This and That

Yep, I’m busy, busy!

Don’t you feel this way sometimes?

In case you need a good dad joke…

Our skies have been just stunning lately!

The partial lunar eclipse was pretty cool too.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Green Dog 2.0

Our newest grandson made his appearance early Tuesday morning!

We are absolutely smitten with him. ❤️

Now I can share his completed quilt!

Daughter #2 has three dachshunds and baby’s room has a puppy theme. Here are two of the three.

I was asked if I quilted the background before adding the appliqué and the answer is yes.

I was on the fence about using this giant gingham for the binding, but I like it.

This next photo shows the truest color.

Have a great day!

Throwback Thursday

I love this quilt still. I really should make another! Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Scrappy Trips

Posted on March 23, 2018 by katyquilts

I finished up my Scrappy Trips quilt a while back. I’m finally getting around to sharing it.

This started with this jelly roll of Boundless Ombré from Craftsy. I originally planned to use this gray for the background. I’m glad I went with the white.

In this next photo, you get a sneak peek at my backing surprise!

I found this at a discount shop a while back and grabbed it as I knew it would make a great backing someday! It was marked 100% Cotton on the selvedge.

I love how it turned out!

Have a great day!

Kitchen Sewing

I’ve been watching my grand dogs while we’ve been on baby watch this week. So I set up for a bit of sewing in the kitchen.

Have a great day!

Remember My UFOs?

I haven’t even looked at my UFOs for this year. Until now. I found this little bin and remembered why I cut these!

They are to go with these.

To make these.

And these.

Now let’s see if I can get a few sewn.

Have a great day!

Progress

I decided to move this from leader/ender to main project status.

The top looks wrong. The darks and lights line up.

I figure that out and did a bit of editing and now it’s on the frame.

I like how it’s looking so far!

Have a great day!

This and That

Our quilt group is going to do a UFO exchange. I’m finally going to get rid of this project! I love the block pattern, but not in love with these fabrics. It does occur to me that I could use my GO! Irish Chain block to make these…but they would be a different size.

Mister and I saw this movie. It was very good. The casting was excellent.

Little Penny is so sweet!

The pups are all getting along well!

This is how I have felt the last few months, but I think I’m on the other side now.

“Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭14‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Have a great day!

Take a Walk With Me

A walk around my backyard, that is!

I love all the textures of the cacti.

Palm trees always delight me.

This narly thing is a totem pole cactus.

Limes!

A few rock finds.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday

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!
