Nine Patch Saturday

Good morning, ya'll. Last week , Kathy of Kathy's Quilts , shared her start on Primitive Gatherings "Oh Say Can You Sew" Mystery Quilt. Seeing how much fun she was having , I had to join in. If you have not seen this, Kathy provides a link to Clue 1 , but you better hurry because  today is the last day.  Each month of the mystery a clue will be given the 1st Monday of the month so Clue 2 will be given Monday May 2nd .  You can also watch Lisa Bongean's Youtube channel , Stitch with Lisa Bongean in which she explains all about it and where you will also find a link to Clue #1. 

Yesterday , I began  piecing strips for my nine patches. 

 Soon I had 31 cute teeny nine patches. 

Clue 2 will be using reds and whites. Eeeh! 

April came and went and I only got in a few pink blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

 Last night , I did get this block pieced.  It measures 16 1/2" unfinished. 

 

Boy, do these need to be pressed . 

Two wee four patches to add to a future quilt. 

I recently had a request to see this little cross stitch.  In a previous post, you may have seen a tad of it. I stitched this piece called Amy Lou the Bunny Keeper last year . 

At the time I was celebrating , my sister's love for animals. Little did I know that we would only have her for a few months longer.  

Many of ya'll know that a lot of my stitches are about my family, but this was the first one that I have done of a living family member at the time. I have vowed that I will never stitch a piece about a living person again. I guess that is the superstitious nature in me.  I will probably share this one in the future, but I will have to wait until my heart finds a bit more peace and my sweet sister whispers in my ear to do so. 

Well, that's my quilting adventure for the day. Have a beautiful day.  Now go create something AMAZING!  Thank you for the sweet visit and as always...

Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

  6. Oh, now I just have to start the new O Say Can You Sew! QAL!!! I have sooo many scraps that I need to do this ASAP! Thank you for the nudge and the link to the YouTube. I hear your sorrow with your sister's passing, I am so sorry, soon may you hear the sweet whisper that you need. My youngest sister is now in the hospital and is not doing well, but with small improvements. Worry and fear and sadness is a thing that is hard to deal with and may we find the peace and blessings that may come. I send you love, hugs and prayers for whatever you need, always. Your friend from Arizona.

  9. Hugs for you dear friend. The loss of a sister is devastating as I know. She will whisper if you will listen. Meanwhile, the Bunny Keeper is such a lovely healing tribute. Thank you for sharing her and your RSC blocks on Wednesday Wait Loss.
