This week, I have been trying to finish up some works in progress. I don't have any actual finishes, but I am definitely getting closer. All summer I have been working on making all the blocks for Lori Holt's Town Square Quilt found in Quilty Fun. It calls for a dozen Neighborhood House Blocks and I got them all done.
This quilt will be a new tablecloth for my kitchen table, so I want bright, cheerful colors and I think these sweet houses are precious.
I also made 52 Twinkly Winter Star Blocks for this quilt too. I just need to make the Courthouse Steps Blocks and there are only four of those needed. Hopefully, this will be a top soon.
I made my last two blocks for Lori Holt's Bloom Sew Along. This is Block 19
and this is Block 20. I need to trim all blocks down and keep cutting out my scrappy sashing. I am making mine smaller than her design, so it can be a baby quilt. This top should be done soon.
I finished Clue #4 for Butterfly Threads 2016 Mystery Quilt. Diane will reveal how to put all the pieces together on Friday. Here is the link:
I can't wait to see what it will look like!
We have zucchini and yellow squash by the basket full from my hubby's garden. I have been making zucchini pies and bread. His raspberry bushes have been producing by the gallon, so we have been enjoying fresh raspberries and freezing them for the winter.
I continue to stitch on my Love Blooms Here Quilt. I am almost done quilting the last blocks and will start on the border soon. Be inspired by everyone else here:
Have a great week!
You are having a productive summer. So many quilters slow way down in the summer because of outdoor activities.
ReplyDeleteNow this was one very productive week; so many lovely projects here! :)

ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful projects on the go!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss out on a wonderful summer mystery?!?
Good thing I didn't know about it... I couldn't fit in one more project!
I love those houses! I've never made a Lori Holt quilt, but I think I should one of these days. Hope your summer isn't flying by too fast!
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful projects on the go at your place! Your houses are looking bright & cheerful, perfect for kitchen colour!
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy! I love those houses too.
ReplyDeleteI love your houses and I like the idea of them being on your table. I just purchased Quilty Fun and I need a tablecloth. I just might make myself one too. If that ok with you. 😀
ReplyDeleteLots of cute and fun things happening at your house! I am impressed with how much you've gotten done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive week. I hadn't thought of using a quilt as a tablecloth - great idea!
ReplyDeleteYour houses look wonderful, as do the flower blocks, you have been busy! The raspberries sound wonderful, they are super expensive here as we are in the middle of winter!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun projects. I've too have been berry picking for the last week. By the looks of our garden I'll be picking tomatos before I can get all the berries picked.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy with all those blocks. Love the stars for the Town Square quilt. The flower blocks are very sweet. I t is so good to be able to pick your own veg. they look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThose houses are amazing! I cannot wait to see this quilt finished!!
ReplyDeleteI do so much enjoy seeing your works in progress. It's kind of like a cliffhanger. You keep coming back to see how it ends! Really fun and cute projects you have going on. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot going on! The houses are really turning out nicely. Summer squash is wonderful but it can get out of hand (baseball-bat sized before you know it).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the house quilt on your table! Super idea! x Teje
ReplyDeleteI love your Bloom blocks Tanya and looking forward to seeing your baby quilt done. I love your colorful houses and those stars look so tiny and cute.
ReplyDeleteI am looking at the bloom blocks and thinking -- oooh I like these light bright colors. You are doing a good job of getting a little done on a lot of projects. And, a lot done on a few projects.
ReplyDeleteLove your cheerful blocks! Lots of good stuff going on here. Enjoy your hubby's garden.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, so much accomplished. I am inspired to get sewing. Thanks.
