I love the Great Lakes! The mister and I spent some time at Lake Michigan on our recent trip.
The rock hounders were out in full force taking advantage of the beautiful day.
And yes, I picked up my fair share! I was on a mission to find Septarian Nodules, also known as Lightening Stones. They are the brown ones with white streaks in the box below. They don’t look like much until you cut them open to see the “lightening “ inside.
We did wake up to this one morning. 😱
Have a great day!
Mr. Wonderful and I just returned from a quick trip to Michigan. We hit up some antique stores while we were there. I saw some fun quilts and thought I’d share them.
Not a quilt, but a way to use scraps? For $65, I was not impressed.
This was cool! I think it would be a fun touch to a family room or home office.
Are any of you old enough to remember these New Years Eve noisemakers? My grandpa owned a tavern when I was little and used to kids would get the leftovers after NYE.
Have a great day!
I am keeping up with my two block per week goal.
Here is all of them so far.
They will eventually be set with alternate plain blocks like this.
Have a great day!
This was shared on one of my rock groups by the maker and used here with permission. It is not my work.
Happy Resurrection Day!
I want to make a quilt to commemorate the 250th birthday of our nation. I came across this panel that I’ve had for a while. It seems fitting!
My grand dog Charlie. He’s smiling because he knows I’ll rub his belly.
I think this every single day about my Willy.
Truth.
My hubby made a fidget toy on one of his 3d printers.
Have a great day!
“And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.””
Matthew 27:33-37 NRSV
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!
