I realized I needed more four patches to move ahead with my plan.

But I was out of the fabric shown below that I used for the corner triangles. So I grabbed the moon and Star fabric shown above.

I think this will do nicely.

The obstacles in quilting are really just design opportunities!

Have a great day!

The mister and I went t9 a nearby antique mall this week. I didn’t buy anything, but it’s always fun to look. Here are the quilts things I saw.

These blocks were tempting!

I hope one day that all my quilts look as loved and used up as this one!

Not quilty, but this booth was fun.

Have a great day!

This author was recommended to me by Wendy at Piecefull Thoughts. I loved this book!

This is what Mr. Wonderful thinks of retirement!

We are Detroit Lions fans in our house so I dressed the dogs up for a recent game.

Willy just looks like President Trump. 😂

Happy Veteran’s Day! Especially to my two favorite vets, Daughter #2 and SIL.

Have a great day!

Lori over at Humble Quilts is doing it again! She’s hosting a lovely little quilt along. I’m a bit late to the party, but I’m finally started.

Hers is done all in shirting fabrics and I love it! But I had a bin of scraps nearby and just started cutting those up. Here is part one all finished.

I grabbed squares from my bin of precut squares for part two.

Time to sew. Have a great day!

I’ve had this bin of black, white, and red fabrics hanging out for ages. I knew what I wanted to do with them, I just haven’t gotten around to starting. This bin is the size of a large shoebox.

I grabbed my AccuQuilt Studio tumbler die and went to work. There is a GO! Die that is the same size and shape. I have that one in AZ.

Not bad!

Not wanting to put any pieces back, I grabbed another die and cut up the leftover scraps from cutting the tumblers.

This is the AccuQuilt Studio die I used. This is equivalent to Shape 1 in the 6” AccuQuilt Qube.

All the tiny leftovers went into the trash. I put the squares in my 2” square bin. The tumbler project is on hold for now. But it takes up much less room and it’s ready to go when I am.

Have a great day!

This has been such a fun little project!

I’m sewing my blocks into two different rows.

The stripe in this one is part of a Magnolia sheet I used for a quilt back.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Have a great day!

Mr. Wonderful asked if I had a baby quilt on hand to gift to a former co-worker. I was all out, which gave the perfect excuse to make another! So I dropped everything and started. This is the charm pack I started with.

These two dies are from the AccuQuilt 9” Qube. The square is 5” for a finished size of 4 1/2”, same as a charm square.

I really hate the pinked edges on precuts. I used the square die to trim them off.

This is the extra from 20 charm squares.

Time to make some hourglass blocks. Have a great day!

I have a couple bins like this of vintage feed sacks I’ve collected over the years. I finally decided to start cutting them up to use.

The prints are wonderful!

I decided to ease into things by cutting 5” charm squares.

Then I thought, some of you might enjoy some as well!

So, I currently have 6 sets I will sell. Each set has 30 different 5” charm squares of authentic feed sacks. the price is $30 each and that includes shipping via USPS Ground Advantage in a padded envelope. I will only ship within the US and payment must be made by PayPal.

Please email me at sew4given@aol.com if you would like to purchase a set and include your PayPal email so I can send an invoice.

Thanks!

I’ve had this on my list for ages and finally read it. I’m not a huge Steinbeck fan, but the premise caught my interest. It was interesting, but just okay. Does that even make sense?

Now I’m reading this.

I woke up to frost one day last week.

A couple days later, it looked like this. Michigan is beautiful in the fall! Since I took this photo, most of the leaves are on the ground.

I set this up and then told the mister that our toilet was smoking.

He was not amused. 😂

I finished the puzzle above to find one piece missing. it was underneath the finished part.

Before I go, there is a great deal on AccuQuilt Studio dies right now.

Have a great weekend!
