This week, my sewing machine time has been dedicated to quilting the Rainbow Neighbourhood, and it is moving along! I've quilted the whole center section vertically, which is three of the house blocks, using the serpentine stitch every two inches.
This was early in the week when I was just getting started.
I'll continue with the vertical lines, and then do the same thing horizontally.
So, my scrappy sewing this week has been to hand-piece four more bowtie blocks to add to the collection. These make a really nice evening slow stitching project.
This little group is getting more and more colorful!
And one last fun thing to share. Because I finished my Rainbow Neighbourhood quilt top in time to share for the final link-up, I won a prize - my choice of two PDF patterns from Devoted Quilter's Etsy shop. I decided to choose two that would work for Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects, and here are the ones I got!
Pinwheel Garden
and Scrappy Playground.
Thank you Sandra at mmmquilts and Leanne at Devoted Quilter! These will go on my list for 2024, since I have plenty of projects already in place for 2023.
