I want to make a quilt to commemorate the 250th birthday of our nation. I came across this panel that I’ve had for a while. It seems fitting!

My grand dog Charlie. He’s smiling because he knows I’ll rub his belly.

I think this every single day about my Willy.

Truth.

My hubby made a fidget toy on one of his 3d printers.

Have a great day!

“And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭33‬-‭37‬ ‭NRSV‬‬

I really have to get some organization done in the sewing room. I started with some bins and boxes of vintage stuff that I never unpacked. This is only a small portion.

I pulled out these pieces in the process. They kind of go together.

I think I will press them and see if I can figure something out.

Have a great day!

This next installment of quilt show photos, starts with my favorite piece in the show!

How lovely is this? Embroidery and thread painting.

Have a great day!

This month has been all about finishing UFOs. Just not my UFOs. 🤣

All of the above quilts were made from thrifted blocks. I’m glad I was able to turn them into quilts that someone can use.

Have a great day!

I’ve made a few Half Rectangle quilts over the years. I’m thinking of making another one.

Here are the ones I’ve made already.

I need to make a wedding quilt for a couple that love mid century modern style. I picked up these solids to work from:

I’ll also add a background solid, probably a cream color.

I’m taking my inspiration from the black and red quilt above. I really should get cutting, but I need to source my background fabric first.

Have a great day!

I’d rather make a whole quilt than sew on a label! Our quilt group makes it as easy as possible with these labels from Spoonflower.

I press under the edges and appliqué them on.

And it never takes as long as I think it will!

My last label was a special one.

Have a great day!

Here are some more quilts from the recent Arizona Quilters Guild Show. Enjoy!

I joined AQG last fall, but didn’t enter any quilts in the show this year. It was a lovely show; although, it was definitely crowded. Here are some of the quilts that caught my eye.

It was difficult to get good photos. I will have a few more posts showing more pieces coming up.

Have a great day!
