In the packing and unpacking, I’ve found many of my very early quilts. This is one of them.
It has very early reproduction prints from Fons and Porter.
I hand quilted it and it was my favorite quilt for a long time.
I added that bit of appliqué in the middle because it looked empty to me. That might have been the first time I did any hand appliqué.
Have a great day!
I’m sure you saw this coming…. I had to do some serious rearranging. The mister helped me stack these basket units. That created more floor space, but I had to move them to a different wall so they wouldn’t be in front of the windows.
That meant the dies got moved, so then the cutters needed to be moved.
Two islands worked well in my sewing room in Michigan, so I thought I’d try that here. I think I like it, but the cabinet the Bernina was in had to go.
I’m sure you’ve noticed all the boxes under the tables…..someday I’ll get to those. But I won’t be shopping for fabric any time soon.
I cannot work in a messy space. This is still a lot messier than I like, but I think I can sew a bit now.
Looks like I need to work on those carts next to the long arm.
Have a great day!
I finally got around to piecing the strip for December.
And I have a plan for the layout.
Now I need to cut the background bits and get this thing together!
Have a great day!
WAIT! Hold the presses! After I wrote and scheduled this post, I had a conversation with my friend, Kelly. She had the brilliant idea to add the temp scale and a few other things to the top. So I’m rethinking all of this. Stay tuned.
I ordered this newer AccuQuilt die and received it last week.
I don’t have a plan for it yet, but had to try it out. I’ve always found curves to be scary. This is what the die looks like.
Perfectly cut pieces!
Not so perfectly sewn, but I think with a bit of practice, I’ll get there.
Here is a look at the back.
Have you tried anything new lately?
Before I go, I wanted to let you know about this deal from AccuQuilt .
This is a great chance to stock up on mats and things.
Have a great day!

The plan for today is to finish the hand stitching on this binding.
I was thrilled to find this binding ready to go in my stash. There may have been better choices, but it’s hard to beat using something already made.
Have a great day!
Another week has flown by! I’m happy to say the box pile has been somewhat reduced. My sewing room is much more crowded than I like though.
I picked this book up at Goodwill and I have been really enjoying it.
I finished a great puzzle this week. Sadly, it was missing a couple pieces.
I saw this and it really made me think.
Happy Mail!
Have a great weekend!
This was a fun project and very quick!
Here are my three pillow tops, all made with my hand dyed fabric.
This is the envelope style backing.
Ta daaa!
I know the colors aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it works in my southwest home.
Have a great day!
I added borders and loaded this on the frame.
I decided Baptist Fans would look good on this. And they did!
Until I messed up the alignments. That lead to some grumbling and ripping.
But it’s now done and ready for binding.
Have a great day!
This deal from AccuQuilt is too good not to share!
