I didn't have the same enthusiasm in quilting that I used to have. But I have joined a quilt club, The Swansea Quilt Club, and it has helped me get over that block. Not only am I quilting and sewing again, but I have too many projects going at once, so I must be cured:) The dining room table is covered in fabric, sewing machines and notions.

I made this scrappy quilt for this year's Hands2Help donation <a href="https://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/">https://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/</a>. I liked using up scraps and just sewing the patches; very relaxing. All it needs is a label and a washing and it goes off.</div>

Massachusetts is now in the grips of the virus, but that means that we'll be on the down side of the curve very soon. I have a feeling that sometime in May the stay at home advice will be lifted but we'll see. Most people I see are wearing masks, but there are still some without. I did grocery shopping this morning and the store was not counting heads going in and out like they did last week. Maybe because it is a rainy day and a Monday. For the most part people are careful and considerate. </div>

I hope we all stay healthy and safe, as well as our families.</div>

Wishing you peace.</div>

The blocks for this quilt were begun in February, so it's nice to have them all sewn together in the same year:} Heirloom Quilting has just finished another qal which I need to get started because it's a fall theme. Then I think I'll be working on Christmas sewing.</div>

I took a beautiful walk today; temps are cool, the leaves are skipping around and it's just a beautiful autumn. Hope it lasts.</div>

I caught up on Jacquelynne Steves qal Happy Little Things. There will be 4 blocks in the quilt, so I'm embroidering images for the four seasons in my center piece. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The summer image is something from Primitive Quilts Fall 2018 issue and is by Deirdre Bond-Abel. I had to free hand draw my image so it's a poor copy of her design, but I like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to get a new laptop and can't get into my other laptop where all of the free downloads for some of the qal's I am in the middle of are filed. I can buy the months I lost but after buying a new laptop, my spending power is a bit weaker. So I might see if I can create similar blocks on my own and see how they come out. I think that would be fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are having the best weather right now, cool and sunny. Hope it lasts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
God Bless!</div>

I'm sewing along with <a href="https://meadowmistdesigns.blogspot.com/">Meadow Mist Designs' Mosaic Mystery QAL</a>. (I love all of the alliteration.) I've had the A, B, C fabrics for a few years now, so it's their time to shine. They are by Felicity Miller for Westminster Fabrics, Moon and Planet. </div>

I am making this quilt for Seana, my sister's youngest GD. The fabric is Frozen which I've had for a year or two and decided I better use it before Seana hits college. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the pattern; it's an Eleanor Burns quilt called Patches of Life. The quilt is now on my sewing machine in the process of being quilted, but I've run into problems so I walked away for a few days and will resume later today. </div>

I almost missed a March finish. I had pulled out my Swoon quilt, which was just a quilt top, with the intention of getting it quilted and finished. But it is just too big, and I really didn't make any headway on it. Then I pulled out this little quilt which only needed the binding. I had made a major mistake when making the waves on this Summer quilt designed by Julie Cefalu, <a href="http://thecraftyquilter.com/">The Crafty Quilter</a>. This is how it looked when I put it together this past summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I fixed the waves by using Applique Patchwork, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which in this case meant sewing over my mistakes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
All better. And the binding is on, so it's all done. Another UFO down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And today's the last day for posting so I really just made it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will I have an April UFO finish? Not looking good right now, but there's always hope.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful month. It's warming up a bit here so that I can work outside most days and get the garden in some kind of shape. I think I just like playing in the dirt.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think I have any more easy UFO's, only big quilts that need borders and some that are just blocks that need to be put together. Since March is a longer month I may choose a challenging project to try to finish. </div>

I'm still in with <a href="http://thecraftyquilter.com/">The Crafty Quilter</a>'s UFO/WIP Challenge. My project this month is this scrap quilt I began in <a href="http://needlethreadhappiness.blogspot.com/2011/04/crazy-scrappy-blocks.html">2011</a> which I'm calling the Cupcake Quilt because that is the common denominator of each block. Aneela Hooey showed the making of these blocks and I joined in because it was so easy and used up scraps. Now that I have the quilt top made I love this quilt.</div>

My first finish for 2019 is this one from 2016. The quilt top was done, but needed to be sandwiched and quilted. </div>

