Community Quilt (2025)

Quilting

I didn’t piece this but I think it was someone who participated in one of Carol’s Summer Mysteries (or Saskatchewan Mystery as many in the group call it).

I did the quilting on my machine on Texada. It worked well and I’ll use it again for quilting if we spend a length of time over there and the quilting is simple.

Whoever made this did a great job of using scraps but still coming out with a beautiful design.

Quilting
From Little Handfuls of Scraps by Edyta Sitar (13″ x 17″)

This project truly lived up to the theme of a handful of scraps. The quarter-square triangles are the cut corners from a recently completed quilt top. I made half-square triangles with them and then turned them into quarter-squares.

The sashing and cornerstones came from my 1.5″ scrap bin that I’ve been sorting through. The half-square triangles on the sides came from some cut corners that my friend Gail gave me.

I had to cut a couple of strips of yardage for the binding.

Wee Things (#1 and #2)

Needlework

Before I started my chicken embroidery project I thought I should try some wool felt embroidery but on a smaller scale. I purchased a set of three “Wee Things” when Stacia, Deloise and I went to Houston.

These berries have been done since 2023. When I went to the website to see how I had titled the post I couldn’t find it. I found photos in my app, but no posts.

The first day of my tree embroidery class I needed something to work on so I pulled out the fall version of my “Wee Things”. On my birthday (for me the official start of fall), this will replace the strawberries on the stand.

I have one more “Wee Thing” left. Hopefully I’ll get to it by the time winter comes.
