My Quiltathon Weekend~

Even though I feel like I accomplished a lot~ it doesn't look like much. LOL Oh well, the sewing was fun!

First I got my 3 blocks together for 'Piece & Goodwill' (Nov/Dec issue of Quiltmaker magazine) that Shannon and I are working on. It was a lot harder than I thought because you need 8 light greens/block! :-o And for some reason, my stash is very light on light greens. :-) A few friends have volunteered to help me out with some scraps, so I will work more on these next month. ;-)

Then I moved to my Fig Tree Club 'Cobble Stones' kit. I decided I wanted to save all those little HST's on the corners, so it is taking me 3 times longer than it would if I would just follow the directions. :-) I'm sewing extra seams, so when I cut them off, I'll have lots of fun little HST's. :-) I'm thinking a mini in the making. :-) But it is slow-going right now. Last night I drew lines to follow thinking that might speed up sewing on them. ;-) I'll let you know how it goes. :-)

Now hop over to Judy L's little Mr Linky and be inspired by the works of quilters all over blogland! :-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

I admire that you are taking time to make those extra half square triangles. I can't get motivated to do that.

Looks like a productive sewing time. And the blocks look great! For me - the red goes from down left to upper right - perfect!!!

The blocks are gorgeous and the cobblestone is a beautiful pattern. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
