today am sharing my Tractor quilt, which is nearly finished. I need to add yellow ric-rac and binding. I'll post a finished picture next time, but want to show this time all the fun I had with pinwheels! One-hundred fifty-six of them, but who is counting ;).....
Until next time, Happy Quilting!!!
