Remember this? ~ Little Basket Quilt

Here is a finish from 5 years ago. I still love this one! Enjoy!

I’ve finished my little basket quilt!

It actually ended up larger than a lot of my little quilts. It is approximately 25 by 29 inches, too big for my doll bed. Here are some pics before washing.

The vintage black coat I started with had this one brown stain on the corner of the basket.

When I took this photo of the back, I realized I missed a line of quilting.

Here are after washing pics.

The stain is lighter, but definitely still there. I’m okay with that.

I machine quilted this on my longarm, Friday.

Have a great day!

Oops!

I needed a break from packing, so I decided to make a few 9 patches for the Mini 9 Patch IG Challenge.

But I used the wrong die, so these are two big. Ugh.

I didn’t want the rest of my cut pieces to go to waste, so I ended up making bow ties out of them.

I used these dies from my AccuQuilt 5” Qube and Companion set.

These little bow ties finish at 2 1/2 inches.

I don’t know how many I’ll make, but it is a nice break from the chaos.

Have a great day!

Goodbye, Friday!

My beloved friend, Friday, has been adopted.

I still have Harry 2 out in Arizona.

I may keep looking for a new home for him as well. I told myself, if I sold them both, I could get something new.

I tried out a few at the AQS show last fall, but there are a few more I want to try before making a decision. I’m in no rush. I’ll have plenty of unpacking to do when we get back to AZ.

Have a great day.

This and That

I picked up this weird piece of fabric at Goodwill.

It kind of hurts my eyes!

The last puzzle I finished in AZ.

I love eating outside! I’m ready to do this again soon.

This was my top nine photos from Instagram last year.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Improv Mini

I did most of the stitching on this while sitting with the mister when he watched TV. It was a fun little make!

In the next photo, you can see the stitching I originally did in the red triangle. I hated it. I stitched the rest and then took that part out.

This is what I ended up with. Much better. I did find that random stitching like this is harder than it looks.

And it looks terrible on the back! Yuck!

But overall, I rather like this little bit. It finished at about 7 by 10 inches.

The texture is wonderful.

Have a great day!

I’m so pleased with how it turned out. It is approximately 76 inches square.

What is going on?

They say things get worse before they get better. I’m beginning to see “better”!

Some progress has been made.

To this:

To this:

Just don’t look at the rest of the room!

Mr. Wonderful and I have been back in Michigan working on getting our house ready to sell.

We feel a bit like Noah getting the ark ready. We are packing, but have no idea what comes next or where we will land.

Have a great day!

Another Runner!

This is another table runner I made using this June Tailor Quilt As You Go kit from AccuQuilt .

I wanted something bright and fun, so I broke out this jelly roll of Kona solids.

There were so many options, I had a hard time deciding!

Here is the back.

Ta daaaa!

There are so many Quilt As You Go options on the AccuQuilt site. You should try one out! They have kits for bags, placemats, quilts etc.

Have a great day!
