Yes, yellow is the color for this month! I did not get started right away this month as I have been doing a lot of applique and gardening. I did get out my yellows to do my three pickledish blocks. Luckily, I worked hard on them all week and got them completed. Then Friday the screw that you tighten to hold the needle broke off. My Husqvarna sewing machine has been incident free since I got her. I am guessing she is somewhere between ten and fifteen years old. But, I am very blessed to have a talented husband who was able to remove the broken screw and a new one has been ordered. Not sure how long it will take to arrive, hopefully before the end of the month so I can get my wonky star block completed.
I really like the yellow version of pickledish blocks and as each month passes I see that I am really going to love this quilt.

Those are really neat- left one looks like a yellow jacket. Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked like a yellow jacket too! LOL I love the lovely surprises we get when we quilt.
DeleteBeautiful additions to your quilt. So sorry about your sewing machine. It is nice to have a handy husband.
ReplyDeleteI agree handy husbands are the best. I really thought it was going to be a bigger problem than it really was. Those screws are so small and to break off flush with the machine, I figured I had really put him to the test. LOL
DeleteI have never made that block, yours are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first pickle dish quilt and I am so glad I finally decided to try them. I am using paper piecing which makes them really easy to do.
Deletethat is one part of the sewing machine that I never thought of breaking! I have had mine come loose though and had a needle break off because of it and dropped into the feed dogs
ReplyDeleteWell, Karen it all started with a walking foot that I purchased and I really don't think it fit properly so it went back to the sewing center. I thought I had really done it this time, but my husband proved me wrong. Sometimes I think he must think I am the biggest dope. LOL
DeleteThis month's blocks are so pretty. How nice to have such a handy husband ... mine is not, but I'm thankful that he realizes that he's not handy ... we're not having to pay someone to come undo his handiwork. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou make me chuckle Kathy! Thanks for stopping by
DeleteOh, so sad to hear about the sewing machine. Hope that part comes in soon and you can be up and sewing again, When I look at the yellow pickle dishes all I want to do is say, "Buzz, buzz." Busy bees, yellow jackets - what ever you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they do like yellow jackets. I think they will add some sparkle to the quilt.
DeleteSuch gorgeous blocks and I sure hope your part arrives ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb! I really enjoyed working with yellow.
DeleteGreat blocks. Love the black and yellow. Sorry about your machine. Yes hope the replacement screw comes quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. One never knows about orders. I am thinking since it is s small part it should come priority mail which means pretty quickly.
DeleteI should have bought the quilt kit. I think an official walking foot will be on order soon.
ReplyDeleteI just love your pickle dish blocks. I must try them one day. Thanks for making them so enticing.

Beautiful blocks! It's going to be a fun quilt when you finish all the blocks.
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh...I'm loving this quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe black and yellow block reminds me of a bumble bee. I so enjoy seeing your different pickle dish blocks as you make them.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing Karen! They are not my usual style, but I am having a lot of fun making them.
DeleteI really do enjoy seeing the variety in your pickle dish blocks! I may have to put them on my list of blocks to make.
ReplyDeleteThey are really fun to piece. Not as hard as they look!
DeleteLove your yellow blocks. They don't look easy to piece.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me Sheila paper piecing makes them quite simple. The best part is I love the way they turn out, so interesting, no getting bored making them.
