Hoping all who celebrate Christmas have a wonderful day. It will be just me and my husband today. I will be making a small prime rib and baked potatoes for hubby and I baked a pumpkin pie yesterday. It will be a quiet day today, I will probably do some hand quilting, watch the Christmas Carol and do some blog reading. I thought there might be others on their own today too and you might enjoy a quilty post to read.
I am still working on the Cassandra's Circle BOM. I have block 10 prepped and only three more to do to have this top finished.

A long lost applique project was found the other day. I was thinking about giving up on this one until I looked at the three blocks I had finished and fell in love with it again. This is the Sweet William quilt. I have all the basket portions done, all hand pieced.

Have a Merry, Happy Day with your hubby. We don't celebrate but the boys are coming home. It will be just a simple family gathering.
ReplyDeleteI love all your applique blocks and I'm happy to read that you will continue with Sweet William. It is such a lovely quilt and you did SO much work already. Hand-stitched all the baskets is quite a devotion. But they did it that way back then, I know. The lady had quite a collection of knitting needles. The scarf you did is so beautiful. Love it. Enjoy! ;^)
Merry merry Christmas!!! I love your beautiful Sweet William in progress; what a treasure in the making!
ReplyDeleteThe Cassandra's Circle quilt is so lovely. I'm glad you fell in love with Sweet William again. I do that when I come back to a forgotten UFO. You have done so much work already, it should be a joy to finish it up. WOW! That is a lot of knitting needles - so generous.
ReplyDeleteYour applique blocks are beautiful! I've always liked the Sweet William pattern, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're not giving up on Sweet William. It will be a beautiful quilt!
