I finished the Green house from The Fabulous House series by Cottage Garden Samplings yesterday. Started it on 2/27/24, so about three weeks to stitch. These houses are about 120 stitches wide and long, on the 20 count Aida they measure about six inches square. This house wasn’t as densely stitched as the other two I have done, but I feel like it took as long to stitch due to all the counting. I did have to un-stitch a few times, and if you notice, the cat isn’t centered. I figure no cat would ever sit where it is put, so mine is a typical cat.

On the piecing front, Morning Glory was stalled a bit when I realized I only had half of the green and white sub-blocks made. I have been sewing the 47 more I need to finish this top assembly. I de-papered them yesterday, and after some pressing today, I will have the blocks complete. Hopefully Saturday will be a day for sewing the top together. The clamshell quilt took a back seat to the Morning Glory, as I needed to cut a bunch more greens and neutrals. Needless to say, the sewing studio is a wreak. I also want to get the binding done on the Almost Yellow Brick road quilt.

I am trying to decide what my next quilt project will be. After finishing the giant Swordfish, I sort of want to start the Jacqueline DeJonge quilt kit I have. Lots of paper foundation piecing, and curves with a rainbow of colors. I do have a few smaller kits in my stash, I “found” a few while searching for more neutral scraps for the Morning Glory quilt. I also want to get a quilt on the LA frame, maybe it is time for the quilt top that I put together at the 2018 Alsilomar retreat . This is also the quilt that spawned the scraps for the Moondance revival and the clamshell quilts. This photo was taken before I added the setting triangles.

Off To sew some green and white squares.
