Breakfast Stitching

A week late, but I just got back from Minneapolis yesterday.  We went to the State Fair on opening day.  Such fun!

More Whirligig  blocks and an entire row joined.

And the new row, photographed in sections since I can't get the entire thing in one picture.

Linking to Kathy's Quilts.  I do love her blog!


Thank you all for your lovely comments!  Breakfast slow stitching continues.

Breakfast Stitching

And here we are again with more Whirligig blocks, all done while eating breakfast with the Hubz.  We eat, chat, and I stitch.  It's quite delicious.

When I finish the above row, I'll have 6 rows done.  Yay!

Slow Stitching

And here we are, again.  3 more blocks and one joined to the quilt top.

I now have 6 rows joined with maybe 4-5 more, plus filling in the crenelations on the edges.  I made start calling this "porch stitching", because that's where I work it.

Bardy's Quilt

Bardy's wife asked me to make a quilt out of his shirts.  He passed away a year ago.  He was my dear friend, and I was one of his opera "dates".  So here are the first two blocks, untrimmed and then trimmed.

These were rotated which is why the trimmed blocks look a bit different from the untrimmed ones.  Not to worry, each set is exactly the same.
