Just noticed it's been longer than I thought since I've posted. Time sure flies when you're busy, doesn't it? Wish I could say it's because I was so absorbed in sewing but I can't complain. Some of my time has been with various quilt clubs so that's good.
Earlier this week I remembered all about the pineapple quilt I've been working on. I started it last year with RSC and was half finished by the end of 2023. I quickly whipped out my red bin and got to work. Actually finished in them on the 29th -- Yay! for Leap Year! These were, in fact, finished in February. (I just saw that March's color is PURPLE!)
Last night was Friday Night with Friends. Earlier in the day at various appointments with Mom, I got a good start on one of the embroideries for Red Thread. These are so nice and portable, just what I need.
After dinner I settled in behind the cutting table and sewing machine and got a good start on February's first of 2 blocks for the Vintage Christmas SAL at my LQS. I'm making the 12" blocks and will need 25 to make a large quilt so 2 per month with an extra thrown in somewhere ought to do it. I've decided not to use Lori Holt fabric. I'm pretty sure I've got enough scraps to get this done. *wink*
Please hop on over to the links below to see what the other makers have been working on. There's a lot of fabulous projects underway! Have a great weekend!

Can’t wait to see all of your pineapples together! Great to have hand stitching to do while you wait. Fun sew along too. Maybe it will be done in time for Christmas. Gail at the Cozy quilter

ReplyDeleteAlways love your pineapples....and such a good idea to use what you have...It's handy to have hand sewing ready to go for such trips....looking forward to seeing more of your embroidery project.
ReplyDeletePretty red pineapples. Nice to have some portable work when sitting around waiting for appointments.
ReplyDeleteGood to see some more pineapples Susie. Pretty embroidery and Christmas star. Enjoy some purple. xx
ReplyDeleteThe scrappy Christmas quilt looks good - can't beat a star block of any kind. But of course I'm still loving those curved pineapples.
ReplyDeleteHappy March, Susie. You do have some fabulous projects in the works. I am fascinated by the pineapples. They are gorgeous in red. Wishing a a wonderful week of quilting and stitching. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of your pineapple blocks. So glad you pulled that out of the WIP bin. They make me smile.
