St. Patrick's Day and International Quilting Day!

 Woohoo!

Time for some green Quilts! LOL! Not often that these two days land on the same weekend.

I finally finished one of my UFOs (unfinished objects).  It's only been 3 years...  AND it was completed before St. Patrick Day. 

When shopping for Disney fabric in the USA, I fell in love with this one.  So I bought enough to make a wall quilt.  But what to put on it?  A book I saw about Celtic knots and this pretty ribbon made up my mind.  Add a cute charm then quilt with embroidery thread in the current big-stitch popularity and here we go!

Quilting more blocks

 Hello!

I've been working on another blog about the Quilt For Canada that was made for Canada's 125th birthday.  Check it out and share with all you know!

Personally, I continued with my monthly projects:

The Esther Block  Sew Along for February:

I have been LOVING the Tinsel wool applique by Sue Spargo and embroidery with the Cotton Harvest.  Here's blocks #1 &2:

And I've been plugging away on my blackwork stitch alongs with Peppermint Purple too.  I have some catching up to do....

This is the 2024 52 week stitch along (its free to join in!):

This is a temperature black work recording the high temperatures of each day this year:

Do Not Get Sick!

 I cannot recommend getting sick.

From 2 weeks before Christmas to last week, it has not been fun... I will however NEVER forget this Christmas season.  LOL!

I've added 1 more block to my Esther Block stitch a long. 
This is my December Block, picking a fabric that had a line in the large center piece along the edge.

This is the January block, cutting one of the pieces into smaller pieces. I did the center jewels.

I finished my 2023 weekly  blackwork from Peppermint Purple:

What's next?

- a 2024 weekly blackwork with Peppermint Purple
- a 2024 temperature bookshelf from Peppermint Purple
- a stitched block of the month with Cotton Harvest called Tinsel by Sue Spargo
- continuing the Esther Block of the month
- getting ready to go to Edmonton in June for Quilt Canada!
