This week was a difficult week with three blocks to complete, all of them with a lot of detail. Here they are in the order in which I completed them.
#1 Addie
Addie was made with the Kona Solids: Dahlia, Pansy, and Lime.
#57 Margaret
Margaret was made with the Kona Solids: Bright Periwinkle, Wisteria, and Peridot.
#62 Milly
Milly was made with the Kona Solids: Tarragon, Ivy, Dahlia, and Celery
Addie was the easiest of these three to complete. She had only 25 pieces compared to the 32 pieces in the other two blocks. Margaret was the second easiest because she did not require the nesting of eight tails except in one location. Milly brought back bad memories of Caroline. Milly had a total of five locations where it was necessary to nest eight tails.
I think of all the blocks I have completed so far I like Milly the best in terms of my selection of colors.
I love the way these blocks look! The green and purple go well together. You’ve accomplished a lot!
Hi Terri, I just posted on another post of yours and then found u had posted more since October. Der. Ur blocks are looking great. Vanessa
Your blocks are simply incredible, Terry. Do you do regular machine piecing as well as EPP?
When I started back with quilting a couple years ago I was working in EPP exclusively. In April of this year I attended the first Slow Stitching Movement Retreat with Mark Lipinski in Lambertville, New Jersey. During the workshop Mark provided those of us who needed machines with nice machines through Pocono Sew and Vac. We used the Janome Skyline S5 which was a new machine at the time. We got a good deal on our demo units if we wanted to buy them. I decided to snatch it up even though I wasn’t using a sewing machine for anything other than attaching the binding to the front of quilts at the time. The main reason I bought the machine was so I could learn how to machine quilt at some time.
Since returning from the retreat I have been getting to know my machine by working with the log cabin block. I am working on a queen sized log cabin quilt, but it is on hold right now due to the demands of the Farmer’s Wife Quilt.
I have not done any other machine piecing yet, but I am interested in expanding my skill set.
I have installed the most recent model of the WebDriver NuGet.
