Didn't make it - OMG

I joined OMG this month for the first time.  A few days later I found out that Lump and her dad, after living with us since she was 3, are moving 13 hours away to Kansas.  So I decided spending time with them until they go was more important than meeting the goal this month.

I did get some of the blocks completed.  They are really fun blocks to make.  And a nice size at 15".  I am making the HST on my old faithful 40 year old Kenmore (my workhorse named Matilda) and all of the other piecing is being done on my newly purchased Featherweight named Gladys.


I will continue working on it this week while Lump spends the week with her mamma while her daddy is in Kansas interviewing for jobs.  It's also a work at home week.

Also, while helping me "work at home" Lump found a tub of old scraps and started laying them out on the floor and clipping them together with wonder clips. I told her she could put them on the design wall and this is what she came up with.



Some of this fabric wasn't fit for quilting but I let her have her fun.  At the end of the week I told her that I would try to get them sewn together while she was spending the weekend with her mother.  I had to replace the "not for quilting" fabric.  I don't think it turned out too bad.  In her eyes it is exactly as she had it on the wall and she loves it.

I pin basted, which I don't usually do.  I quilted a meander with a heart around each pin.


I labeled it.


And here she is with her quilt.



I'm gonna miss her.  And her daddy too.

Wishing you more quilting time than I will have.

OMG - June 2020

I'm linking with OMG for the first time.

I hope to turn this fat quarter bundle into the quilt in the picture this month.


It's called Dashing Duos from American Patchwork and Quilting, August 2019.

Wish me luck!!!

Wishing you more quilting time than I will have.
