WEEK 10 OF PLAYCATION 2024

 It's week ten of Quilter's Playcation 2024 with Cheryl Arkison.  This improv block was fun, quick and easy.

ROOTED #2

 I put the last few embroidery stitches into the Month Two block for Rooted by Sue Spargo.  It's finally done.  It took a while.


However, I just received Month Seven.  So, I'm a bit behind.

SECOND MONTH OF SEAMQGBOM

 I got the second month's blocks made for the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month 2024 - SEAMQGBOM2024.  Lots of Flying Geese.

WEEK 9 PLAYCATION BLOCK

 I finished up my Playcation block that I started yesterday.  I might have more scraps now than when I started it - but, they are a lot smaller.


I was messing around with making a collage this morning.  I came up with this and like it.  I was thinking I might take this to the upcoming Irene Workshop and replicate it in fabric.  I love the colors.

SEASONS ON DISPLAY

The Sewing Machine Service store in Renton asked if they could hang one of my quilts in the store.  I dropped off Seasons last week and when I stopped in today to get my new zigzag throat plate, there it was.


Then I dashed home so I could tune into Cheryl Arkison's Playcation 2024.  It was about using up some scraps from the previous weeks.  I didn't exactly follow directions, and went off on a tangent.  So, it took me a lot longer than it should have.  I didn't finish it today.

MONDAY PURPLES

 I finished the basket.  It turned out great.

Then I made this 10" block out of 100 one inch squares for a quilter online that asked for a bunch because she needed 3000 of them or something.  Then I find out after, that she has more than enough and doesn't want anymore.  I'll put it in my orphan block stack.

SUNDAY AGAIN

 It's the end of another week.  Here's my Sunrise quilt so far - nine weeks.


Then I got out the Bernina 1230 because with the exchange of feed dogs on the B770 I don't yet have a zigzag throat plate - it's on order.  So, I got the 1230 to use the zigzag because I had a yankering to make a basket using the colored rope I bought at Quiltcon.

I wanted a big basket, so I started the bottom with some white rope that I covered in some purple fabric - wrapping around and around and around.  I didn't get very far though.  I had bugs to work out, remembering how best to do this.
