KatyQuilts

Here is an oldie from the closet. A lady from my quilt guild gave me a bag of vintage scraps many years ago. She knew I loved scrap quilts and that I would use them. And I did! This is one of the projects to come out of that bag.

I made this one when we lived in France in the late 1990’s. I remember quilting it on my vintage Singer 401 at the dining room table.

There are so many fun things to look at in this quilt!

In fact, I decided to make it a bit of a puzzle and wrote on the back things for the kids to look for.

Sorry to gross you all out with some stains! My kids used this quilt when they were not feeling well!

For the binding, I just pulled the backing around to the front and top stitched it down.

It has some construction issues, but I  still love this quilt. I think I should get it out the next time I am feeling under the weather.

Have a great day

In my rummaging, I found eleven little broken dishes blocks. So why not start another little quilt?

In my parts bins, I found bits to make one more.

Hmmmm….

I found a few more bits I could probably use.

And even more triangles.

This could get interesting. Stay tuned.

I’ve had a little vintage doll quilt pinned for ages on Pinterest. I finally decided to get to it. Here is my fabric pull.

And this is the die I used.

But you could also use this one. it is from the AccuQuilt 4” Qube.

Ready to sew!

Have a great day!

Moving right along here!

I decided to add the dashing to separate the blocks.

I finished the top and got the quilting started!

Have a great day!

Mr. Wonderful and I finally got outside! First, we went up north of Cave Creek and went looking for Jasper. This was one of the roads to the rock hunting area. Not bad, just a bit rocky.

Oscar was totally up for it.

We met with success! I now have lots of beautiful jasper to play with.

We saw lots of flowers thanks to the recent monsoon rains.

Next we headed south a bit.

We visited some Hohokam ruins. It was a bit of a hike, but well worth it.

I do not know how this huge, heavy cactus hangs into the side of this boulder!

The scenery was incredible.

Have a great day!

My latest read.

I love these!

Yes.

A recent rain caused my cactus to bloom!

Have a great day!

I pulled out this project from the guild UFO exchange.

I received the five blocks above plus all this fabric.

I think I may separate the blocks with sashing strips.

I need to figure out how big to cut the edges triangles.

Have a great day!
