The cat's cradle blocks are assembled.
Justification for a ginormous stash: this floral print and the backing fabric (not shown), both just right.
None of these are the Old Town mystery, obviously. That box is sitting on the counter.
Meanwhile I have several non-quilting tasks with deadlines that I have to tackle this week.
It's probably very cold where you are. It is certainly frigid here today. Tomorrow will be colder yet and then the temperatures will rise. I'm grateful we can stay inside.
Linking up with Oh Scrap! Design Wall Monday Sew and Tell Thanks for the shout out this week, Melva.
when i moved to maryland someone told me the weather is good most of the time save 2 weeks in the summer when it's unbearable and again for about 2 weeks in the winter, same thing...so this is definitely one of the unbearables...another month tho and we will see signs of spring so she was right, it's brief. nice quilt top...
ReplyDeleteYea for the finish quilt top and having both the borders and a backing in your stash. I was happy to see all the cards Stevens received. I'm sure it was fun to open the mail each day.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here too - but supposed to warm up by Thursday. Sadly we have to go out this morning and I'm definitely not looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteYou made very good use of all of those bits and bobs! Having a large stash is nice, but how do you find everything? That's my challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe opposite of that is I never have yardage for fir borders or backings, and that slows down the finishes. Your floral border is perfect for the cat's cradle colors! Your placemat project looks like it is well on its way! Have a great week, Nann!
ReplyDeleteCats Cradle is lovely--a beautiful reason to have a deep stash;)))
ReplyDeleteYour table mats are so pretty...nice works
And yes, it is pretty cold here;17 this morning with 11 windchill, but the sun has appeared and the wind died down, so not too bad now...hugs, Julierose
That was a perfect border fabric. I rarely set goals, but maybe this year I should set a goal of finishing all table topper pieces: table runners, placemats, centerpiece mats, and mug rugs. I have lots of them started.
ReplyDeleteCute placemats, Nann! Who are you making 52 placemats for this year?
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Stevens! Looks like everyone had a great weekend. All those cards! Beautiful quilt top, the border fits perfect. Pretty scrappy placemats too. Very hot and humid here, the peak of summer. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThose placemats are so colorful and cheerful -- do you have a plan for where they will go when you hit your goal? Mine went to a local guild (not a member there) that was collecting for Meals on Wheels. Anyone who uses one of your beauties will have a happier mealtime!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your placemats. Wouldn't it be fun to make a whole bunch of placemats and then later decide they should be made into potholder style quilts?
