La Belle Dame... WIP Update

Well, I finished another page on La Belle Dame...

I now have the first 20 pages done!  Whew!  This last page was a lot of black.  So glad I'm done with it.  The next page has quite a bit of black but does have more of other colors so it will be less tedious.

Here is my progress photo:

I will start something different in my rotation but tonight is my bowling league so my next project probably won't get chosen until tomorrow.

Happy Stitching!

Quilting: String Blocks

I forgot to post this a few days ago.  I made up some string blocks for a swap on StashBuilders.

I love making these blocks 'cause they're easy and use up scraps!

These are just a few of the 15 I made for the swap.  These were trimmed to 8" to tidy them up but the finished size will be 7.5".

I also have a bunch more that I'll add to the "new" ones I get from the swap so that I can make a full size quilt.

Here's a quilt that I've made using string blocks:

This one is a wall hanging.  It's hanging along the stairs to my sewing room.

I have a couple of others.  One is in my living room (no photo...yet), the other isn't quilted yet.  The un-quilted one is a Christmas string quilt.

Happy Stitching!

Thankfully, it's done!  Now I don't have this big "lump" that I have to keep moving out of my way in my sewing room.

I've also finished #9!  Well, the last batch are in front of the fire to make sure that they get completely dry...but they're done.  In all, there were 22 that needed to be starched and shaped.  Here's a picture of a few of them.

I have also made some progress on items #2 and #4.

Happy Stitching!
