Renewal

It's a new year, and time to start fresh. Out with the old, in with whatever comes next.


Last week I finished up a few projects, organized my sewing space, cleaned the rest of the house, and updated my fabric inventory spreadsheet. From the looks of that, I need more time to stitch!


Today's featured quilt is one I finished in November. It's an attic window design, using soft sage green stripes with cream and natural muslin. Combining the chisel die with squares and triangles make this block easy to construct.  


Renewal

Quilting is emphasized with a triple serpentine stitch in a green variegated thread. The alternate rows are in cream thread using a notched stitch. I named this 54” square quilt Renewal.


Here's to a calm and relaxing new year!


Accuquilt dies used:

55735 Chisel 2¼” x 4½”
55147 Half square triangle 2¼”
55395 Square 2¼”
55805 Half square triangle 5”
55032 Strip 3 ½”
55017 Strip 2 ½”


I own many yards of  fabric, 
therefore I NEED to sew!
