RSC2025-October wk. 2

YOUR BLOG NAME

Over last weekend, I did hand-quilting & binding on the October banner. So it’s done on display! I may start on the December banner soon. We’ll see. Note: this is straighter in real life than it looks in the photo. Whew!

As I’ve said before, sometimes you have to do tasks to move projects along. My Ocean Waves L&E project had many HSTs sewn & in a pile, but I needed to use them in blocks. So I spent a couple hours trimming, pressing, & sorting them into color piles. Now they are ready to sew into more blocks. Although I don’t seem to have much green, so need to dig into scrap piles to make more HSTs. Sigh.

I had two of these basket exterior panels made at the end of last week & now I have all twelve made. They will be the Christmas gifts for my Monday quilt group. I need to quilt them, sew them into baskets, & add the binding. Hopefully, next week’s post will have a photo of a couple finished!

Hand binding is continuing in the evenings on some donation quilts, so I’ll do a photo when all four are done. I’m on the fourth now.

RSC2025-October begins

This row quilt was made several years ago as the third or fourth quilt to try & use up the Woodland creatures fabric. I collected it at my first Shop Hop when I thought you needed tons of fabric to make a quilt. LOL So it hung around forever. I finally sewed the last of it, got it quilted with cute lizards, & let it hang out in my closet for years & a move before finally pulling it out & getting the binding on. Hooray for getting another quilt done & ready for donation. This also goes nicely with the monthly colors of brown & black.

This week’s sewing focused on piecing the small banner for October. It’s ready for hand-quilting & binding. I also got three Color Block Stars ready for the new block drive at Many Hands and Many Hearts. And finally, I got the second of my twelve gift baskets ready for quilting. These need to be a priority this month as Christmas is just around the corner!

RSC2025-Sept wk. 4-rainbow Halloween

September 27, 2025 by Sue 4 Comments

YOUR BLOG NAME

This is my sewing for the week: I finished the Haunted House, got all blocks squared up & sewed into the top, & taken to the quilter. So happy to have my rainbow Halloween done. It was a BOM called Frightful Fun! & my hubby gave me fabric & the subscription to the BOM for Christmas. The last blocks dropped in Sept & I got it done. It will be quilted just before we leave for vacation so it will be displayed next year because I probably won’t get the binding on until the beginning of November. But it’s done & the goal of improving my FPP skills is accomplished. My blocks got better as I went & I feel like I could tackle just about any project now.

Back to my regularly scheduled sewing now.

RSC2025-Sept wk. 3-Haunted House

My sewing this week has been all foundation paper piecing on the large Haunted House. As you can see, I didn’t get it done as hoped, but the tower will get added next & the pieces sewed together. Then I can start squaring up blocks & sewing the top together. This Frightful Fun! BOM has been really great & I’ve gotten much better at FPP, which was the goal.

There’s blue & green in this rainbow house so I’m totally in sync with y’all! Happy sewing!