This is my list of unfinished projects that I plan to work on this year. And now I can cross off #3. Maggies' First Dance is a finish. So happy. If Julie of <a href="http://thecraftyquilter.com/2019/01/january-ufo-wip-link-up/">The Crafty Quilter</a> had not set up this community "quilt with a deadline" thing I wouldn't have worked on this quilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the motivation I needed. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm linking up with The Crafty Quilter; an amazing number of UFO's are hitting the dust this month. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
God Bless and have fun!</div>

<a href="http://thecraftyquilter.com/2019/01/2019-ufo-wip-challenge/">The Crafty Quilter</a> has a WIP Challenge this year, beginning this month. The goal is to finish at least one UFO each month. My list has over 13 entries. I knew I had quite a few UFO's, but not as many as I found. Shame on me. Anyway, I'm working on my first one, quilting the Maggie's First Dance quilt that I made about 2 years ago as a <a href="https://jacquelynnesteves.com/">Jacquelynne Steves</a> QAL. It's a pretty quilt and not that big, so I know I will finish it this month.</div>

I was pulling together all of the Christmas panels I have when I came across this one that I completely forgot owning. I don't usually do very much for Halloween but I must have liked this little guy in the pumpkin. It's a Mary Jane Carey for Henry Glass panel from last year, I think. </div>

I got this aster at the same time. It's really a bush with very small flowers; very delicate in appearance but I think it's a hardy plant. I'll mulch it really well when the weather turns colder.</div>

Next I think I'll put together a small Halloween quilt that's a free pattern from <a href="http://fortworthfabricstudio.blogspot.com/">Fort Worth Fabric Studio</a>; it's call Boo to You Mystery QAL. After the uncomfortable summer we've had here I'm ready for autumn anything.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to begin establishing flowers here in my new home this year. I had successes and failures. I learned that unless it's a cactus most flowering plants cannot take full sun all day. Fortunately, I started some of my plants in pots so I could move them to a better location in the yard. At my parent's yard, there were small and large trees and bushes that provided shade at different times of the day. That really is necessary, especially when the temps are very high.</div>

This is a tithonia or Mexican sunflower. I almost pulled it out when it was about 5 feet high and still not flowering. It was just too soon. Fortunately I waited and now it's full of flowers.</div>

Julie of the <a href="https://thecraftyquilter.com/">The Crafty Quilter</a> created this fun and smart quilt as a qal with tips and advice, and I joined in. I couldn't pass up this design; I love butterflies, sunflowers, gentle waves and beach balls. And stars, as well. Julie must love them too because they are all in this quilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is link up day, and I just finished my top. Did I say that the qal was a teaching/learning along? I learned again, for the millionth time, to read the directions carefully. I made my beach balls and pinwheels 4.5" instead of 4.25" and wondered what happened until I went back and read again the directions. </div>

Check out the link up quilts; there are a few but so beautiful. Someone did "Aloha" instead of Summer and it seems to be a nice way of making it her quilt.</div>

Is there anyone out there enjoying this heat wave? </div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I missed you very much and regret that I did not keep up with all of your happenings for the past almost a whole year. I went through a big change in moving from the home where I spent most of my life so far to a little home in the suburbs. I love my new home. Things are still chaotic in some ways in that now that the weather is getting nice I am trying to put my stamp on the yard and gardens. It's fun but tons of work. I'm sure many of you can identify with this and the stress that goes along with it. I haven't done much quilting except for what I am sharing today, and these two quilts are for <a href="http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/p/hands2help-2018.html">Hands 2 Help</a>, the event Sarah Craig at <a href="http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/">Confessions of a Fabric Addict</a> runs each year. I've participated for a few years now and couldn't see missing it this year. The feminine quilt top was already sewn up and only needed the hard part done, that is batting, backing, quilting, binding, etc. I love doing the binding, so that really isn't so difficult.</div>

This is the feminine quilt that is made with Bunny Hill fabric and was photographed on my new front porch. I did not make the pillow; it's a Walmart special but it's sweet because it says "Faith" on it. I've had to have a lot of that lately.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the masculine quilt. Sarah shared this design, and I liked the pattern because it's all scraps. It is very simple and fun to make because anything goes; the background color ties it all together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are probably going to the Happy Chemo organization, as long as they meet the size requirements. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be reading many blogs to catch up with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take care and God Bless You.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm enjoying making the blocks for the Civil War sampler quilt, Rest and Refreshing, that <a href="http://www.piecingthepastquilts.com/">Piecing the Past</a> is offering. These are my blocks so far. The top left block is my second attempt and this one came out perfect. We were told the blocks would get successively difficult, and I'm finding that's true. What I appreciate and like about Piecing the Past's qal is that upfront you have the option of downloading some info on how to have a good outcome when making the blocks. I've signed up for their Summer Picnic qal which will begin in a few weeks. </div>

