I thought I didn't sew much this quarter, but I have.  I have been working on bits and pieces anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes chunks of sewing time.  I have also been attending a local quilt group on Thursday evenings and have tried to work on some of my projects.  Here are some pictures of what I've completed thus far.

I made a few more blocks from Leah Day's block of the month project.  I have to pin quilt them and start free motion quilting.  I am a bit behind, I will catch up.


I also made 4 more pot holders.  They are cute and look just like pies!



I made a Lazy girl bag using the 'Acoma' turtle fabric.  I love it!  This is going to be a Christmas gift for Mom.

Bonnie Hunter's En Provence quilt mystery....
Well, I've started!  I've sewn together the 4 patch blocks and have spun the seams.  I need 190 more!  I have pinned them together in numbers of 10 for easier counting...just as Bonnie has suggested.  I need more neutrals (I really don't, but it's fun to shop).
En Provence...step 1

   


I love my new ironing board cover!  I made this about a month ago.  I also added another layer of cotton batting.

Whoohoooo!  Bonnie has our first clue up!  What beautiful colors!  I can hardly wait to start.  I bought some beautiful majenta fabric from a new quilt store here in town.  This store is so big and has many beautiful bolts of fabric and a wide variety at that.  I went back this past week and found more and left with a big smile and another bag project's worth to sew.

The link to her mystery is on the right top hand corner!  Have fun!

It's the last day of 2023.  This was a rough year for my family.  We lost four close family members starting in January, May, July, and ...
