WiPs for a Sunday

I have many ongoing Works in Progress, but these are the ones that are on my mind today!

Evolving

My current slow-stitching hexie project:

What I thought was happening two weeks ago -


And how they look right now - 

Can you tell I've been focusing on the blue hexies recently?

I know this will become a table-topper eventually, but it needs to be longer and wider.  I have two more diamonds to attach somehow, but I'm thinking I will also add in a new color - something low volume, cream tone-on-tone.  This project is definitely still evolving!  I work on this a little bit each evening, and am enjoying the slow progress very much!

Almost There

the Squirrel, I mean, Village:

Last week -


This week -  I added these two sections - 



then stitched all the blocks together into a final layout, and worked on the quilting -



It won't take much longer to get this one finished up.  Maybe I will even be slow-stitching some binding later on today!

And one last WiP that has been Overlooked recently!


I last posted about my bird blocks a couple weeks ago, and they are still in this same pile!  Once I finish the quilting and the machine stitching part of the binding for the Village, I'll be able to start sewing these together.  First things first, of course!  

Hope you're having a great weekend! I'll be sharing over at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching and at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!

  1. I absolutely LOVE your village!
    I've been "slow-crocheting" instead of slow sewing in the evenings. :D

  2. I love the 'birds' in the sun block and how the one overlaps into another block. That's a very cute quilt.