These are the <a href="http://blog.modafabrics.com/">Moda </a>Block Head blocks that I've made I skipped two blocks. One because after 2 attempts it still had margin quarter inch issues and one because I didn't like the block. I love the applique blocks which surprises me because I usually prefer piecing. The green basket in the second row came out super; I used the dryer sheet lining method which works well for me then hand sewed it to the background. I can't do needle turn; the red basket was that attempt and it's pretty wonky.</div>

Because I skipped 2 blocks, I made these alternates. The two left blocks were given by the Moda designer. The top right I found online and the bottom right is one of the designer's mistakes that I liked. I've never made a bow tie block before but I love it. Like the log cabin it has versatility. Many of the traditional blocks are like that., I find.</div>

I made a doll outfit for my sister's youngest grand. She's 5 and has asked me to make her wedding gown. I said yes, of course, but I'll be in my eighties if the big day happens in 20 years or so. If I'm still kicking then I hope I can still see to find my sewing machine. Isn't that too cute!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have much to share with you but a few blocks. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Woven Time, the second block from <a href="http://www.piecingthepastquilts.com/">Piecing the Past Quilts</a> BOW. I've come to like working with Civil War and reproduction fabrics. The browns and tans are very restful, and when a color is added, such as the pinks, they become the perfect accent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzILOBgQWG_rEmSl1ivb8n4QzKDjA9gnJ4elTngNATJ16-UvB-o5PBgnD90ZIPhvuBaAEmr9s3pxwyb8x8EaYTdhDLv5aB8hYH7sT9wvaygbdzV3JxH4ummzylFYUNb3rdG6LtpLRJ4s/s1600/P1010002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzILOBgQWG_rEmSl1ivb8n4QzKDjA9gnJ4elTngNATJ16-UvB-o5PBgnD90ZIPhvuBaAEmr9s3pxwyb8x8EaYTdhDLv5aB8hYH7sT9wvaygbdzV3JxH4ummzylFYUNb3rdG6LtpLRJ4s/s400/P1010002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Woven Star, the first block. I just noticed that each block has the same nine patch cross. I wonder if that was a feature in Civil War blocks? The lights are all tans, not white. I didn't adjust the color well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something I like about this BOW is that the shop owner gives help in making the blocks. She also follows up on them on facebook. That's a nice touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt8m0ALWPEhzAmVW4tHU87xF6Pt3dEk8surBG0rd5cpny4thYYUOUSAT1oieNfsXjwS3ca5bCpK3kPlKiKnmNSHu4H3p47OLx-UtHd0i6LlSFvMFeAhjnmE4YPDhrSK4wV6CBE_TOx24/s1600/P1010004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt8m0ALWPEhzAmVW4tHU87xF6Pt3dEk8surBG0rd5cpny4thYYUOUSAT1oieNfsXjwS3ca5bCpK3kPlKiKnmNSHu4H3p47OLx-UtHd0i6LlSFvMFeAhjnmE4YPDhrSK4wV6CBE_TOx24/s400/P1010004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is block 9 of the Moda Block Heads BOW. I liked making this block also, although again, the colors aren't true in the pic. I have to remake block 8 because I'm not happy with my first version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The week ahead will be busy so I don't expect to have much free time for sewing, boo hoo. I'm a semi-retired person who needs a vacation:-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a fun week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This pattern is making the rounds of blogland. <a href="http://inspiredbyfabric.blogspot.com/2017/03/happy-spring-tulip-time-redone.html">Fabri-Quilt</a> has the pattern on their blog, Inspired by Fabric, and it looks great in all of the versions I've seen.

I didn't make this week's Solstice yet, and I am hoping to begin a new BOW tomorrow from <a href="http://www.piecingthepastquilts.com/">here</a>, Piecing the Past Quilt Shop. Traditional blocks are still my favorites, so a Civil War Sampler will be an interesting project. </div>
