This year I have made it a point to try and get many of the projects I have started finished. I have a bad habit of starting things and then moving on to the next project before I get things finished.
I started a Spiderweb String Quilt last year and made about two rows before I set it aside and never looked at it again. This past weekend I went on a quilting retreat at Montreat and I decided it would be the perfect time to work on getting this quilt to the next step.
I worked like mad on it and I got 80 triangles pieced. That is what I needed to make to add 4 more rows to this quilt. Now that that is done, the next step is to get all these sewn together. It’s getting closer and closer to being finished. I am excited to see how it turns out. I had such a good time at the retreat, too. The group of ladies that go are so nice and fun to be around. I spend as much time laughing as I do sewing. I can’t wait to go back again in the Fall.
I also was able to cross two baby quilts off my UFO list.
This one is going to a friend of mine that is expecting. This summer, I plan to get down to business and really get a good amount to things done. There will be some miles put on my sewing machine!
It is always a great time away, I missed being with you! I would ask you to save me seat in the fall, but I won’t be there then either… I’ll be at home waiting on the stork, he’s making two trips with new grandbabies!
Love your SW blocks, they’re vibrant and fun!
What a fantastic spiderweb quilt that is. Love all of the color.
Oh such beautiful work. I have only just found your blog and wanted tell you that your work is fantastic. Also I will be attempting the sewing caddy bags soon, thanks for the tutorial.
