More from the archives. Enjoy!

I’ve been making twosies as leaders/enders.

They turn into foursies.

And now I have decided on the final width of this quilt. I think it will need an outside border.

Time to work on the length. Progress is slow, but any progress is good.

Have a great day!

Here is another installment of little quilts.

This next one was received as a swap quilt.

Have a great day!

Not a lot to show for this month in the quilting department. I tried my hand at wool appliqué with underwhelming results.

This quilt was finished ages ago, but the pattern was released this month. It’s called Checks and Rails and it is available on the AccuQuilt web site for free.

And I can’t forget my only real finish for the month, my Fence Rail quilt.

June will involve a bit of travel so we will see what I get done. We aren’t going to take a big cross country trip this year with gas prices as they are.

Have a great day!

I’ve been getting out my red/white/blue quilts for the patriotic season.

This banner is from my local quilt group. I was elected to the board this year.

I found this cute book at Goodwill. I do think everyone needs a rock or two!

The three hooligans.

Never a dull moment with them around. I love them so.

Have a great day!

Before I share today’s post, I wanted to thank you all for your kind comments and notes about the blog. I would very much miss the interaction with all of you. I’m not going anywhere just yet, but my productivity has gone down so I feel I have less to share. I’m still pondering it all.

Now my small victory for this week!

My top is together! This is a small quilt, just 36 by 48 inches.

It’s a good size for hanging though. Just need to get it quilted and bound!

Have a great day!

Wow! This is an oldie! Published in one of the QUILT family of magazines back in the mid 90s.

Have a great day!

Remember this? I haven’t worked on it in a while. But I finished the last two blocks. It was nice to get this project off the table. Every time I turned on the ceiling fan, the little bits blew everywhere!

I decided to stop after 24. Now I need to decide how to set my blocks. The original looks like this.

I don’t think I like it on point.

But maybe a different background?

I’m going to have to think about this.

Have a great day!

Thank you, God, for all the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Amen
