January RSC 2024

Hi Quilting Friends,

The color of the month for January is GREEN! Here’s what I’ve been making with my GREEN scraps from my GREEN scrappy basket!

Rolling Stone Block

I just love those little ladybird beetles!

Zip Bag

I’m still debating whether I want to make place mats or zip bags this year. Maybe I’ll make some of each, but this month I decided on a zip bag. Isn’t it fun! I decided to practice my FMQ feathers again, and I remembered how to do it. Yay me!

In other news, I’ve finished stitching my Carolina Chain blocks from RSC 2022 and 2023 together into a quilt top. I’ll post updates as I progress toward a finish, but that may be a while.

Princess Nina is away for a few weeks, as she was due for a “spa day”. I’m hoping that her absence will be brief- I already miss her! Nina (my experienced Bernina 1530) is on backup duty, just in case I have a stitching emergency. I’m back to work tomorrow though, so I’ll have plenty of distractions (aka my students) to hold my attention and occupy my time.

Happy quilting,

Sharon
