I have been stitching. I finished the binding on the board game quilt. Sorry for the lousy photos. I just kept adding layers onto my design wall.

I stitched the hanging sleeve on the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings quilt. I also made labels and stitched them onto all of the quilts for the quilt show, along with all of the pillowcases that the quilts have to be in when we drop them off. Woohoo! All the quilts are ready for the quilt show.
I stitched a set of blocks for one of my Treadle On Block Exchanges. I kitted up 3 more sets that I'll stitch on some of my vintage machines at the quilt show next weekend. I also prepped blocks for another block exchange with Treadle On. These are the blocks I finished. They are made with 1930's reproduction fabrics, and it's the Monkey Wrench block.

Earlier this week I finished another 10 blocks of the striped circle blocks. I now have 32 blocks finished. Sorry, but my design wall is full at the moment, so you just get to see the blocks stacked.

Today I stitched the pieces together for another baby quilt. This is like the one I made in February but in pinks instead of blues.

I have 2 more baby quilts to make by early May. I also have to quilt all 4 baby quilts. March and April will be busy.
If you will be in the Western Chicago suburbs next weekend, please come to my guild's quilt show. I'll have a booth with 14 of my vintage sewing machines at the show. Pride of the Prairie's quilt show will have over 300 quilts. We also have 'Strip Search' (our fabric booth), at least 50 raffle baskets, a raffle quilt, bake sale, magazines, patterns & books and a silent auction. We'll also have VENDORS. We'll be at Richland Grade School, 1919 Caton Farm Road, Crest Hill, Illinois.
So much going on here! The Game Board piece is so unique and good luck at the show.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have had a bout of illness. It doesn't sound like a good start to 2020. Hope you get your energy back soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better, the energy will come back slowly. Boy you have some awesome projects going.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend, but take it easy & don't relapse! I've done a checker board, but love your game board. I'm not near Chicago, but best wishes for a great quilt show.
