The first local mini is now in the books and here’s my post on what I’ve got done and any homework that came up.

#1 – Jane Austen’s quilt – prep Hampshire Blocks

Next: Hampshire Blocks – There are 4 blocks for this set. Same block different fabric. I prepared the template paper and pulled the called for fabric. I cut the background fabric. I wanted to move on but I didn’t bring all my retreat projects with me so ended up cutting all the interface and fabric. It’s ready to sew. I added this to my ‘Homework’.

#2 – Monthly Door banner from 2024 – cut the final door banner kit – November.

—- done! I finished cutting the last door banner from 2024! Woohoo!!!!

#3 – 2023 Saturday Sampler from QP.

I’m at the “putting-the-inner-top-together” stage and next is step 3.

Here is step 3-

#4 – William Morris BOM – The next blocks to make are October, and January. Since my last post, I added the hand stitching around the August block and now that’s complete. I’ve also been working on the September hand applique as part of my homework since the last mini retreat. And I finished it at this mini retreat.

I cut the January block and it’s ready to be sewn.

#5 – Tula Pink Butterfly 2.0 – Find out where I am next

#6 – Spooky Halloween – Row 2, block 3 – take a picture

I’ve started it and I’m needle turning the traditional method. I want to prep the next block as I work some in Block 3.

#7 – Tuella and Friends.

#8 – “Allietare” Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilt from 2015 – My goal with putting this here is to start getting it into my queue. I don’t have time for it now but it’s on this list to start making its way from my head, to actually working on it.
