Quick post about my July Schnibbles.
Many hours at work, starting a job search, and trying to make a large version of Lincoln nearly did me in.
I have spent many hours doing all 3 over the past 2 weeks.
My house is neglected.
My yard is overgrown.
(Hopefully my kids are ok - they are so self sufficient these days!)
BUT, working on this quilt top helped with all of the stress.
I am so sorry for the really bad pictures. After a late night last night, I was too tired to take a picture.
So I had to do it this morning on my East facing deck.
Yeah, I have to admit the rows are not sewn together. I ran out of time but hopefully you can get a sense of what it is going to look like. And now that I am looking at it, I see the center row got out of order and will have to redo it. I wonder if working on this at midnight affected that? ;)
I made the large version, so will also be adding a border.

Many thanks to Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Pattern Company for the wonderful pattern,
and to Sherri - A Quilting Life and Sinta - Pink Pincushion for this monthly challenge.
I wouldn't touch my machine many months if it weren't for this incentive.
Enjoy the parade!!
Blessed Sewing, Karen
Sounds like you are burning the candle at both ends at the minute Karen! Hope the job hunt goes well and don't forget to look after yourself in amongst all that activity.

ReplyDeleteLove this quilt - the fabric line is one of my favorites! Can't wait to see it all done!!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! That's one of my favorite fabric lines. Your pictures are great! Good for you to work so hard on it.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great with the shadows from the railing! Congratulations on all of your progress,and yes,remember to take time for yourself :)
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great! I love your fabric choice. Sweetwater are one of my favourites. I just found your blog tonight through the schnibbles parade.
ReplyDeleteI was just checking to see if you have gotten the upper hand on your Lincoln yet! The fabric you picked is so cute. I think that is one of my favorite Sweetwater lines. Each quilt is a relationship that you form. Some take longer and can't be rushed... and the ones that take longer are just as cherished.
