Nothing earth shattering today. Just some silly bits.

My new favorite word. 😂

I did finish a puzzle. It was harder than I expected.

I saw this at Goodwill.

Isn’t that sweet? I did leave it for someone else to find.

Have a great day!

I was talking on the phone and wandering around the sewing room at the same time. I grabbed a jelly roll I picked up somewhere and opened it. I was a bit bummed to realize there were only 24 strips, eight of each of these three prints.

Whatever. I hung up and stitched in groups of three. It is really bright!

I have a love/hate relationship with jelly rolls due to the pinked edges.

I’ve even use my die cutter at times to cut them off! I was too lazy this time, so I stitched them as is and squared up my blocks using the 6 1/2” square die from my 12” AccuQuilt Qube.

I don’t care that the strips don’t end up perfectly even. The blocks are all exact and no seams need to match except for the corners of the blocks.

This is the start of my layout.

What a productive phone call! Have a great day!

Well, I got about this far and realized I wanted to make it bigger. It seems I’m always wanting to make bigger quilts!

So I cut and pieced some more. Now I have the blocks for each row clipped together and ready to go.

I haven’t posted about the Quilt Keeper in a long time. I love mine! I really need to get more. I love the new Cascades so you can display more quilts on the same door.

Have a great day!

I love Lotta Jansdottir fabrics! I’ve been looking for a good idea to showcase these prints.

You might remember that I made this quilt, Shark Reunion, from Lotta’s fabric a few years ago.

I got inspired by something I saw on Instagram and I’m off and running!

Stay tuned. Have a great day!

I decided to quilt my little mini by machine, but I’m hand binding it.

I’ve also marked more pieces for my hand piecing project. I think I’ll have the top done by September.

Only seven more rows to add to this, then I can add it to the other half.

Have a great day!

My show is up!

I finally finished the work on this quilt. You can see one piece had to be completely replaced. It’s pretty obvious, but part of the quilt’s story.

I also had to replace bits of binding here and there.

This is do true! We never fully know another person’s story.

How cool is this pillow I found?

The three amigos have enjoyed lots of time together this summer. That’s Lola on the left. She is Winslow’s sister and littermate. She belongs to Daughter #1. They sure have fun together!

Have a great day!

Wow! I can’t believe this post was ten years ago! That’s crazy! Hope you enjoy this post from August 3rd, 2013. Have a great day!

Yesterday was a full day. I drove down to Lansing for a QOV sew day and came home to make dinner and finish the batik quilt. 

It. Is. Finished.

I put it on my bed this morning to take some pictures and the quilting DOES show in the morning light.

The last two pictures show the truest color, though not exact. It is more purple. My bed is queen size and the quilt is not centered on it. I hope to get some better pictures before I mail it out on Monday. Hope she likes it!
