I would like to introduce to you our new family member, Harald. He is a homing pigeon who got lost on a race and found it's way into our home instead. We are still getting used to each other but I'm super excited to get to get to know him better and earn his trust.

It’s been a while since my last post… Work has been exceptionally busy and we’ve recently acquired a new family member who I’ll present you soon. For now, I’d like to finally reveal the message in my “patriotic” quilt that I had been teasing.

A little palette cleanser after rushing to finish my quilt for the #dcmqg annual show. I'll reveal the full, finished quilt here tomorrow or Saturday (I think it needs a bit more explanation than I have time to provide today).

Still stitching... About 2/3rds done. I thought this kind of quilting was going to be quick, but I guess you can make it slow if you choose to make the gaps narrow.

Oups! I forgot my monthly marker. It's that kind of a week. My only goal is to finish this quilt and then sew whatever I feel like for the rest of the month 🤪

Last week was crazy busy, so all I managed to do on the sewing front was to piece the back and baste the top of my modern "patriotic" quilt. As this has to get finished by Monday, I'll be spending most of my weekend right here, quilting organic waves with my walking foot.

Progress! Piecing letters is slow... Especially the round ones, many of which are still missing. I'll explain the message (which is in German), once the top is complete.

The frame for my patriotic quilt top is done. Today I hope to piece the lettering that will go inside, so I can sew everything together tomorrow and then start quilting.. This quilt needs to be finished by July 7 the latest... 😬

It's time to return to this project as there is a deadline looming...

This is the result of two rather intense sewing days with @hixsonir during her quick step class (offered through @gothamquilts).

This modern star block by @racinisquilts is such a cool design. It's her take on the Aunt Eliza star (which is a close relative of the Ohio star block), and it's called "Aunt Racini's Star".

Back to the #2021aquiltodyssey sampler. Today's finish is the "Striped Ribbon Star" block designed by Satomi @satomi_quilts. Thanks for the cute pattern!
