Blue Macnas Flimsy Done

Green Deco Done!
I finished the Green Deco quilt and took it out for Beaty shots. This is my favorite.
It's so gorgeous this weekend, I have to enjoy the lovely weather while it lasts.
I've been sewing the Blue Macnas quilt together and working outside to put the garden to bed. Inside I've been doing some cleaning and reorganizing of some areas that have been a bit neglected.

All Over the Place
I'm still wrestling with Sciatica in my hip and while that's getting better, if I sit too long it's really painful, so I do small amounts of each task and then stand up and walk a bit.
I've been doing a bit of this and a bit of that. I've sewn the blocks in the leftmost column above.
I've been cutting up the neutrals I bought in New York into Macnas blocks and the side triangles for the Scrap Slab Triangle quilts.Thursday, October 9, 2025
I'm BACK!
I'm BACK! Last weekend I drove out to Clifton Park NY. (I took the 3 hour 31 minute route. It wound through the mountains in Vermont and was very scenic. I did not want to travel on the Mass Pike and 495 (the dark blue route.)I gave a trunk show on Finding Inspiration and taught a workshop to the Quilt North group in Clifton Park. As you can see we had a grand time.

Binding Green Deco
I've finished binge watching the entire six seasons of Downton Abbey, and I've rewatched the first two movies. I've seen the last movie, The Grand Finale, so I am officially done. Sewing binding on a quilt is a great thing to do while I "watch" anything. I've got quite a lot of binding in my future and it's good to have a list of stuff I want to catch up on while I do it.

Assembling the Blue Macnas
When I have a long row of blocks to sew together, I break it up into smaller chunks. I've been sewing the Blue Macnas quilt together and you can see what I have sewn together at the left.

The Amethyst Quilt

Blue Macnas
Since I am giving the Blue Ribbon quilt to a friend, I decided I had to make another blue and white quilt for my table. So I gathered up some blue fabrics from the scrap and leftover bins.
I wanted clear blues that didn't lean towards blue-green (teal) or purple. For the lights I wanted white with blue and a very few whites have small amounts of other colors.

Back in the Studio
I finally got back into the studio. It was messy, so I was avoiding it. Anyway I cleared off the crap that was all the tables and put it all back where it belonged.And you know, in for a penny, in for a pound. Having done my work table and the ironing table, I just went back in after lunch and did the rest. I love it when the studio is all nice and neat. I washed all the tables and I even washed the cutting mats. (I feel so virtuous! LOL)

Birds in Connecticut
The lecture and workshop for the Connecticut Piecemakers went really well. There was a big group at my talk, and had a lot of fun at the workshop making my Liberated Birds.
The gals had a real sense of humor. I got pictures of a few of the participants. This is Anne.
