Good Morning Quilters!
Yesterday the teams were announced for the NCAA Basketball Tournament know as “March Madness”. I am working on a red work project during my basketball watching month. While I watched the Big 10 tournament this last week, one block was completed and another one partially completed.
The quilt will be made of Christmas alphabet blocks, and here is the letter C is for Candy Canes block:
Partial completion on the letter H for Holly Berries block:
My design wall continues to be empty. But I will show you the last quilt that was on it. I am helping my friend Claire’s granddaughter, Sammy, with her first attempt at a quilt. Here is Sammy and her quilt start on my design wall at our last meeting:
She cut off-white sashing pieces, and is at home sewing the quilt top together. She is practicing her 1/4 inch seam sewing skills. She hopes to visit me next week with a completed quilt top.
What is on your design wall? Join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and show us what you are working on. Great participation last week; thank you all so much.
Your Redwork Christmas Alphabet id coming along so nicely--this will be such a pretty piece...nice work...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYour red work blocks turned out beautifully, you picked a fun background fabric for those. Good luck to Sammy with her quilt assembly project. Looks like she's off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is so neat! I love the look of hand embroidery, but not the execution! LOL.
ReplyDeleteSammy's quilt looks great. It's nice she has someone to help her. I'm always happy to see another young quilter join our ranks. Our college joined the Big 10 this year - Southern Cal. They don't have much of a basketball team - at least not the men's team. But wow! for the girl's team. I really like your embroidery. You'll probably finish them before March Madness is over!
ReplyDeleteYour Embroidery is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are teaching Sammy to quilt! She looks so happy. Your redwork embroidery is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGo, Sammy!!! What a cute quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see your student making such awesome progress on her quilt. I'll be watching a lot of NCAA women's basketball of course. Our Jackrabbits are #10 in their bracket and drew OK State. If they pull off a win they'll hit UConn next. Yikes!!
