Gracie is always stealing my seat!

The mister and I saw this at the theater. We loved it!

So true.

Daughter #3 bought me this for Mother’s Day a number of years ago. We brought it from Michigan. It sure loves Arizona!

I couldn’t agree more with the following statement.

Gulp. Yep. This is me.

Have a great day!

I had to search my own blog to find this! I’m thinking about making another one like it. Enjoy!

I told you this was shaping up to be a quick finish! Daughter #2 and hubby indulged me in taking a few out door pics while out and about.

This top was pieced from two charm packs and some yardage when I was still in Arizona. The fabric is a very old American Jane line called Fairy Tales or something like that. The small squares finish at 1.5 inches. 

I love this backing fabric.

Have a great day

I’ve finished piecing my blocks. It doesn’t take long when there are only two pieces!

And I’m liking this better.

I still want to make one with the layout Wanda used. I might use my African fabrics for that.

Have a great day!

I’ve started piecing these six inch blocks.

This photo is a bit blurry, but I hope you can see how the die notches the corners making it almost impossible to line the pieces up wrong.

This is what I have so far. Meh. Not as nice as Wanda’s. My background is too busy.

And a couple of those blocks likely don’t have enough contrast to make the Final Cut.

Here is another possible layout.

And another.

I shall forge ahead.

Have a great day!

Wanda from Exuberant Color recently made a Fractured Tumbler quilt using Marcia Derse fabrics. You can see it here. I loved it so much that I dug out my MD fabrics and my die! The AccuQuilt GO! Die makes a three inch block.

But they also make a version for the AccuQuilt Studio Cutter that makes a six inch block. That is what Wanda used. I ordered that and it arrived last week. I think this is a die I will use a lot.

I also have a bit of yardage of these two prints.

Turns out I had JUST enough for the blocks I wanted to make.

If you are not familiar with Wanda’s blog, click here and go now! But make yourself a cup of coffee. You are going to be there a while. it’s the first blog I read every morning.

Have a great day!

This made me laugh way too hard! Especially since Mr. Wonderful just installed a backup camera on Oscar, the Jeep.

Finally finished another puzzle. It had three extra pieces and was missing one.

Penny likes to get up on this shelf under the table, but then she can’t figure out how to get down.

Saw this at Goodwill. My Mom had one just like it. Oh, how we loved to play office with it!

Our very first orange. 🍊

Have a great day!

We have been on vacation! We went to Colorado and met up with Mr. Wonderful’s siblings at his sister’s cabin in Colorado. Here is Pike’s Peak.

The sunrise from the backyard.

Saw these on the road up to the cabin.

Gracie loved traipsing through the woods.

We saw lots of wildlife.

Her property is so beautiful!

Winslow and I loved chilling out.

Penny did too.

They were all great little travelers.

Now I’m tired! Have a good day!

Can you tell that I love crosshatch quilting?

Using my design boards.

Now to find a binding. I don’t think this is it.

Have a great day!
