Nose to the Grindstone!

I am continuing to work away on my releases for Needlework Expo. A new development has happened that has helped me out immensely! My husband has begun to do all my photography! He is semi-retired now and I think he saw me struggling(and probably complaining) to get through my photo shoot, and he decided to take pity on me. He is actually an amazing photographer and I couldn't be happier with his work! So that is a huge load off because that is my least favorite aspect of what I do. I just don't have the patience for it and I can't seem to follow the basic rules of photography! LOL!

I will be releasing all my sneak peeks next week!

I am continuing to work on my civil war quilt. I started the first block with the needle turn method and I'm finding it just too tedious for this quilt. I think needle turn is great for large uncomplicated pieces, but this quilt just has too many corners and curves. So the next block I plan to do more prep work. I just broke down and ordered the Appliquick tools, I'm excited to see how they work.



I also prepped 2 more blocks for my Maggie Bonanami quilt called Village green. I have the center block and block 2 done. I prepped blocks 3 and 4, and Im hoping to get block 5 prepped today. Once I get all of them appliqued I will only have the borders left! I have a goal to get this done by October 1 so I can have it out for the fall before my Christmas decor comes out.






I finally decided which Blackbird quilt to make. I am going to do A Little Flower. This was a pamphlet pattern from 2016? I think? Anyhow I saw Kay Harmon's version and I just about died! LOL! So I started that too!



So many projects so little time! hahaha!


Happy stitching!
XOXO,
Annie
