Weekend Check In

So here we are, 10 pm on Sunday night.

Seriously, where did my time go??

 

Because of working 12 hour shifts, I actually had a four day weekend.

So during nap time, I rocked out in my sewing room.

 

I finished my February Globetrotting Block of the month, "Venice":

Love the 'Me and My Sister' black and white print in the center:

 

I also put in quite a bit of work on my honey's Civil war Quilt:

I actually put in some serious work on this bad boy.

I finished attaching my square in a square blocks.

Made the 2 inch square borders and added the 1 inch borders.

 

Only four more borders to go...

 

But between the 8 star blocks and the 48 flying geese, I have ALOT of piecing left to do.

So it will remain my work in progress.

 

The sun was shining so brightly here in South East Michigan this weekend, so I took the lighting opportunity and grabbed a few shots of some quilts you have not seen yet.

 

-These were my finishes late last summer-

 

First off, my cop-out Riley Blake block of the month quilt:

(I copped out after the April block)

 

But I totally adore the monochromatic-ness of it.

And, you can barely see it in the pics, but the fabric has sparkles as well... LOVE.

 

And my orphan block quilt:

 

This quilt actually contains orphan blocks from myself, my mom and my aunt.

 

I always think of a farm when I look at this quilt.

You have the split rail fence, the houses, barns, geese, pond, stream, silo, windmill, furrows...

 

You see all that, right??

 

Everyone enjoy your evening!
