Sally Post Part 2 and More

I met my goal for February on stitching three more Sally Post blocks.

I also stitched another of the "Bright Idea" blocks.


And two blocks for "A Tisket, A Tasket".  I know it has been a long time since the free patterns were offered.  I prepped the first two months blocks but never stitched them.  About time that I did.  I think most people have done all of their blocks and have finished quilts long ago.

I am on a roll right now doing applique.  More to show soon.

You do amazing work! Love what you have to show for all your time.:)

If it makes you feel any better, I think I did the first 6 or 7 of the Bunny Hill basket blocks and then ran out of steam. I should pull mine out and see what I have left to do! Beautiful work, Karen!

Just how many applique projects do you juggle at a time? They are all beautiful, but I especially like those whimsical basket blocks. Very cute!

Anne said...

Wow, you are on a roll. But then, you're always on a roll! :) Love them all.

Funny you should mention the Tisket A Tasket blocks because I was just thinking about them last night as worked on Anne's block for the Moda Friends blocks and was really enjoying hand stitching the basket handles on my baskets. I enjoyed doing those blocks but, we moved after I had done a few of them and I never finished them, maybe I should dig them out. Your projects are all looking very nice!

Lovely!

Marsha said...

Very pretty blocks, your applique is beautiful! I saved the patterns for 'A Tisket, a Tasket' but never got started. If I didn't already have so many projects to get finished, I would join you. Maybe I will catch up in a few months. I will be watching to see your progress.

I think those "A Tiskit.." blocks are just adorable! Especially the snowman & stars--just so cute.

Colleen said...

Everything is looking great! I still have those basket block patterns too. It is on that 'someday' list that I keep mentioning :o)

Carrie P. said...

looking good. I pulled out my basket blocks the other day. I have two left to make but I decided to work on something else in March. Maybe April!

Purple Pam said...

Your blocks are great. I like your basket blocks. I have the patterns also but have not started any yet. I promised myself I would keep up each month, but that did not happen.

Janet said...

You're so focused and have achieved a ton of appliqué there. The blocks are looking wonderful.

Sharon said...

Keep posting your Sally blocks, I've got the patterns, just not the time. Grrr. I have one other applique ahead of this one, but your blocks are darling, i do love the setting tri's you chose,very nice.

Your various applique projects remind me of how I work. I usually have 2-4 BOMs going. I prep 1-3 months worth and then spend an entire week appliqueing all of them. It makes a break frin piecing and quilting. Oh, and it was fun the see the Tisket/Tasket blocks again. I love mine.

Quilt Hollow said...

Surprise! Here I am! As always you amaze me with just how much you work on and finish...loving it all.

Barb said...

You are an applique' queen! You have gotten so much done. Lovely work!

Dawn said...

You are on a roll!!
Love all your blocks.

Ruth said...

They are all looking great! And, no, not everybody has finished the "A Tisket, A Tasket" quilt. I think I have about 8 baskets done, so I'm a little ahead of you, and I hope I can get them finished this year. They are on my list, anyway. Good luck with yours!

Podunkpretties said...

You're ahead of me on the Tisket Tasket quilt, mine are still in the binder...someday!

you always have such great projects going on. I'm happy to see you're doing A Ticket, A Tasket. I made one and it is one of my favorite quilts. I hate to take it down for 'rotation' in my living room.

paulette said...

You are always on a ROLL!! Incredible work!!

Pat said...

Not me! I think that I did the first block twice once with wool. That is as far as I got and I really liked that project. Maybe some day..

Meredith said...

If it makes you feel any better - I have not yet made a start on A Tisket A tasket!!!
