Is it a project if it is in a project box? I was not planning to start a new quilt. Nor was I planning to start a new project. But on a zoom party with Chooky and friends the other night, I got coerced into cutting out a few Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses pieces. Several of the girls there were working on their blocks as we chattered from around the world for hours and hours.
I located the book I bought at the last Shipshewana Retreat I attended nearly 3 years ago. It was in the first place I looked. Fancy that.
Then I found the EPP papers I had purchased back in 2015
For now I have cut out many elongated hexagons using left over fabrics from the Betsy Chutian collections I have. I like the softer look of these reproduction colours.
So, it is not a new project started in 2022. Nor is it a Block of the Month or Block of the Week. I will work on it when I work on it. Probably on zoom meetings with friends from around the world.
Blessings,
Chris

Hi Chris. I, just like you, are careful at how and when I start something to earn that PHD. What you are doing works well. Nearly every year I start something in December so as not to be required to finish it in the coming year. You and I do pretty intensive projects that take so so so much time. Starting what we start is always going to take awhile to make.
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing! Happy New Year!
Have fun stitching these blocks! I enjoy EPP but for some reason this quilt didn't click. I made 6 and my Lucy Boston quilt is finished! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Did the template come with those purchases as well! Looks like a great project to pick up when the mood strikes.
ReplyDeleteThe template and papers were purchased separately but from the same online shop. Picking it up easily will happen but first a lot of prep work. I have cut enough of hexies so far for 4 blocks.
DeleteChooky and Lou will be pleased to have someone else making the Lucy blocks…
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing yours…
Chooky has a convincing way about her! :-D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stitching project, hope "they" don't talk me into any hand projects!
