post and that the summer is over in early june we traveled to high point nc to move my parents to pensacola they moved in with us while waiting for their new apartment in a senior living community to be ready they moved to my sister s house last week as my dh went into the hospital for his 4th total joint replacement his 2nd shoulder my plate has been rather full and my blogging has been neglected it in the midst of all this plus working i have been somewhat productive in my sewing room my big new concerns a quilt i made in early summer this is a pattern from kim brackett s latest book called wildflowers i found out about a quilt contest to benefit als you make a quilt and sent it in by july 31st so i decided to do that and use some fabrics i had been collecting for several years kim s pattern is well written of course but it s rather challenging as it has a lot of pieces hand appliquéd centers and very fussy piecing below are some progress pictures i posted on instagram over the summer what i found out yesterday is that out of over 1100 quilts submitted for the als quilt challenge mine was selected as one of 12 finalists i am so humbled by this there will be online voting on their website www hopesanddreams quiltersdreambatting com for any of you that would like to vote for my quilt i would be grateful the quilt will be given to someone who has als thanks for reading this

this and that the weeks are flying by and i ve been working on things i can t fully share yet but i will soon this is one that i can show it the pattern from kim brackett s new book scrap basket strips and squares this has been so much fun to make but now it s time to sew all these hexies together one seam at a time i played with the blocks on my design wall until i was happy with the layout i can tell you that sewing all the little seams together hasn t been my favorite part but i think i m a third of the way there i ve also been working on a new tumbler quilt imagine that this will make six tumblers this is the only peek i can show it will be gifted soon the colors requested were gray neutral with a pop of pink it s kind of modern for me but it s turning out so cute i ve also finished the very wild and lively strip quilt using the pattern lime twist by diane knott it s for my dd and she wanted gray aqua pink and red i m almost done with this one too and then it will be gifted i took a break this afternoon from sewing rows and pulled fabric for a little quilt it s from kim s first book i guarantee that it will look totally when the blocks are done it s one of my favorite patterns happy stitching karen posted by karen at 7 49 pm 4 comments labels scrap basket strips and strings string quilt tumbler older posts home subscribe to comments atom about me karen
