sew hometown

This is the Sew Hometown BOM Quilt Project from 2019 called Sew Hometown. I pieced the quilt top last year, simultaneously with the Heartland Heritage quilt top. The two quilt tops kept me pretty busy. There is one glaring error in this top, and I decided to just leave it.

Above is the pieced quilt back and below is a group photo of the two quilts that are finished, so far.

Sew Hometown Quilt Top is complete from Jan's Quilts

The 2nd Inspiring Stitches quilt top is assembled. I sewed the BOMs for both years consecutively. This is the top from the 2019 BOM calendar. It went together really fast and I'm very happy with the result. The two variations in this one are the butterfly block and one of the star blocks.

This was finished on Wednesday, photographed on Thursday and posted on Friday! Now to decide on the quilt backs for these two.

Finch Quilt Block from Jan's Quilts

These five 6.5" blocks took forever; not because they were difficult, but because life kept getting in the way of stitching! They are the October blocks for the 2019 Inspiring Stitches calendar BOM.

The old backyard bench that I used for a prop for my quilt/quilt block photos was over 20 years old and falling apart. I replaced it this month with two new red benches. They are a bit smaller but I love red as an accent. The first photo I took was using the bench in partial sunlight, below, not good, Using the bench in the ...
