Squirrel, Snowflake,

I will begin with the squirrel that I caught.  The pattern is Seasonal Hexie from Lynn Wilder at Sew'n Wild Oaks.  Somehow it jumped into my cart when I was looking at her quilt patterns.  I grabbed some scraps and stitched it together.  It is about 20 inches across.  Machine quilted with stitch in the ditch and the heart ruler was used for the center. It was nice to have a finish so quickly.  It has already gone to a new home, but this will be a made again pattern.

I have been enjoying making the potato chip blocks.  Here they are on my wall.  They will become a quilt for the bed in one of the extra bedrooms.  I am really liking making a block without serious thinking.  It will be a wild quilt and that is really appealing to me.  Going through all those fat quarters and cutting them up is great fun.  Only one or two get cut up a day, material that I wonder why I picked it.  (The material that I can see using gets placed aside.)  The parts added to the box for this quilt, another box for the quilt that will be made with 12 inch finished blocks and then my nine-patch box.  Three scrappy quilts in my mind. 

Snowflake Tablerunner from Piecing the Past Quilts has been sandwiched.  I need to pick up some muslin to add border on the long side.  I will hand quilt this in my hoop and I need a bit more material on the sides to hold it in the hoop.  It was basted by machine, the first time that I have done that.  Shall see how that works.

Work has begun on Season and Time by Moira Blackburn. This is being worked with it on its side as it is long, and I rather work in the frame than the hoop.  Here is the center, bottom on the left, top on the right.  It will be worked toward the sides.

Won't be doing any hand work until this afternoon.  The gardens are calling me.  It is 39 degrees outside now, but the sun is shining.  

May you all have time to enjoy your threads today.  Thank you for visiting.  Linking to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts.
