You know those days when you just want to sew and can't put your finger on what? Sunday was that for me. First off we had our Covid/flu shots, DH on Thursday and me on Friday. He got hit harder than me in the reaction stage. He spent all day Friday in Bed and still a lot of Saturday. I took a couple naps and just plan felt unenergized all weekend. But I felt like Sunday I wanted to sew. I dug out a previously cut one from last year and started sewing it. All cut using the 12" Accuquilt cube signature block on blue prints. I might work on it a bit more later this week.
Monday I was in the mood to start Valentine hearts for a runner. These are paper pieced. I sew beside the paper so I don't have to waste paper nor tear it off! Before long I had 5 blocks done. A few years ago I bought this pattern from Piece By Number Quilts on Etsy but it now says they are no longer selling at Etsy.
By the end of Monday I had it all pieced. Tuesday I quilted it and bound it.
In the evenings I wanted something to keep my hands busy while watching TV. So I figured I could get this witch hat done before Halloween. Almost there! It's all felt. The pattern is from PastThymeQuilts. It was tricky getting the wording transferred to black felt! I ended up mostly free handing it with a white pencil after checking each letter on the pattern and trying to print like that. I think it is meant to hang on the wall. It needed a bit of stiffness to it so I put fusible interfacing on it cut a bit smaller so it wouldn't show at the edge. The edge is all blanket stitching by hand.
That's been my week so far. How is yours going, I would love to hear!
