quilting in a polar bear garden quilting in a polar bear garden sunday march 30 2025 some of this and some of that everyone on their blogs have been posting photos of all the pretty spring things outside i thought i would go outside and see what i could find moose tracks they walk through the yard frequently but now that we do not have dogs to alert us we usually miss them and just find their tracks it has still been cold so it seemed like a good day to make a pot of beef stew i have homemade rolls in the freezer to go with it also because it is still so cold we ordered a load of wood two cord which we will be working on to get in the basement i have decided on my next hand quilting project the blue freedom s friends batting is ordered and i will get it basted as soon as it arrives i already had this backing fabric i think it will work okay my first block for barbara brackman s sew along liberty s birds is prepped but then i was not sure about the background fabric i order a different one and will decide which one to use when it gets here my quilting plans for the next few years include applique quilts for each of my children my daughter s will be a twin size while for both of my sons and their wives will be king sized needless to say i had to do some pattern adjusting for the king sized quilts but i did get the first block for my son k s quilt prepped i will be stitching on this block for my slow stitching i am linking up with kathy and the other slow stitchers here i will be writing more details about these quilting plans in another post that is all for today i hope you have wonderful plans for your weekend rebecca at march 30 2025 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday march 16 2025 almost a finish i have certainly been enjoying everyone s photos of the spring flowers that they have been posting daffodils crocus tulips and etc no flowers here for awhile it got down to zero last night and warmed up to about 20 everything is still covered in snow we store our winter s wood in the basement with the wood stove and we are getting low what we have will probably last a couple of weeks not to worry we still have plenty outside it just means a new chore of bring in wood every few days we will keep the woodstove going through april and part of may then things will be warming up now onto springtime quilting news springtime album is a quilt i have been working on for years it started as a sew along and i am not sure what happen to the other participants i lost track the pattern is from a booklet by jeana kimball old voices new impressions if you were a participant in the sew along i would love to hear from you and see your quilt all i have left to do is sew down the binding which will be my slow stitching for this sunday i will link up with kathy and the other slow stitchers here as soon as i can the quilt finishes at 56 x 56 the blocks are 7 1 2 x 7 1 2 and the borders are 5 1 2 wide it is hand quilted which took me forever even though i love to hand quilt i am so glad to have this quilt all most completed i tried to get a photo of the quilting booklet the pattern is from so now i want to start my next hand quilting project but not sure which applique top i should choose as i was looking through my photos i realized all of these tops were made doing quilt alongs with barbara brackman of civil war quilts blog spot here i think you can still find the free patterns for these quilt alongs on her blog if you type in the name of the quilt into the search bar or you can purchase them from her etsy shop here first up is ladies aid new york sampler 2022 sew along next is cassandra s circle 2020 sew along then two versions of freedom s friends 2022 2023 sew along then herbarium 2023 2024 sew along she had a sew along in 2024 called kentucky classic which i did not participant in and a new one this year called liberty s birds which i may do she also has a a sew along each year for pieced quilts but i don t do those so i need to choose one and get batting and backing for it so i can get started i am leaning towards the blue freedom s friends or cassandra s circle i had fun making all of these applique is my favorite thanks for reading i know it was a long post until next time happy quilting rebecca at march 16 2025 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to
