Memorial Day Crafting: Embroidery & Quilt Blocks

I have been working on this and that.  Mostly embroidery work for the “Flowers of the Month Embroidery Club” through Grandma’s Attic Sewing Emporium.  Last month I picked up the finishing kit.  Apparently this was the push I needed to actually get the quilt blocks done.  Since we chatted, last week, I have finished two more quilt blocks and started a third.  I had lots of time to work on blocks while on our Memorial Day trip (but more on that later).

I started this quilt block, in March, while visiting my brother and his family in North Carolina.  I finished it this last past Friday.  It still has the transfer-eze on it.  I hope to get it soaked off and the block ironed tonight.

I couldn’t tell you when I started this block.  It has been partially done for… a long time.  This is the block that I took with me on the Memorial Day trip.  I managed to get it finished.  Yes, the transfer-eze is still on this block too.  I hope to show you the pretty blocks next week alongside these pictures to show the difference.

This is my most recently started quilt block.  I am hoping to have much progress to share with you in next week’s post.

And, last but not least, I managed to finish a pieced quilt block as well.

Not too bad for a week, especially considering how little I was actually home.

What have you been up to, dear readers?  I would love to hear all about it!  How was your Memorial Day holiday?
