TGIFF Saturday edition...this quilt was finished before Friday, but I had difficulty taking photographs. It's that time of year when it's not light enough in the mornings before work or after work. I fell behind in the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) hosted by Gail @ Quilting Gail earlier this year. Gail shared a parade of quilts made during the quilt along.
Round 5 was rail fence or applique, and round 6 was shoo fly blocks. I decided to skip the final two rounds, but I did add a border and called it a finish. I used Kona Blueprint with a thin strip of Regal.
Did you sew along this year for the 2022 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Jen @ Patterns by Jen? As we come close to the end, I need to start thinking about a layout for my blocks.
I used Kona Aruba and Sage.
As I often share, I use my Hera marker to mark lines instead of a using pen or a pencil. It saves time and energy as you can mark two layers at a time.

The Lined Drawstring Bag by In Color Order is one my favourite patterns. Jeni offers a free tutorial, but you can purchase the pattern which has eight sizes.
I decided to use Nova Scotia tartan to make swag bags for a work conference this past weekend. The Lined Drawstring is such an easy pattern that I underestimated how long it would take to make 28 bags. I filled the last bag at midnight the night before the conference began. 😂
We were hosting participants from across Canada, so we decided to use a small business and choose a Nova Scotia product to go in the bags. Peace by Chocolate makes great chocolate and also supports charity.

Welcome to those who are new to my blog. I live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, and have been quilting for about 20 years. Wow...where does the time go? My first quilt was a flannel rail fence for my nephew's fourth birthday. I have met so many wonderful quilters over the years and have formed new friendships.

A Roll of the Dice is a pattern by Sandra @ Musings of a Menopausal Melon. I finished the quilt top back in June.
This is the 8th block for the 2022 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Jen @ Patterns by Jen. I use these blocks to make donation quilts.
I used Kona Rich Red and Canada Red.
I purchased a new Hera marker. I normally use the thin one, but I like this one.
Alpaca fleece does not have lanolin like sheep and thus can be processed without the use of harsh chemicals and is also very hypoallergenic. Most people that are allergic to wool find they can easily wear soft alpaca yarn.

I forgot to share my July block for the 2022 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Jen @ Patterns by Jen.
I used Kona Morning Glory and Regal.
There were eight square-in-square blocks and some rectangles.
I didn't take any other in-progress photos because the block pieced together so quickly.
This is my August block for the 2022 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Jen @ Patterns by Jen. You can make either 6-inch or 12-inch blocks.
I used Kona Spice and Cinnamon. I use my Hera marker to mark lines instead of a pen or a pencil. You can mark two layers at a time -- saves time and energy.
