I decided to trim on of my little bits down and add it to a notecard to send yo a friend.

My pattern writing “helper.”

I love it when my boys come over after school! They discovered they are now big enough to climb trees in my backyard.

Silly Willy.

Our apple trees are in full bloom!

Lastly, I think this is considered a kids book, but I enjoyed it.

I have an idea I want to try. It involves appliqué on a prequilted background.

I had more fabric than batting at the end of my piece, so I added some scrap batting and kept quilting.

Then I applied fusible to the back of some scraps and cut out small circles.

I used this die.

I placed the circles on the quilted background and fused them down while the piece was still on the long arm frame. I changed to black thread and did some sketching by machine to create little flowers.

Then I cut them apart. I think they are rather cute. I definitely want to play with this idea some more.

I don’t know yet what I will do with these. I could attach them to the front of blank cards.

It was a very fun little diversion, that’s for sure.

Have a great day!

Remember these?

They are 6” blocks and I started them before leaving for Arizona last fall. I’ve been using them as a leader/ender project.

I need to be thinking about another one as these blocks will be finished soon. I currently have 100 blocks done.

Have a great day!

Check out this beauty made by reader, Terry B! She used 5” squares to make her version. I love it!

I’ve only done one puzzle since returning to Michigan.

Here is a handy DIY earthquake detector. 🤣

My sweet neighbor has sent some lovely photos of our blooming plants in AZ!

Mr. Wonderful and I have only been out riding once since we returned. It was great fun! But mostly, it has been too cold and rainy to ride.

Have a great day!

I took part in the little quilt swap hosted by Lori again this year. My sweet little quilt arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be more thrilled!

JoAnne made this wonderful little piece for me. You all know I love all things patriotic and she hit the nail on the head! Look at her beautiful hand appliqué and quilting!

A huge thanks to Lori for hosts this again and to JoAnne for her generosity.

Have a great day!
