FALLING LEAVES CHAPTER TWO AND TILDA SCRAPS COMPLETELY DE-STASHED

 A couple of weeks ago I start on a new quilt for myself call Falling Leaves. https://donnaleeq.blogspot.com/2025/11/falling-leaves-chapter-one.html.  I finally got the first appliqués fused on to the back ground and have started appliquéing them. 

While I have a pattern I have found that placement of the vines, flowers, and leaves is a bit of a layout difference.  The pattern is for a table runner and this is going to be the center of a 50" by 50" quilt, that will hang on the wall in our dining room during the fall season.

I was able to machine appliqué down two flowers.  I used a blanket stitch and matching colored thread.   

My daughter visiting from Colorado helped me finally de-stash a bin full of Tilda fabrics.  This is one of the quilts she used to help me rid myself of them.  It will go to my charity group.  She was very clever and used up lots of small scraps doing the wonky 6 inch blocks. 

This 36" by 36' baby quilt was the very last one that finished off the rest of them.   It also will be a charity quilt with a border using the last of the yellow fabric on the quilt top.

TILDA SCRAP PROJECTS

This past week I have accomplished almost nothing in the sewing room.  With family visiting, and several holiday gatherings I don't think I have even been at home much at all.  A bit of Christmas shopping done and that is about it.  

Our oldest daughter is visiting from Colorado for two weeks then returning home on the 20th.  She was also here in June and I sent her home with a pile of Tilda scraps.  She brought this little quilt top out with her to give to my charity group.  It only measured 33 by 38, so we decided it needed some borders.

I still had some Tilda yardage and was able to cut enough 4.5" borders and binding for it.

What was left was Tilda dots, so I threw this baby quilt top together, that will measure 36 by 36 and some bindings in the dot colors and I think we have finally managed to completely eliminate the Tilda scraps.

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS AND A DOSE OF CUTENESS.

I have not accomplished much of anything this past week.  Spent more time getting Christmas wall hangings and table runners out for the holiday.

My Christmas runner came back from the quilter this week.   

She did a lovely job of quilting it.  

I got the center portion of my fall wall hanging completed from last week's start on the project.  

These are the last couple of appliqués for it that I am finishing up with.  Just have another 16 leaves to prepare and some bias vines to make and I will be ready to start putting them onto the center piece.

We had Thanksgiving at our youngest daughter's home.  Mommy cat had 7 kittens a few weeks ago.  This is four of them, way too cute.  Had a hard time resisting taking one of them home.
