Then I stitched all six block together:
I can hardly wait to see what the last three blocks will look like! I have to wait until the 5th of July for the next block though.
Next, I started piecing another quilt top that I had cut out earlier. It is from the book "Fresh Off the Farm" by Kelly Mueller. It is the one I won along with a bundle of fat quarters of her Fresh Off the Farm fabric line a while back. It is in four different sections at the moment. It has some really cute farm animals to applique. So far I have all the pieces drawn onto the Heat n Bond but have not started cutting them out yet. I probably will not work on it again until after we get back from our trip to visit the new grand baby.
And finally, I made a cushion for my sewing chair. Since I got my new machine, my chair is a bit low, I needed a booster chair! A few weeks ago my DH decided to get a foam mattress to put in the truck bed for when he goes hunting. We had to cut a section out of each side for the wheel wells in the truck. That left me with two sections of the 7" foam to play with. Well, today I measured my chair seat and designed a cushion. No pictures yet, I still want to make a pretty cover for it. When the foam compresses when I sit down it boosts me up to where I can look down on the needle a bit instead of being even with it. I think it is going to work, at least I hope so. I'll let you know when I've had a chance to sit on it for a while.
I'm still working on hand quilting my winter quilt. It is over half way finished! Yay, cause I've got more hand quilting coming soon.
That's been my weekend, along with a couple of loads of laundry, a little shopping, and watering my flowers and tomatoes.
Now, I think it is time to relax a bit!
Your Henrietta Whiskers blocks are so-o-o-o-o cute! I should have gotten in on those in honor of Mrs. Bushee! The chair cushion sounds great and will probably give you a boost! (No pun intended! *grin*) ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteLove your Henrietta blocks! You did well. Using up leftover foam for a cushion? A woman after my own heart. I hate throwing out perfectly usable materials. Make sure you show us what it looks like!
