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’ve been thinking about this quilt lately. I’m not even sure where it is! So I thought I’d share it again. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Calamity Jane!

Posted on January 1, 2016 by katyquilts

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

I’ve had this die for a while. I think it’s high time I try it out!

This little bundle would make a nice donation quilt for a guy.

I thought I’d use Kona Stone for the background.

But maybe this is better.

Hmmmm…. Maybe it’s all too boring.

Have a good day

I shared a while back that my local quilt group was doing a Christmas in July project. This was where I was at after our first work day.

At the next work day, we sewed blocks.

And now my little top is on the frame.

I decided on matchstick quilting.

I’m nearing the finish line! Have a great day

Mister Wonderful took me to my first gem and mineral show up in Prescott last weekend. As you can see, I got into a bit of trouble.

The finished pieces I saw there were incredible, but I went looking for rough. I was not disappointed. It will be fun to work with these when it cools down a bit here.

Afterwards, we had to stop in to our favorite pizza place.

Have a great day

I’m thinking about doing something with this orphan piece. I don’t know what, just thinking.

My current read is this cozy mystery. It is mindless reading, perfect for when you can’t sleep.

I made this with one of my grandsons. It’s a good sensory activity.

A good word.

Have a great day
