County Clare on a Slow Week

Bonnie's County Clare leader-ender project is my L-E too. I called mine Shallow Pond. I got questions regarding how to spin those pieces so the unit lays flat. Not saying this is THE way to do it (as Bonnie does it differently) but it is how I do it.

Like Bonnie, I keep the "long" white piece vertical and sew a green piece on top. I sew the green piece first, on top, when I sew it to the middle part of that unit. For each side. 

The seams of the middle part (white green white) are folded towards the green bit. 

Twist the two seams.

I didn't take a picture of the blue section by itself but you can see here that the seams are also folded towards the dark (blue). When the two section join, the seam in the middle can easily twist. 

The same goes for the last seam. The three seams spin easily and the block is flat. The picture is not on its side. It's just the photographer inability to take a straight photo, haha. 

Ta-Dah! 

My sewing machine had a rendezvous with the Doctor this week. I busy myself with other things. 

Stained Glass blocks await their white triangles. I needed more white bits. 

This drawer is full of "neutral" strings. The pile on top of the drawer was in the drawer too. Yes, it was very squished. I removed only the strips that were approved to join the Stained Glass blocks. After a good 30 minutes, the drawer's load had diminished considerably. 

The white strings on the right side were set apart. They are very long and will be used as the middle strips in a string quilt I want to do. Eventually! (Don't we all know that song?) Now, the table is full of white bits and no machine to sew them, lol. 

Ohio Star Shadow got some attention too. One block is quilted and started the next one on the left. Slow and steady, it is moving along. 

The machine came back home(finally!). It sounds like a brand new one! I'm so happy. I will quilt those little baby quilts in an effort to get some projects out of here. I might sew all through the night. Lol. 

In case you are wondering, the answer is no. I am not doing Bonnie's mystery quilt but I sure am keeping the instructions. You know, in case someday I run out of quilts to do. 🤣 

Enjoy your week.
