A Celebration Sew Day

Image
Saturday June 16th is a celebration of the 8th year of the local chapter of Quilts for Kids Lincoln.   We have a small group that meets at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum on the 3rd Saturday of each month. It is a lovely location open to the public that visit the quilt house.  I am doing a short demo on the tutorial by  Cluck Cluck Sew  on Easy stack cut and sew blocks. The above piece is a sample I made up for a boy quilt. Those are sometimes hard to come by.  Organic wavy line quilting goes fast and easy. Quilts for kids label...check! pieced back with a few left over strips. Sadly it was super hot out and I have a hurt foot so I didn't go scouting for a good photo area. I stuck to the shade in the front yard.  eh.. So to get ready for the demo and sew day I took to my stash pile and decided to cut out squares for a variety of blocks. I think this tutorial will work well as a scrap quilt so any...

Jan One monthly goal

In the spirit of not putting too much pressure on myself I decided to join  One monthly goal  at Elm Street Quilts. Basically you pick one thing to finish this month and blog about it and link to party. Then at the end of the month you link your finished blog post. One item. That works for me.  I am going to start with a simple project I started in Nov at my lqg sew day.  We brought some orphan blocks and we sewed and cut and sewed and cut and made something else. I think this is pretty fun so I am going to run with it.
