This and That

Block 11 is complete..... only three more to make for the center.


And I finally finished my little nine patch. This has been in the making for years. I have been using it as my Leander Quilt (leader - ender). Bonnie Hunter's Leader Ender method makes sense to me. I consider this quilt made with free thread... You know that two inch bit you cut off and put in the trash and the beginning and end each time you sew. Now I have a stack of pieces cut from making other quilt blocks that I will assemble into HST's..... They will all go into BOB and if I ever live in a permanant home where I can put up a design board they will become a quilt.

Here is a closer view...


And two more to give you an idea of size....




For the last two evenings I have worked on this block from Bunny Hill. It has the most pieces of any of them so far. As I neared the end with only three more pieces to stitch into place I realized that I had used the wrong background fabric.......

Those pieces have to come off and the stitching needs to be done again.............

Since tonight is Dinner and a Movie night I will work on removing them. If I don't it will be put to one side and never completed............

People coming in at 10:00 this morning to look at the house. In just a few minutes Lem and I will be dusting and vacumming and putting everything away. Making the house look like no one lives here................... While the house is being shown we will run a few errands...........

Then this afternoon I have the pleasant task of putting moisture barrier paint on the walls in the basement.......................

No stitching for me till real late.....................
