Two Sister's Quilt: Update 11/5/2022

My sister and I are closing in on finishing week one of our annual winter quilt along via technologproject.  Here's what we've gotten done thus far ...


I broke the project down into steps and this is what we did in step one ... a whole lot of cutting!


Step 2 called for cutting and sewing ...


Step 3, called for cutting and sewing too!

This is where we're at right now, we've kept technology hopping sharing pictures, texting, and just plain having fun!

We don't work on it straight through or all the time.  We're taking our time, each working on our own individual time frames, living life and walking away from it when a break is needed!  This project is meant to be enjoyed and not stressed over and that's the way we're proceeding.  No deadlines, just slow and easy ... which fits the both of us perfectly!

This project is also reducing our fabric stash, both of us have committed to using what we have, hence this quilt is going to be scrappy!  I am loving how mine is turning out and I've seen pictures of my sister's; her scraps are working up pretty cute too!

(We chose our pattern from Lori Holt's Vintage Christmas quilt book.)

Until next time,

My second blog:  From This Heart of Mine 

She looketh well to the ways of her household … Proverbs 31:27 

A Working Pantry is a way of life, a lifestyle if you will!

My pantry is intentional, purposeful, simple, practical, frugal and what works for my family.  It’s the food items and household supplies that keep my household running smoothly ready and available when they are needed.  It’s my contribution to our family’s economy and my work-from-home ‘job.'
