I have been busily working on the Tree House of the fabulous house series. It is taking forever, and the pressure to finish it is that the next house pattern will be here soon, maybe even today. I need to rip out a few stitches, as I miss counted with the roof tiles. The next house is a barn, it looks pretty dense also.

I made some headway on the memory quilt, I got 36, ten inch blocks done. Some are just plain, but they are colorful. I ordered the minky backing, happily I found it on sale at Missouri Star Quilt co. It should be here next week. I was thinking of doing appliqué letters with the minky. The client wanted UCSB on it, I will experiment with some scraps first. I may just end up making a gold stripe through the navy minky and call it done.

Just to keep myself from starting something new, I pulled out an UFO. This was a kit I got from Craftsy, called Punch Bowl, and I wanted to use the Creative Grids ruler for it. However, I think I made the “A” blocks and then made one “B” block to find that they weren’t the same size. Meaning that they didn’t fit together like the pattern. I sewed all the A’s together, but didn’t like how it looked and put it all in a basket for time out. Time in started yesterday, I pulled it all out and tried to make sense of it all (Note To Self “TAKE NOTES”). I took all the block A’s apart and decided to make as many block B’s as I could. My new block B is the same size as the A, and the layout is a bit different than the original pattern. I think I have enough fabric to make 36 blocks total. The original pattern was for a 90 inch square quilt, mine will be 60 inches square.

Still knitting the Good Morning blanket, and I didn’t get to longarm quilt this week. I did set up the two Wecker fabric quilts though. I just need to cut some batting and que up the machine. This past week I also posted a bunch of new quilts to the store. I haven’t gotten to posting any in the new Go Imagine store yet. I’m putting off learning the ins and outs of that chore for a bit more.

Be Kind.
