Week ending December 3, 2023

I'm really happy with what I was able to get done in my sewing room  this week. I finished a throw sized Karnak Quilt - Pattern by Tessellate Textiles. I had all my columns pieced last week and I just had to sew them together this week. I need to decide on a backing and get this one quilted.

I finished sewing all my scrappy HSTs for a pattern I tested for Rachelle Handmade. 

I got my binding  cut and prepared for this quilt I made for the FreeSpirit Fabrics Influencer tour. 

Here are the scrappy blocks I made with all those HSTs. 

During the Black Friday sales, I bought  some charm packs and label pieces from Mami Wata for my Black History Month Quilt for 2024. I found a pattern I liked that takes 5" charms and had some solid black charms that I could use with them for a quick but beautiful quilt. I'm hoping that I can find the time to make at least 2 quilts to auction in  February.

I received fabric from Minerva. The floral print is a cotton lawn by Dashwood Studios. The green is a sheeting that I will use for a quilt backing.

I finally made the Minerva Victoria Blouse and used this plaid also from Minerva.

On Sunday I finished making a blouse using the  Dashwood Studios Cotton Lawn.  Modeled photos of both will be done when  I am no longer wearing a boot on my foot. 

I ended my Sunday playing with fabrics to make a few quilt blocks. This  one is not sewn together yet and just sitting on my design wall. This pattern is called the Friendship Star. I thought it would be fun to  fussy cut this Tula Pink fabric. 

This week I'm hoping to be able to lose the walking boot and get some things photographed that I have finished recently. I also want to get my FreeSpirit Quilt bound so it is finished and I can find a fun location to take photos. I'll be revealing the finished project in January. Then, I'm hoping to go through my WIPs (works in progress) and see if I can get any finished before my next surgery on December 15th.
