I chased another squirrel this past week and not much else.

Kathleen Tracy of A Sentimental Quilter is hosting a mini mystery.

I've made her mysteries in the past and they are always fun to make. This will be a row quilt. Three rows done, two to go. I pulled out my reproduction scrap bin, this little project will barely make a dent. The nine patches were kinda fun to make - it's tempting to cut all my scraps into 1.5 inch squares. Or maybe not.

I haven't cut the background for Wind Drifter yet. I hate making the first cut into a three yard piece of fabric - so very awkward to maneuver.

 

I've completed all the in-the-ditch quilting on the little basket block. I want to practice some feathers and other designs in the basket and borders.

But I'm still having tension issues. It is just a practice wall hanging so the back doesn't really matter but I would like to get it right. I ordered a Towa bobbin tension gauge that should be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully that will help resolve the issue.

I'm like everyone else and am boo-hooing that Joann's is closing. Most items are still only 20% off but they finally reduced their flannel to 40% - two yard minimum. 

I bought a few four yard cuts. Three of them were end of bolt and the last bit wasn't a full yard...maybe 7/8 yard...they are still giving a remnant discount.
