I had a very productive weekend at the guild retreat last weekend. It was glorious to have three full days to sew--meals provided and no dishes to do! I added binding to two quilts that are gifts so I can't show those yet, but they are both hand stitched now and ready to gift. I quilted the table runner I showed last week that will be for sale at our church bazaar next weekend and added the binding this week when I got home. I hope someone will like it enough to purchase it! I also worked on three pillows for the bazaar but forgot to take a picture. I will do that for next week.
I also finished off the last of my 12 placemats for Meals on Wheels. Our guild is collecting them and they will be presented to a representative from MOW at our next meeting.
And here are all twelve:
I made the scrappy square blocks a couple of years ago for one of my rainbow scrap challenge projects and then turned them into churn dash blocks a few months ago. At the retreat, I added sashing, cornerstones and borders and it is now a quilt top, ready to be quilted. I made blocks for three baby quilts at the retreat as well but can't show them here yet.
My Winter Woods cross stitch now has some mushrooms in the woods--more trees and another mushroom still to add.
My daughter is making good progress on her Crochet-a-long Christmas blanket. She is on step two of six. Finn was oblivious to modelling the sections she worked on this week.
The lavender in my garden is still blooming despite having several hard frosts.
The fothergilla bush in the backyard is putting on a show right now too.
I was happy to see that my butterfly weed has decided to plant a few seeds in my garden. It is one of my favourite plants with its bright orange flowers.
You know Finn and his love of sunbeams!
I will link up with Kathy and the slow Sunday stitchers, Frederique and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge folks too.
