Throwback Thursday

I had completely forgotten this quilt, until I found it while looking for something else. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday

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

Leader/Ender Update

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!

Hmmmm….

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!

Irish Chain

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!

What have I done?

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!

This and That

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!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Flagstaff

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!

Throwback Thursday ~ Calamity Jane

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!

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.

Progress

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

GO! Irish Chain

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
