August 2024 Quilting Report

I have been busy sewing the blocks for my monthly subscription quilt. I haven't been blogging much but I have still been sewing.

I love doing the Substack newsletter and I just published more doll dress patterns for the 14" doll in the paid subscriber Doll Clothes Pattern Club edition for July. I write about all sorts of things that I am doing in this newsletter each week with a special Doll Clothes Pattern Club edition in the 4th week of each month.

I am presently working on the July blocks of the Down Wander Lane quilt. It has lots of American red, white and blue blocks.

Happy Quilting,

Val

Weekly Sewing Report

I am feeling the strain of working on the intricate blocks every day so I am going to weekly reports for a while. I feel like I want to do things other than quilting.

I will do some work on my garden quilt this week. I need to do some appliqué edging.

Behind this block I have my doll clothes sewing ready to cut out and try a new design.

I also have a lovely tea towel that my daughter brought from Japan that I want to cut into two strips and hem. There is also a cute piece of fabric that I want to quilt as a table runner.

Lots to keep me busy and give me a break from piecing.

Cheers,

Val

The second bird went together much easier than the first. 

I now have the very piecey art blocks and flower blocks to do. This month is turning out to be a lot more fiddly than the first two.

 Here is my first birdie. It was quite tricky to put together but it turned out almost exactly 6 1/2" square.
