Unquilting

 
Did you have a nice Christmas? I did. My niece and her family came for dinner and presents on Christmas Eve. Just mom and me on Christmas Day...and lots of leftovers.

No sewing was done last week. But I did do a lot of prep work.

All of the units for the Aunt Daisy blocks were laid out on the design wall. They are now all grouped together and are ready sew. Goal is to finish them by the end of January.

Got the borders cut out for the flannel quilt. Not sure about the cream pop border but that was what was in the kit.

Donna made the utility bin. It still needs the raw edges finished. The binding is made. I'm hoping to attach it this weekend. Machine sew one side then hand sew the second side.

Found a thread color to finish the estate sale Christmas placemats (color matches better in person). I probably won't work on them until next Monday at my guild meeting.

And then there is the unquilting...

This is my thrift store find from May 2023. I have spent a lot of time slowly taking out the little itty bitty quilting stitches. I've probably worked on this about six hours already and have only removed about a quarter of the quilting. Please don't hate me for removing the hand quilting. I love this quilt and really want to turn it into a finished quilt.

I hope you all have a very Happy New Year!
