This and That September

The past month has been a busy one for me.
It was mostly spent with family.
Spending time with the grandchildren and their  families.

Spending time with my DH and his airplane.
Here we are at a gathering in Illinois.  Quite a flight from Georgia.
I also managed to get a little quilting done.
If you have any young girls around you know how popular the characters from "Frozen" are.
I made these two little quilts for the granddaughters.

My September Benjamin Biggs block all stitched.






Last months Noah and Matilda blocks.




I have also started stitching on the Di Ford Mystery quilt.
I must say I am not loving this one because of the difficulty I am having getting all this broderie perse appliqué   to fit in the space allowed.


Happy stitching,
Nancy

  5. Beautiful plane! Looks like fun. : )
    I'll bet those "Frozen" quilts are a hit!
    Your applique looks beautiful. I enlarged each one and had a good look. I marvel at those of you who can do this--and do it so well!

  7. Great plane! Is it a Stearman? My dad just sold his Stearman and I was so disappointed. Your Di Ford looks wonderful!!

  8. Gorgeous bi-plane! What fun for you both...I miss those days when my own DH was flying and we would go on adventures.
    Your Benjamin Biggs block is lovely - I am trying to catch up. And your other applique blocks are really coming along too.

  9. So nice to see you have started on the Di Ford Mystery too, and the beginning of it looks quite promising. But you are quite right, it is a real challenge to get all the broderie perse tucked between the bows of the center... I really love your new blocks of Benjamin Biggs and Noah&Mathilda too (which are on my wishlist, especially N&M).
    Kind regards from Holland, from Ageeth

  12. Loved seeing what you've been up to. What an airplane and what a ride! You appliqué is super as always. I had a hard time fitting in the BP appliqué pieces too, but I added what I could and it turned out okay.
