This top sure didn’t take long. I confess, it isn’t my best work. I quickly moved on to basting so I could do some quilting at the campground. Gotta love stitching outside! I don’t have a hoop here and I … Continue reading →

Another finish! I had fun playing with the quilting on this one. It was a great distraction one night when the mister was in ER for a stomach issue. He’s better now. I actually used crochet cotton rather than perle … Continue reading →

After a few fits and starts, I think I’ve finally figured out a beginning. I’ll probably need to cut more black strips soon. Last weekend, this handsome boy turned ten! I can hardly believe it! We gave him a gift, … Continue reading →

Daughter #1 asked if I had a quilt for a friend that just got married. I probably do, but nearly all my quilts are in AZ. She said their home was all neutrals. I had an idea I wanted to … Continue reading →

These have been hanging around quite a while. I decided to forge ahead without much of a plan. My first step was slicing them into 2 inch wide pieces. I also cut two inch strips of a black solid. I … Continue reading →

Slow Stitching Sunday

Posted on June 16, 2024 by katyquilts

I basted my little Sourdough quilt. I don’t have much for backings, but I think this is fun. It is heavier than quilting cotton. It’s from the stash of my great aunt who passed away at 99. And the stitching … Continue reading →
