Midweek Makers #411

Welcome to Midweek Makers! 

Has everyone has recovered from turkey and stuffing? How about holiday shopping? Anyone pick up some quilt related deals? I'm got through both, taking advantage of a deal on batting and some fabric for future projects. Once my back recovers a bit more, I hope to do more sewing.

Though the Midweek Makers badge is winter themed this week, I'm giving one last hurrah to fall with the following autumn themed quilts from last week.

From Not Afraid of Color, this colorful leaf wall hanging,

and the next two from Melva Loves Scraps: an adorable leaf mini-quilt,

and little turkey, full personality!

I'll be looking for Christmas and Hanukkah quilts over the next month - share 'em if you have 'em!

Welcome to Midweek Makers and a big Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I stitched up another block last week, but you can't see it till Tuesday when the new Quilt Block Mania block comes out. I'll think you'll love it! Otherwise, I've spent my time back at the computer, designing and getting ready for RSC2024 starting in January. Can't wait for the start of the new year to hopefully get my medical issues behind me.

There were some very pretty quilts last week - did you check them out? If not, here's my three favorites:

from Pinker n Punkin Quilting, Butterfly Kisses from Heaven.

Here's the third Sweet Tweet block from DonnaleeQ,

and last but not least, this Paducah Log Cabin from Dragon's Heart Quilting.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

I did a smidge of sewing, keeping track of the time I'm sitting as I'm allowed 50% of an hour. Here's my test creation, a scrap bin. 

I'm thinking of making more and coming up with a quilt design - we shall see!

How about these beauties from last week? Grace and Peace shared this easy quilt pattern using Japanese fabrics,

Making a Lather is almost finished with this in-progress Sweet Pea top,

and from Bell Creek Quilts, some very fun scrappy huts for RSC2023. I love this idea and may have to make some of my own for next years RSC.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Good news - I went driving last week. Granted it was under 35mph on residential streets, but baby steps. Not at all ready for the big time yet, that will be a couple months. But at least I can get to the store if I need to. 

As for sewing, I'd love to and probably could given I can drive. Problem is, my fabric is difficult to get to because it's in heavy bins on the floor. I'll just have to content myself stitching scraps to make crumb blocks for awhile since I can easily get to those 1 gallon zip lock bags. Baby steps again.

Just want to let everyone know I so appreciate the link ups each week - gives me great eye candy! So let's see some fall creations:

from Vicki's Crafts and Quilting, a pumpkin and cat wall hanging,

Donnaleeq stitched up a pumpkin and cat runner,

and Quilting and Learning creating some swirling leaves.

Hand Mixer for November Quilt Block Mania

Quilt Block Mania is heading to the kitchen this month in preparation for all the holiday cooking. And a kitchen isn't complete without a Hand Mixer!

When something needs mixing, instead of hauling out the heavy stand mixer, I'll grab my Hand Mixer. It's small size comes in so handy to mash potatoes, whip egg whites, mix a small cake, put together a batch of cookies, etc, etc - the list goes on and on!

Of course, the Hand Mixer isn't the only wonder-tool in the kitchen - take a look at these other kitchen gadgets designed by my fellow quilters.

All of these blocks are free for the month of November. Be sure to thank the designers for their fun kitchen themed blocks!

A little about constructing my Hand Mixer. The block is all applique, requiring 4 color coordinating fat quarters for one block. Use fusible web and a light box to make tracing and placement easier and is perfect for those beginners wanting to try applique!

Sorry, but the Hand Mixer block is temporarily unavailable.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Happy to report that at 6 weeks post surgery, I'm doing really well. Next week is the doctor appt which includes x-rays to check on progress. And hopefully, I'll be able to ditch the massive brace I need to wear. I'm getting there!

So, did everyone check out the quilts from last week? Here's three that caught my eye:

from Grace and Peace, this Petra quilt,

a kaleidoscope finish for Not Afraid of Color,

and a Happy Endings quilt from With Strings Attached.
