Lincoln

Hi Everyone,

I have not been quilting as much as normal yesterday and today.  I really need to do some much-needed housework.  I'm assuming that you don't want to hear about that, so I thought I would share a bit about an ongoing project.

The Scnibble pattern for the Vintage Schnibbles parade this month is Lincoln.

I have been wanting to make this pattern for ages.  Can you see that it consists of star blocks and rail fences--stars and stripes! I even have some perfect charm packs--Old Glory Gatherings.  But then a different idea started germinating in my brain and I have pursued that.  I'm thrilled with how it is turning out.

It is competed and layered and waiting to get quilted.  Hopefully I can get the toilets scrubbed today with enough time left to do some free-motioning.

  4. I feel for you! I was scrubbing toilets and mopping floors myself today. Now I'm just plum wore out. Hope you managed to find some time to quilt! (I didn't.)
