Moving It Forward sit and sew

I’m so thankful for all the pre cutting I’ve done in the past filling project boxes with projects.  I do this mostly so I’ll be ready for each Quilty Hug sew in.  But it’s been a blessing now that my mobility is limited.  Everything is cut and ready for my to just sit and sew.  I may have to do a lot of cutting once I’ve recovered to replenish my project boxes but for now I’m happily sewing.

These little nine patches were in one box.  I had started them.  They are now all sewn.  I then framed them in a happy yellow for the one with orange centers.

I’m planning orange for the yellow centered ones.  This would have been done but,  I’ve misplaced the orange.  How does that happen.  I didn’t think it was possible to lose BRIGHT ORANGE YARDAGE.  I’ve been using it in more than one project but somehow it is lost.  My neighbor took pity on me when I told her as she was borrowing my 1 1/2″ strip die.  We each have a Go and share dies.  So while she was out she picked me up some more.  Now I’ll be able to finish these cute little blocks and put them into a happy Quilty Hug.

I’ve also been focusing on turning a few of my free pieced quilts into 5″ x 7″ greeting cards.

Each card has a blank inside and one of my original free pieced quilts on the front.

I did the same thing with 4″ x 6″ postcards.  A fun quilt post card without the work.  Send now.  Frame later.
