Some more progress -

 
 
On my Harmonic Convergence  - 
 
From the book - Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts

I played around with the borders a little - 

Nothing is sewn together - 

I need to add the narrow border first - 
 
 
And we played a little more with the puzzle - 

 
We're almost done - 

And I'm getting bored with it already -

I'm looking forward to playing with another one - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

More progress -

 
 
On the puzzle - 
 
 
And my daughter finished sewing the middle section - 
 
Of her Harmonic Convergence  - 
 
 
 
 
While I cut the narrow inner border strips for mine - 
 
I didn't take a photo of them - they're boring - 

And you'll see soon enough - LOL - ;))

Progress -

 
 
Sort of - on the puzzle - 
 
We put away the 500 piece one from yesterday - 
 
Because this one arrived in the mail today - 
 
1000 pieces - called "Quilt Farm" - 
 
How could we NOT put it together as soon as possible? - LOL - ;))
 
 
My photo doesn't do it justice - 
 
The colors and picture are MUCH brighter and clearer than shown above - 
 
We got the border done after dinner - 
 
And part of the quilts in the lower left corner - 

 
And - 
 
While waiting for the delivery of the puzzle -
 
I cut and sewed another Harmonic Convergence  - 
From the book - Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts

 
The photo above was taken before I remembered to re-orient it - 
 
To the way I had originally intended it -
 
I still need to cut and sew the borders - 
 
And now - looking at it - 
 
I probably should have put the dark pink one in the top right corner - 
 
 
But that's OK - it is what it is -
 
My next one will be perfect - LOL - ;))

New stuff -

 
 
Is always fun - ;))
 
First - a new sewing project - 
 
I chose some fabric - 
 
 
But didn't get very far - 

 
Then we chose a new puzzle - 
 
Only 500 pieces this time - 
 
But they are really tiny - 
 
It's called "Feeding the birds" - 
 
And the whole thing is only about 11" x 18" - 
 
As you can see - we only put the border together - 

 
Hopefully - tomorrow will be a more productive day - ;))

Done -

 
 
With this one - 
 
 
The top "flowers" were definitely easier to put together - 


 
Than the "feathers" in the bottom section - 

 
Maybe now I should do some sewing -
 
Before I forget how - LOL - ;))

Slow going -

 
 
We're playing with one of the hard parts now - 
 
So it's really slow going - 
 

It will probably be even slower going - 

When we get to the "feathers" in the bottom section -

But it's FUN - 

And it beats doing "chores" - LOL - ;))

Owl Eyes -

 
 
Aren't nearly as creepy looking - 
 
When they have a forehead - 
 
And eyebrows -
 
And a beak - LOL - ;))
 
 
My daughter is the speed demon - 

When it comes to putting these puzzles together - 

She can match about ten pieces to my two - LOL - ;))

Puzzles -

 
 
Are such fun! - ;))
 
We finished up this one - 
 



 
And were missing one piece at the bottom of the chair - 
 
Oh, well - it was fun anyway - 
 
And we wanted to play with a new one - 
 
This Owl is 1000 pieces - 
 
And should keep us busy for a while - 

 
We started with the border - 
 
Then played with the eyes - 
 

 
I didn't realize how creepy it would look - 
 
Until I took the photo - LOL - ;))

Cards -

 
 
From friends are the best!! - ;))
 
Today I received a Valentine's Day card from Linda -
 
Not her fault it was late - 
She mailed it in plenty of time for me to get BEFORE Valentine's Day - 
But I think it took the scenic route - LOL -
 
 
It reminded me that I never showed you -
 

 
Or the one I received from Cindy for Christmas last year - 
 

 
It is so AWESOME to be included when they sent out cards - 
 
They are such talented ladies - 
 
And I LOVE their creativity - ;))

Progress -

 
 
On two fronts - 
 
First - the puzzle - 
 
We got most of the little girl done - 
 
 
Then - a new project on the design wall in the hallway - 


My daughter wants to try to make a quilt - 
 
And we're going to start with these - ;))

A new puzzle -

 
 
This time it's a little girl - 
 
With a chair of bowlies - LOL - ;))
 
 
We didn't get very far - 
 
But we did get the border done - 

 
Then we had some Pumpkin Pudding Cake - 
 
Because we could - LOL - ;))

 
Tomorrow I have more "chores" to do  - 
 
So I  may not get much sewing done - 
 
But we'll see - ;))

A little more organizing -

 
 
Of some projects - 
 
Sorted by which ones need what - 
 

 
 
And then we finished the puzzle - 
 
Ta Dah! - ;))


 


Tomorrow I need to do more organizing - 
 
And practice some Free-Motion quilting - ;))

The last -

 
 
BLUE section was filled with leaves - 
 
And a variety of background "fill" patterns - 
 
 




 
Then I played with a "feather" in a GREEN section - 
 
And didn't quite get the "angle" that I was wanted - 



 
But I have more practice areas - 

And a LOT more things to try -
 
So I'm not being too hard on myself - 
 
Hopefully - I will improve as I go along - ;))

An update -

 
 
Is definitely in order - 
 
I checked my last entry in my Scrapbook - 
 
And found this - 
 
 
My notes say that I finished piecing that top on 2/25/17 - 

And finally got it quilted and bound on 5/27/19 - 

I'm pretty sure that I've made a few more tops since then - LOL -
 
And should probably get a list together -
 
To start updating my Scrapbook - 
 
And to figure out where I am on all of my projects - 
 
While I practice my Free-Motion quilting -
 
Maybe I can make progress on two different things - 
 
At the same time -  more or less - ;))

More practice -

 
 
With some square-ish spirals - 
 
 
And some round-ish spirals - 

 
And some pebbles - 

 
And more square-ish spirals to finish off the BLUE border strip - 

 
I have another BLUE strip on the other end of this practice piece - 

Plus two PURPLE sections - 

Two GREEN sections - 

Two ORANGE sections - 

And two RED sections -
 
So it's not like I'm running out of room to PLAY - LOL - ;))

Puzzle -

 
 
Break time - 
 
I spent way too much time playing with this puzzle - 
 

 
And very little time playing with my Free-Motion quilting

 
I tried some more spirals just for fun - 
 
Please ignore the blob of yellow thread in that middle top one - 
 
I lost a game of bobbin chicken -
 
And wanted to make sure that the threads wouldn't come loose - 
 
But I didn't tie them off the "correct" way - 
 
Since it's only a practice piece - 
 
And I didn't want to - LOL - ;))
