Before I get into the review of this months projects, did you know it is National Black Dog Day?
Apparently, black dogs are the least likely to get adopted. We love our black dog!
I just had three small finishes this month.
The last one is my favorite.
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!
I finished my blocks!
And even got this loaded on the frame.
Quilting has begun.
Have a great day!
I’ve been unmotivated since returning from my trip. A rainy day helped get me in the mood to sew a bit.
These are real blocks, not an app generated collage.
I think I need about 20 more blocks to get this to a donation size.
I’m quite liking that green background.
Have a great day!
This is so true.
My Pretty Penny.
Did you see this in the news?
Yes, it’s a real story!
I brought this set home from Wisconsin. It belonged to my mom.
A nice drive in the little car.
Have a great day
My little experiment is done. But it went through many revisions.
I kept the quilting simple, just quarter inch lines.
I used raw edge fusible applique. As you can see, the stripes shadowed through.
This gray was already cut for binding.
Ta daaaa!
I should have used a darker green for the leaves and stems.
But it’s fun and it’s done.
Have a great day!
I think this is in my top ten of all time favorite quilts. Enjoy!

This is a most satisfying finish!
I started the appliqué last summer while traveling. The verse is John 6:12. After Jesus had fed the 5,000, he told his disciples to gather up the fragments so nothing would be wasted.
The background of the front is random scraps of muslin. I also used muslin on the back.
I initially wanted a red binding, but I ran out. I am really pleased with this tan. It frames the top without competing.
You can really see the different muslins in this photo.
I’m enjoying this in my family room for the time being.
Have a great day
I intended to sew yesterday. But this girl needed a haircut. My groomer (Daughter #2) is on maternity leave so I did it myself. Dog groomers are worth their weight in gold!
This is after. Not my best work.
While I was working on Winslow, Mr Wonderful took Gracie to the salon. They sent these photos.
She looks so good!
I started grooming my own dogs in 2020 when everything was closed up. I’m out of practice since my daughter started grooming for us. I don’t want this job anymore! I was exhausted after just doing one and cleaning up!
Have a great day.
I woke up in the middle of the night, and knew this needed a tablecloth.
I love that vintage print.
Then I finally started playing with flowers.
Everything is pinned to the design wall. So I have no idea how I’m going to transfer this to my ironing table.
I should have thought of that.
Have a great day!
