Block 3 Seven Sister

Well the 3rd block for the CW Anniversary quilt has been released and I did it but I know that I will never make a whole quilt with this block. I'm not a perfectionist so my points on the stars are not pointy. Hope the 4th block will not be appliqued as this is not my favorite.

Not feeling so great

Got the start of a cold yesterday my throat was scratchy and head feeling like a ballon and a runny nose today it's here for sure.
Yesterday the plan was to cut and bag fabric and make a couple Pumpkin/cranberry loafs well that didn't turn out that way----did get all the fabric cut and bagged, will be hard not to make some blocks seeing they are ready to start. but it took me all morning til afternoon doing that so never got the loafs made so this morning after Sadie and I went for a walk I made 4 of them. Then had to snowblow as be got another dump of snow overnight and still snowing. The rest of the day will be layed back.

Large pieced triangles attached to centre

Well attaching these lg pieced triangles sure made this quilt top grow, this will be on point, I have to stop working on this as I need something to work on if I decide to go to the spring retreat. I did cut and bag fabric for the next group of 3 sets of 4 blocks still need 3 more sets and some are sets of 8 blocks.

2nd block for 150 anniversary CW

The second block was released today and it was a quick one to make I'm ready for the next one already, then I played with the pieced triangles for CW Chronicals
Shawn and Deanne left for home this morning seeing it stopped snowing, so it was strip and wash sheets vacumn etc. and get the house back to normal.

150 year anniversary of the Civil War

Finished the 1 st block just in time for the 2nd release tomorrow will enjoy this quilt as I like quilts that have a story or history to them check this site http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/

Plugging away

Working on CW Chronicles quilt got part of the centre attached and made the next 4- 12" blocks, next are 16 pieced triangles and I think I better hold off for awhile as if I decide to go to the retreat in March I need something to work on. I don't have anything else in projects on my list which is strange for me but nothing has got my attention yet though this has happened before and I ended up with 4. Need to start surfing quilter's blogs for ideas.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well I got to play in my sewing room and got 5 blocks done on the CW Chronicals top and cut fabric for the next 4 blocks.
Shawn and Deanne left for Red Deer this morning to see Brandon for a couple of day.
Talked to my bil and my sister who is the quad is in the hospital again with infections, so I was thinking that I might catch a ride with them when they go back home to see Anna then catch a bus home.
