March Challenge report

 March was a busy and productive month.

The 3 challenges were:

1.  Use white scraps and make blocks....done....and sold.


2.  Piecing red, white and black blocks...made 80...done. They are on eBay





3.  Embroidered mushroom, snail and flower blocks...made 42...done and sold.









Other things accomplished in March...

..Quilted a heart quilt for my sis

and a stars quilt for her, too.


I made the Sweet Pea house block for March


And embroidered and quilted the April and May snowman wall hangings for the studio. 




I had these snowman faces half fused....and got the other half fused. They are now on eBay. They are all different. 



The new sweater block for Bona Lisa came out, and I got that appliqued.


I made a quilt from some Dear Jane blocks that my sister made. She rejected them for her quilt, so I rescued them. haha



Another half done project is now complete. It uses 16 patch, 9 patch and rail fence blocks. Now it just needs to be quilted.


I got a few more blocks made for the pantry quilt.

dog bones...


garlic...


tomatoes



April challenges are now started.... they are...

1.  Make blocks with red selvages. These are actually done...and sold.  I started a couple days early. haha  I actually made mostly red, then added pink, orange and yellow blocks. Put them on eBay as warm color selvage blocks. They were sold in hours. Made 120 blocks.


1a.. Since I already finished the red selvage blocks, I pulled the next one for May....blue selvages.  I am working on those now.

2.  Embroidery....to finish all the monthly snowman wall hangings for the studio.  I am done through May, so 7 more to do.

3.  Piecing.  I'm making a tamale bag quilt.  We eat tamales that come in cloth bags. I have been saving the bags and now have 30 of them. It's time to make a quilt. For the past 3 days I have been taking the bags apart. It's a chore. It's a thin muslin, so I have to be careful not to cut the bag when taking the seams apart. But, I have a plan.  I have about 8 more bags to take apart first.  Then fuse a thin interfacing on the back of them. 

That's all I got. Told you it was a busy month.
