Yep, 2 blocks. These are lotto blocks for the fall retreat. Well, I did do 1 Dresden Plate but I forgot to take a photo.
Oh, and this little block for Fran of the FCQ Equilters. I wanted to give it a try.
There are more of these to come. I went through my squares that I've cut up and have chosen many to make more of these. They could be like chips, you can't eat make just one.
Pat and I moved the cutting table into the studio along with some other furniture. Actually, by Friday, everything has been moved in with the exception of a couple of boxes I'm holding off bringing in as I have a ton of stuff to put away.
Sharon was visiting and helping me organize the studio which is what we did most of the weekend. She also got this top done.
Here I am sewing at one of the three sewing stations I will have when everything is set up. I'm on the Featherweight. Sharon was using Bubbles, the Bernina.
Ruthie is up and I even started a quilt on her. There is a box labeled "Tops" that I took a look at. Hum, it contained several tops but one had the backing and the binding with it. I put it on so I could give Ruthie a try. She's working really well. Until, a thread broke. I think I must have stitched over the line just the wrong way. I'll get back to this quilt this week.
OOOH.... everything is checked off on my goals list!
