Calendar Circles

Several years worth of sporadic hand applique, hand piecing, hand quilting, hand assembly and hand finishing here!  Although it's not elaborate or fancy, this little quilt has personal significance, and I will be keeping it for myself.

Done!!

Slow Sunday Stitching

Calendar circles: I've been focused on other things this weekend, but I did manage to get the February circle prepped and appliqued.  I need to get both of these blocks settled onto backing and proceed with hand quilting.  This will be a quilt-as-I-go project.  I'm enjoying the cute fabrics!

Slow Sunday Stitching

I'm launching a new handwork activity this week ...

I've been appliqueing the first block of a 30s-repro calendar quilt.  This will also be a hand quilted project, using big stitch and perle cotton.

 My version , inspired by this photo, will have twelve monthly blocks made up of 1930s-style  seasonal novelty prints. 

I have, among other available fabrics, a complete set of Judie Rothermel's Through the Year fabric line dating back to circa 2003.  My 30s stash is very extensive.

At only one block per month, this will develop at a

'Slow Sunday' pace :)
