Hello Everyone,
I've been down for the count for the last 4 or 5 days with a horrible, upper respiratory event. Mr. Joe and I weren't practicing good social distancing, and I caught what he had. Now it's his turn to take care of me.
Over the next few days, I'll be putting a tutorial together for this quilt. It really is fun, and it isn't hard to make.
I'll be sharing tips to get your stripes to line up. Actually this block was a fluke, but you don't know that.
So check back in throughout the coming week for multiple tutorials. I don't want to overextend myself until I'm completely out of the woods. Right now at least I can see through the trees.
I do have a recommendation for those of you that have Netflix. Mr. Joe and I watched the 6-part, true story called The English Game. The show is a worthwhile investment of your time.
My daughter had me laughing the other day on the phone. Those of you who've been following me know my granddaughters are very involved in FFA. Together, the girls are raising four pigs, two goats, and five turkeys. The pigs and goats are at the school farm. Normally, the turkeys are kept at the school in the FFA area. Well, the school is locked up tight. The turkeys are living in my daughter's garage. No matter how clean the girls keep the enclosure, there is still an odor....and they are noisy. My daughter is planning on a very early Thanksgiving this year if the school doesn't open soon. At least they will have food!
Gobble, gobble,
Lynn

Last week, before I was totally knocked off my feet, I posted this picture of Lil' Orphan Scrappy on Scrap Quilt Enthusiasts on FaceBook, and it took off! This is a great quilt to make with all of the little scraps you are finding as you clean out your sewing rooms. The largest piece of fabric you need is 5-1/4". We ALL have a carload full of scraps that size...and smaller.

Looking forward to the tutorials. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteLove using scraps. And yours turned out so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove these star blocks with chevron setting. I have always avoided square in a square blocks because I can never perfect them, so looking forward to your tutorial, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLOL - love picturing those turkeys running around the garage I do feel for your daughter and the smell! hope you feel well soon - always love your quilts - I am working on my last star for my Christmas quilt using your country charmer pattern
ReplyDeleteI loved doing Lil Orphan Scrappy by using up lots of my fabrics from Country Charmer. It was more fun then doing 120 baskets! LOL Hope you're feeling better Lynn....
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and look forward to a tutorial - and I HAVE scraps. Prayers for recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you and Mr Joe are doing better, don't push it, take your time and get well. I am so looking forward to your tutorial as I love every single thing you make.
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn... this is right up my alley. I've always wanted to make this quilt! Please.... get well soon!
ReplyDeleteYippee!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric choices as they coordinate very well. Overall, quilt is pretty. OMGosh, turkeys in the garage. Sounds funny, but it isn’t. Continue to get better.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see another posting, I check everyday and was getting a little worried. Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteHope you are better real soon. I'm looking forward to your tutorials. That quilt has always been one of my favorites of yours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Looking forward to the tutorials.
ReplyDeleteHaving made Little Orphan Scrappy, I can say it's fun and not hard at all! Just wish I had used up all my scraps LOL! Your daughter should leave the garage doors open with some netting in place - the smell and noise will be more than enough to keep the virus away!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Joe a speedy recovery! Bob says "think Blueberries"!
