Block # 1 ..... Remember me Block

So here is the first Block from the Civil War Quilt....
It is called :   Remember Me
I will say that this is the first time that I have done a Quilt ( Kaye England way ) Where you don't use pins and you don't Iron... I will say it was quite easy and nice .... Learning new things ~smile~


So here is the block pieced out ~smile~  and ready to sew....


Here is the block sewn together... I will say that, That Purple Thang... is my new favorite tool ~smile~


Also Kaye England uses a cheater patch... its something you use to keep your needle down and that way you don't have to keep cutting and having those long threads ~


Okay... only one block on the wall now ~smile~




Here is my fist block , the .... Remember Me Block.....
it was used so you could write a name of someone to remember in the middle ~

A Quilting I will Go ~

I've started a Quilt from a class I joined on Craftsy.com... ~smile~
Its Called :    Re-Piecing the Past    A Civil War Quilt by Kaye England
I'm so enjoying it...
So Here is a few photo's of my Sewing room ... I do still need to clean it up some ... I did have blocks from another Quilt I was working on called a : Victory Quilt... its from World War II ...
The blocks to come are Applique and I'm not to good at that yet...~smile~
So I will finish that another day ~
So here is My Sewing Room :


Blocks on the wall are from the Victory Quilts by Eleanor Burns... its a beautiful Quilt .. I just have to get my nerve up to Applique....~smile~



As you can see ... I do still need to get somethings put away... or at least find more places to put things... I love my home , but there isn't much Storage options...




I do get to look out at the back yard and at all the birds ~smile~ and my flowers and veggies ...


  Wow ~  Its May 2022 So many things have changed.  I'm a new person, I've learned to be Happy again. After losing Arthur and my Mum...
