My plaid Irish Chain quilt is done.
As a reminder, I used my GO! Irish Chain Die for this.
Click here to go to the site if you are interested in getting one for yourself.
I kept the quilting simple and used a solid backing.
I love it when I have extra binding ready to go.
Now I just need to add a label and it will be ready to donate.
Have a great day!
I had completely forgotten this quilt, until I found it while looking for something else. Enjoy!
My challenge quilt is done.
I’m not thrilled with the quilting. Red or black thread would have been better, but I used what I had on hand.
I do love the backing fabric. I used a facing instead of a binding for this one.
It ended up about 30 inches square. I learned a lot making this. I might just do it again!
Have a great day
My leader/ender project from my temperature quilt leftovers has been growing slowly.
These are all the pieces I have left to work with.
I have no idea what the next step will be, but I love it so far.
Have a great day!
I don’t remember where or when I picked up this yard of fabric.
The strips are five and a half inches wide.
This is the info on the selvedge.
I wonder what I could make with this bit. Have you ever used a fabric like this?
Have a great day!
Moving right along here. I got the blocks all done at the quilt group sew day last week.
I am really loving this die. You could make a whole quilt with all light blocks, all dark blocks, or half and half as I am doing. And it would be such a great alternate block.
I think it would be really cool with a scrappy background and a consistent solid chain. Hmmmm….
Have a great day!
Winslow
Gracie
Penny
Wait, what?
Yes, that is a new face. My pretty, little, copper Penny.
Mister Wonderful knows what a tough summer this has been. Losing Harry was hard. When I held this sweet four pound girl, I fell immediately. He was signing papers so fast, I hardly knew what happened!
She is a precious little baby. She is half chihuahua and half dachshund, also known as a chiweenie.
I tried to get a photo with Gracie for size comparison. She can walk under Gracie’s belly without touching. They are getting to be great buddies.
Have a great day!
My recent haul from Goodwill. How can I pass up Anna Maria Horner, Denise Schmidt etc?
Our weather lately.
This is so me. I always think the best part of going anywhere, is coming home.
This is our Gracie. 🤣
The mister teases me sometimes about getting a Bronco.
Have a great day!
I decided to call this small quilt Flagstaff. One of the things I love about Arizona, is the varied terrain and climate. This reminded me of the pine forests up north.
Instead of binding, I faced this quilt.
I have a tutorial on facings here.
I haven’t done any matchstick quilting in a while.
Ta daaa!
I’m quite pleased with how this turned out.
Have a great day!
I’ve been thinking about this quilt lately. I’m not even sure where it is! So I thought I’d share it again. Enjoy!

I finished her off!
It is with great relief that I present to you, Calamity Jane.
Her piecing is humble.
Her quilting is simple.
And she did not want to cooperate for pictures.
Rebellious child.
I decided to move ahead, even though my palette is rather boring. I have enough blocks cut out for a wheel chair quilt.
I decided to go with the higher contrast fabric.
They started is half done. 😊
Have a great day
