From Small Things: Episode 22: Bit By Bit

Welcome back! The past couple weeks have not gone quite as planned, so my sewing plans have had to change a bit, and I'm working around some obstacles. My cat Ollie had to go to the vet, and I have to put an ointment on him every day; since he loves to lie in my quilting frame, I decided to start quilting my Trip Around The World quilt instead of the antique quilt top I had been hoping to work on next-- I really don't want any ointment getting on that beauty! So I am making slow progress on the Trip instead. I have also finished piecing the quilt top made of four orphan applique blocks surrounded by hourglass units; I added some crochet lace, and some embroidery to the center of this quilt for an added pop of interest. I show a little example of how I did this embroidery stitch: the feather or maidenhair stitch. I also forgot I have a finished quilt: my Hunter's Star. I didn't realize you hadn't seen it completed yet! This was made using red and black men's shirts, and hand quilted; it has a pieced back and simple black binding. I'm also making progress on my Plus block quilt, and have started piecing rows. Since I'm setting this one on point, I am piecing it from two opposite corners and building in toward the middle. This way I can get a good idea of how big I want it, and therefore how many more blocks I will need to make. Finally, since Ollie keeps lying on my quilt and I have to let him, I have started working on some Cathedral Windows blocks. This is a good project to be able to grab when you are stuck sitting for some time! This one is made with muslin and blue squares. I am planning to make it an insulating wall hanging, rather than a full quilt. I hope you are making good progress in your sewing rooms! You can find me on Instagram ‪@fromsmallthings509‬
