I know I said I was starting Stonefields, but when I got downstairs to my sewing room I saw a pile of nine patches. So I got an idea. Our challenge for the next retreat is to sew something that reminds us of Rebecca Haarer that owns Rebecca's Arts and Antiques in Shipshewana, IN. Somehow I missed the trip to the church cabin where the original quilt is hanging, but the girls that went took photos. Here's my design wall with the blocks that I've sewn so far.
The Christmas cross stitches that you see hanging around the edge somehow didn't make it upstairs with the other pieces of cross stitch that I have in my basket of shame to be finished somehow so I can display them.
This is the photo that one of the girl's posted of the Church Cabin quilt. It's really pretty simple. It's a nine patch of nine patches. The little individual nine patches finish at 3". I've loved this quilt since the first time someone posted photos of it. Several of the girls from the retreat have made their own version of the quilt. I'm still doing handwork at night, but this is my new machine piecing project.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
I hope you're finding time to stitch today.
