I really have to get some organization done in the sewing room. I started with some bins and boxes of vintage stuff that I never unpacked. This is only a small portion.

I pulled out these pieces in the process. They kind of go together.

I think I will press them and see if I can figure something out.

Have a great day!

This next installment of quilt show photos, starts with my favorite piece in the show!

How lovely is this? Embroidery and thread painting.

Have a great day!

This month has been all about finishing UFOs. Just not my UFOs. 🤣

All of the above quilts were made from thrifted blocks. I’m glad I was able to turn them into quilts that someone can use.

Have a great day!

I’ve made a few Half Rectangle quilts over the years. I’m thinking of making another one.

Here are the ones I’ve made already.

I need to make a wedding quilt for a couple that love mid century modern style. I picked up these solids to work from:

I’ll also add a background solid, probably a cream color.

I’m taking my inspiration from the black and red quilt above. I really should get cutting, but I need to source my background fabric first.

Have a great day!

I’d rather make a whole quilt than sew on a label! Our quilt group makes it as easy as possible with these labels from Spoonflower.

I press under the edges and appliqué them on.

And it never takes as long as I think it will!

My last label was a special one.

Have a great day!

Here are some more quilts from the recent Arizona Quilters Guild Show. Enjoy!

I joined AQG last fall, but didn’t enter any quilts in the show this year. It was a lovely show; although, it was definitely crowded. Here are some of the quilts that caught my eye.

It was difficult to get good photos. I will have a few more posts showing more pieces coming up.

Have a great day!

I decided to use this background fabric.

I got my triangles cut and set up at the kitchen table. I’m dog sitting and this makes it easier to keep an eye on the pups.

So far, so good!

Have a great day!

I’ve been making these blocks as a leader/ender project.

I need to decide how I want to set them. Here is option 1.

And option 2.

Hmmm… not sure yet.

Have a great day!
