Good Day, and happy holidays! I am back to my blog after a busy time at my day job. I want to record 2 new starts, that will become 'official' UFO's after the first of the year.
These patterns are from the book Preserving History: Patchwork Patterns Inspired by Antique Quilts by Julie Hendricksen. First, a snow ball type block, in fabric from around 1890 - 1900:
Blues, reds, wine fabrics, and shirtings. Blocks finish at 4 inches so a bit of work is ahead of me.
Then, another pattern from the same book:
Same fabrics, with some earlier reds, and browns, and double pinks. Each white square of shirting fabric is cut at 3 inches to finish at 2.5 inches. Lots more cutting and sewing here too! I'll need quite a bit of cutting to get to a reasonably sized quilt top.
Is anyone having a linky party this week? I'll find out.
Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.
I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

they look like great new projects
Very nice, Viridian.
What lovely new projects! I'm a sucker for double pinks. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
Forgot to say, Merry Christmas! I hope yours is filled with love.
Very nice new starts! I love Julie Hendricksen's quilts and books. Once or twice a year I take a trip to her shop in Sun Prairie. The shop samples are inspiring, and of course I can stock up on gorgeous repro fabric!
Yay for new projects! I got a lot done last year but I do love new projects.
Happy sewing!
Those are great new projects!!! LOVE the colors you are using!!
