My Hand Quilt-A-Long project is The Grandmother’s Flower Garden. The plan was to make it into a quilt for my bed, but that was vetoed by the hubby as he really likes the knit one I made ages ago. Now the plan is for this quilt to be a table cloth. I’m actually quite happy with this as it will be seen much more often! This is where I was at the last update:

This is where I am now:

Three rows almost complete.

I just have this little bit of green to add and then I’m ready for the next row.

This is the way it will sit on the table. I think I only have two or three more rows to go before the piecing is finished. I’ll be picking the next flowers in a day or two.

This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another.  If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.

I spent a fair amount of time with Grandmother’s Flower Garden this time. This is where I was last time.

I needed to attach that row of 3 flowers to the row above and then add the green hexis around the edges.

The two rows are attached and all the green hexis are in place.

These are the next four flowers that are going to be attached. I can’t wait to see how they will look attached!!

Lots of stitching is happening here, but not on Grandmother’s Flower Garden. She looks exactly the same as our last update.

I’m going to have to buckle down and get working on it!!

Wow!! It’s finally 2021! Let’s hope for some improvements on all fronts this year! Today it is time for the first HQAL update of the year.

I have worked on this VERY little as of late. Life and Christmas got in the way, but now I am back at it. I am working on finishing with the green hexis on this row and then can add the next row of flowers for this table cloth.

Yesterday I was working on getting the last of them added. Only a few more to go!

The last month or so has been focused primarily on gifts for the holidays. My poor HQAL, Grandmother’s Flower Garden, is sitting gathering dust patiently awaiting my attention. Here is where I was the last time I posted:

I think that I will have progress to show for the next update!!

It’s time to update on the Grandmother’s Garden Quilt for the hand-quilt-a-long. This time I did spend some time with her:

This is the new layout. I’m almost done with the green “vines” for the first strip and have the second one ready to attach.

This is how it will lie on the table. Thank you everyone who has been so encouraging as I’ve been working through what to do with this. Taking it apart and putting it back together was definitely the right decision.

I’m also sharing at Kathy’s Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching. It’s so funny because Sunday is not generally a day I can stitch. The hubby has no work and the kids have no school so we can usually be found out and about hiking or playing games or something else like that. My stitching is usually during the week.

I’ve done a fair amount of stitching on the Grandmother’s Flower Garden:

One of these flowers was almost done, the rest were completed for this three week update.

This one is in process. I’m in love with those cute little owls!

This is my favorite from this batch of flowers.
