Hello friends, I'm watching the Monaco GP with hubby, and tapping away on the computer, so decided to pop in a quick blog post while I can. Since I finished Lily Rosenberry, I've been dabbling with a few different projects at leisure and will share a couple of bits and pieces with you now.
First up, I finished another block toward the Morrell quilt:
Lots of applique and reverse applique in this one. The little arrow shapes are a treasured fabric from deep stash and I only have the tiniest piece left. How I wish I could turn back time and find more of it!
And because the quilting stand looked so lonely in the sewing room, I've put the white wholecloth back in it, and even put a few stitches in here and there.
I used to think that this wholecloth would be gifted to Amy on the occasion of her wedding, but given that she recently had her sixth wedding anniversary, it's no secret how that went. To be honest I don't think it's something she'd use, so I don't need to rush to finish it.
And here's a little project I finished on Friday evening - a decoration put on hold while I made every effort to finish Lily Rosenberry:
I really do love the felt ornaments from mmmCrafts, I am getting ready to make some more very soon.
And the last project for today - a little lost applique piece I found while working on a big clean up in the sewing room:
I'll make a few blocks and turn this little piece into something nice. I don't remember what I had in mind for the applique strip, but it's too pretty to put it aside again.
Last of all for today - I saw some darling fabric on someone's socials, and was determined to make some mine. It's a pretty Jane Austen print:
I have a decent chunk of it now, and will find a lovely project for it sometime ...
That's it from me - thank you for sticking with me, and chatter soon! xox

First off your quilt stitches are perfect. The whole cloth top is beautiful. Too funny on the 6th anniversary. In the past years I've learned NOT to promise anything. I seem to be all over the place. Ha. Ha.
The Morrell block is outstanding. You are going to have any heirloom top. How many blocks do you have made now?Where exactly is the reverse applique, I can't tell on my screen.
The ornament is lovely and the fabric is a treasure for sure.
It is so wonderful seeing another post from you. Enjoy your day.
It's always a strange feeling when you complete a long term project. I usually find I am a little lost. There are lots of things to do, but it is difficult to settle on just one. LOL You wee star ornament is beautiful.
Your applique project is just beautiful! Isn't it amazing how we tuck things away and forget about them? Oh, and I do love your Jane Austen fabric. Do you have a favorite place to look for applique patterns or do you design your own? I have been itching to start something new (go figure) but am not sure where to look!
