I have more little quilts to share with you! Enjoy!

This next quilt was received in a swap.

The photo above and below are front and back of the same small quilt.

This next one was made for me by my dear friend, Zenia.

The mister bought this little one at an antique fair for me.

Have a great day!

My friend wrote a book! And it is so good, I couldn’t put it down. It isn’t just for caregivers, but anyone who is helping elder parents.

I love this cactus in my front yard!

Not to be outdone, my friend, Jolene’s husband also wrote a book! I got this one for a grandchild. It’s so cute!

And here is the real Big Z. He is a desert tortoise and lives in their backyard. He weighs a mere 80 pounds. 😁

Ah….i needed this.

Have a great day!

Just short of a dozen more little quilts from the past to share with you today. Enjoy!

I have collected several little doll beds over the years. I like using them to display my little quilts. Years ago, I also picked up this china doll.

My cousin had one like this when we were kids and I loved it. So when I got the chance as an adult, I bought one!

My kids were not so thrilled, as evidenced by this note I found one day when I was changing the quilt on the doll bed she was resting in.

Bahahaha! It was Daughter #2. I kept it because it always made me laugh. Apparently when we moved, I had the doll and the note also packed in one of these cabinets with my little quilts.

You can just see her green dress there at the top!

More little quilts to come. Have a great day!

I always loved 30s quilts. Here are a few mini quilts I’ve made in this style over the years. Enjoy!

What do you do with all of your small quilts? Quite a few of mine are stored in two little antique French cabinets.

I have a very busy week and not much time in the sewing room. So I thought I’d share just what is hidden in here. It will take several posts.

First, a bit about the cabinets themselves. My parents purchased them at a flea market in France when they visited us there in 1999. We lived there for a couple years and brought them back to the states in our household shipment. My mom gave them to me when she sold her house. Here are some of the quilts inside.

You may have noticed that my cabinet was missing the knob. We removed them when we moved to AZ and I could never find them! Until I took these photos. They were tucked in between quilts.

That’s better!

More quilts and another story coming soon.

Have a great day!

So I got a bunch of squares cut. I have no idea how many. I may have leftovers, or I may need to cut more.

And this is where I’m headed with this project.

It could take a bit to get it to a good size throw quilt.

Have a great day!

Still playing with rocks. I decided to try my hand at making g some crosses.

The gray one broke so it’s shorter than it should be. Cutting rocks is a skill that requires lots of practice!

So true!

We’ve been enjoying spring blossoms.

And a poem from a favorite author.

Have a great day!
