WIP Wednesday 5.3.17

Four weeks to go until school's out for summer!  I'm still making a lot of headway on getting WIPS closer to the finish without starting too many more!  Whohoo!  Check it out:

I completed ALL of the handwork of applique on Homestead Harvest.



I'm STILL stitching the binding of the Underpants Project by hand...  It's less than 36" x 36"...  Yes, this is the same picture I showed last week.  Hopefully THIS week will be the big progress.



Garden Party (pattern by Bonnie Hunter in her Addicted to Scraps book) grew by TWO rows!



I finished the quilting on Scrappy Stars.



I totally finished another charity quilt for our local quilt guild.  Here's Shoo Fly:



Check out the back of Shoo Fly and my feathers using a pantograph:



I'm still hangin' with Pat Sloan and keeping up with the Solstice Challenge.  This is block #19 of 25 called Board Games.  Only six more blocks to go!

 

One House, Two House. This quilt pattern I found in a book called Welcome Home~~Surround Yourself With Country Warmth by Cheryl Wall. 

 

I don't usually post pictures of myself, but why not?  Our almost 10-year-old son loves to grab the camera and take pictures.  It's also fun to see the view from his eyes.  Don't mind my messed up hair...  I don't.  It's a casual Sunday after church when I found some quilting time. 

 

You can tell that most of the effects from the Bell's Palsy on 2/11/17 is gone.  My smile is a little crooked, but I'm thankful I can smile again.  I still can't whistle or blow up a balloon.  My eye has trouble adjusting to sunny days.  But it's totally bearable and not the end of the world.  God is good.

I finished out the month of April for the RSC17 (Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017 that meets up in a linky party each Saturday at Angela's blog, (SoScrappy) with a binding blitz.  I'm finally putting the binding on a Block Lotto quilt.  I won these Big O blocks from the Block Lotto on 12.31.2014.
One by one another WIP will be biting the dust!
