2021 Monthly Recap: September

Back to school for the kids and a strong start to my sewing month, having tons of fun sewing up Zephyr quilts and finishing my summer scrap top!  The second half of the month got a little crazy with real life stuff and sewing unfortunately had to take a backseat to that.  But I am super excited about the Zephyr pattern and already planning round three of sewing (just have to finish the pattern editing first)!

Quilts Started
Sew Happy Mini Quilt - A new Fat Quarter Shop quilt-along making a fun table-runner sized quilt from blocks featured in Lori Holt's Spelling Bee book.  I get a kick out of the funny-looking tag on top of the "S" - that will disappear after the top border is sewn on!

Quilt Progress (5 WIPs touched)

Summer Scrap - All done! Such a fun summer project, but it was starting to take over my design area and I am happy to move on to other projects. This one is waiting for pickup at the longarm quilter's - this is the teaser picture she sent to encourage me to come pick it up.

Rainbow Blossom - This quilt was originally a quilt-along, but of course I went off-track.  My version was missing a block in the lower corner, and when I saw Kristy's new Evening Star pattern, I knew it was what went there!  I had fun sewing it with a mix of solids and Kristy's new fabric line, Dream.

Sudoku - The last block I made is the Zephyr-inspired mini-pattern I designed for my memory scrap quilt.  I loved it so much I decided it needed to be included here (lower right corner, black diamond with a white cross).  All the blocks are done, but the blue is a little too extreme for me so I need to alter those blocks slightly.

Blocks made for both my memory scrap quilt and leaders and enders quilt.

Miscellaneous Accomplishments

Lots of miscellaneous sewing this month. I made blocks for my guild's community sewing quilt and masks for my kids.  I was hoping to finish two cross-stitch projects, but with the sewing slow-down I didn't get to it.  All on the list for next month, along with the new pattern release that I'm so excited about!
