A bit of Piecing

There are many things that keep me busy.  Some of them would not be interesting or fun to write about. So days go by and I realize I haven't posted in a week!  For those who have asked/wondered, I am fine. 

I have two nice sized panels ready for the quilt I am slowly making.  I am considering adding a third panel to make the quilt bigger.   I will quilt these in sections and then join them.  I find that if the piece is too big, it is harder to quilt on my domestic machine.  

For the potential third panel,  I have made the following pieces.  Of course I will need a lot more to make the panel.  I find that sewing these random scrappy pieces is fun and relaxing for me. I try not to think about it much when I am doing it. Rather, I let the available fabric help make the choices.  FYI-the  "available fabric" is whatever is close enough to reach at that moment. 

First up is the largest piece, which is really two pieces that I joined with a strip of black. The left-hand side was made with two strips that had been sewn together.  I chopped and rearranged pieces to get this  look.  Subdividing a long pair of strips can make for quick piecing. 

The next piece looks a bit like a small house.

Apparently I was enjoying the "house-top" shape because this next piece has two of them. 

So there you go,  that is what I have sewn recently.  

I have been doing a lot of reading for pleasure.  

I enjoy mysteries and was allowed to read some that are pre-release.

The last three I have read have been "a book a day" because

I get started and can't put it down. 

Until Next Time,
