A little more sewing...a little less work

 Yay, this week was the first week since school started that I was able to come home on time for a couple of days.  I am finally getting my head above water.

So, some sewing happened which made my whole week.

I made these 4 cute little dresdon plates.  They are always fun!

Here you can see which blocks they will go with.  Basically I am making 4 quilts in 4 different color combos.

Country Rose

Nutmeg

I completed one more Celestial Star - not my favorite.  I am keeping it though because it was too much work to not keep it.  I just didn't pick the fabrics well.  I figure it will help my faves to shine.

Swap blocks I made for other people.

Oh, and look at these lovelies a friend of mine made for me in trade for finishing a BOM for her.  I love them so much!  I am still undecided on how I want to assemble them into a quilt.

Last week

 Well, mostly I just worked hard at work helping my kiddos learn to math and create things digitally.

Here are a few things that happened in the sewing room.

Crazy Quilty Ladies is quilted and bound.

Most of the fabric came from my stash.  I had been saving the measuring tape fabric just for this border, though.  The little scissors and stars came from a kit I bought to make a lovely little sewing quilt.  There were so many tiny little pieces in every block that I am choosing to not make the original kit.  Since the stars and scissors were already cut, here they ended up.  It was meant to be.  As for the remainder of the kit fabric, I plan to use those lovely pieces (layer cake plus yardage) to make my Brimfield Quilt at some point.

I really love these ladies and plan to enjoy their company in my sewing room.

This lovely low volume quilt is quilted and bound as well.

It is fun to roll the finished quilts and stack them for a photo.

Celestial Stars made some progress. This is a rough place to end on it, but you get the idea.

One round robin block was made and mailed.

I also enjoyed a short zoom session with my international friends.
