Slow progress is being made.
I’m now at a point where I need to mark more pieces. I picked up this board covered in sandpaper a while back. I think I’m going to like using this.
I prefer traditional piecing to English Paper Piecing, but I’m sure that would have worked well for this project.
Have a great day!
My dear Daughter #3 picked up a whole box of feed sacks for me recently! What treasures!
This finish is a few months old, but it was recently published on the AccuQuilt Blog.
The mister and I rode our bikes to the beach last weekend. It was lovely.
Daughter #1 and her family came for a cookout. This is the only picture I have! E2 riding the little quad.
Willy was exhausted when everyone left. Silly boy!
Have a great day!
You might remember a preview version of this in my crap quota. It really wasn’t terrible, but it was very boring. I chatted with Daughter #3 about it. She said, it was too regular, not enough tension.
She was right. I played around some more and I like this much better.
This is the back. I faced it like the others.
This next photo is a terrible photo of a quilt, but wouldn’t it be cool to add some shadows like this?
Have a great day!
It’s been a good month. Love how this Farmer’s Wife quilt turned out.
And my little swap quilt.
Most of my time was spent on art pieces.
But of course, I snuck in a mini made of repros.
Have a great day!
Remember these strings? I pieced these together last fall before I left for Arizona. I had no plan for them, just wanted to get to the bottom of my string bin.
Well, I found it! The perfect way to use these! How gorgeous is this? This quilt is by Sharon Tucker of Grass Roots Quilting .
The pattern is available on the APQS website. It was on the cover of APQ magazine in April 2017. I had to dig to find it. Yes I know, I’m late to the party!
I know I have the cheddar I need, but I’ll have to look for the perfect red. I’m really excited to start this!
Have a great day!
Remember these?
I’m not in love with them, but I cut more pieces when I was cleaning out my scrap bucket.
I have no real plan here. I’ll just make a few now and then. Maybe they will grow on me.
Have a great day!
Memorial Day…. It brings up so many vivid images in my mind. And I guess that is the point, remembering. So very thankful for all those who gave their lives so that I can live mine. I don’t have many words today, but I thought I’d share a handful of the patriotic quilts I’ve made over the years. Have a great day. 🇺🇸❤️
Happy Sunday! I’m still playing with bias tape. Here is my latest idea. Yes, it’s a riff on Picasso’s dachshund. It needs a bit of finessing before I start glue basting.
Speaking of bias tape, my experiments can continue thanks to the generosity of blog reader, Anne!
You’ve seen this piece before. I found out this week that it sold at the show! I had to go visit it one last time.
Last weekend, the mister and I attended the Blessing of the Bikes in Baldwin, Michigan. What an experience! 40,000 bikers in attendance!
My sweet babies. ❤️
Have a great day!

I’m an on again, off again knitter, at best. But I can’t seem to pass up pretty yarn! I found this lot at a recent yard sale.
This is my favorite. It is a merino wool and silk blend.
This bamboo feels heavenly!
I might need to make lots of yellow socks.
I started a hat to get myself back into the swing of things. This is the same as the skein above, but in a different color way.
I love an easy pick up project while visiting with family. And two of our daughters will be here tomorrow with their families.
Have a great day!
