Fire Island Hosta Workshop

On Sunday we had Elizabeth Chadwick in store for part 2 of our Fire Island Hosta Quilt. It was a busy day there was a lot to get through, so we can continue on our own and finish our quilts. Some parts are more challenging than others but with Elizabeth's guidance we are making good progress on our quilts.


Some progress pictures on the quilts. They are all going to be stunning when we finish them.




I will keep you all updated on our progress, well at least my progress.
Until Next Time

2018 - 350 Block Report - November



4 leaves for my Fire Island Hosta quilt and there is 8 half blocks completed (not counted here)

2 more Table runners completed as 1 block each I know the second one isn't finished in this picture but my tablet has died with the completed picture. So just take my word on this one.

1 block completed for my mum's quilt

9 flower blocks for a cushion

1 more spiral table runner.


I did make 288 HST but they belong in the above scrappy blocks that still need to be made. So they can't be counted yet. Plus I did sew the 12 background blocks for my Folk Flower Quilt now I need to do the reverse applique to complete. So hopefully there will be a flood of finished block one month soon.

Also I have been doing lots of ruler work quilting, hence the lack of block production.

This month's total is 17.

Until Next Time

December's One Monthly Goal

OMG December link-up is open!

We have reached the last month of 2018 and it is time to set our last goal for the year. What to choose? There is plenty I have to do but I would like a big finish for the year. Something that has been hanging around too long. With that said, it is December and how much time will I really have to work on a big finish.
In the end I decided on this pair of table runners for my sister as her Christmas present.
They are well underway, so I should be able to complete them if not my sister may get an IOU for Christmas.


Pop over and check out what everyone is working on during December at Elm Street Quilts. I know I will be.
Until Next Time
