Hello Friends
I have a couple of finishes to share with you today. First up is On Ringo Lake. This is a Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt from 2017. I was debating putting bigger borders on and decided to just leave it as is.
It feels so good to have this finished.
I had also just finished putting together the 2020/2021 Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt Grassy Creek. I just loved the colors in this one too. Here she is finished:
I think this is one of my fastest finishes. I did not start this until January of 2021. I worked on it off and on for a few months. By June I had all of the blocks made just needed to make the scrappy borders and block surrounds. It took me a while to do that because it was all paper pieced. I also needed to add fabric to my stash to finish them. I put it all together by the end of the year. It went to the long armer in February with On Ringo Lake. She was a little behind with seasonal sicknesses, but got them back to me the end of April. I had them bound by machine right away. I am so happy with these finishes.
I am trying so hard to finish things before starting new things. I did put together a top for the GSafe auction. The fabric was all labeled in a kit that someone donated. I am still deciding on a border. I have the fabric for the border just not sure it will look good.
Those are my finishes so far. I did purchase a new sewing machine for my birthday this year. Will post about that soon. Just trying to get used to her. I started with a table runner kit from my sister that has been in my stash for a while. Stay tuned!
Do you switch up your sewing in the summer? I just bought a table and chairs set for my front porch. Hoping to sit and do some hand sewing or crochet this summer. I don't get much machine time in the summer.
Blessings
