So here we are working on projects, trying to stay focused on getting some of our "Projects Half Done" to the finish line. I decided to set my mind on working on project #11 A Very Merry Christmas SAL. This was a weekly stitch-a-long and I had already done the embroidery blocks and 10 tiny dresdens.

These are a few pictures I found from earlier posts showing progress. I think this was started Fall 2018. Not too terribly long ago but I want to get it done. Here are some pictures of what I've accomplished so far.

Another project I'm working on is Afternoon Delight which I just started. It's the 2020 Block of the Month from The Quilt Show, designed by the late Sue Garmen. It's going to be a beauty and I hope to have it done by the end of the year. I believe the month of December has been dedicated to assembly so this shouldn't be an impossible dream. This month's blocks include 4 applique and 2 modified Shoo Fly blocks.
I've chosen to needle-turn my applique blocks. I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew. Of course it would go faster if I didn't cut through my block after getting it halfway sewn.
Do you see that erroneous clip right through the marked line at the top of the picture? Time for a do-over! Ugh!
I'm going on retreat this coming 4-day weekend so I hope to make a lot of progress on these projects & more! Haha! Wish me luck!
It helps to get things done IF you sew along with others doesn't it...xox

Those little dresdens are just the cutest! The appliqué project is ambitious. I love appliqué, but it never goes as fast as I think it will. Way to go on your progress.
ReplyDeleteAll those little dresdens. Christmas may be over, but I'm enjoying your progress.
ReplyDeleteYou'd made good progress as of mid-month, hopefully you've made even more in the last week. Hope the retreat helped you get ahead.
