A dear friend gave me fresh picked oranges from her tree. Wow! What a treat!

Another puzzle finish. This was called 90s Icons. It was a fun blast from the past!

It’s been a bit chilly here at night so Winslow was rocking her unicorn hoodie.

A blank wall….. I want to create a bulletin board of sorts here. Something that I can pin finished quilts to, but won’t look bad left empty. I also don’t want anything that will ruin the wall when removed, but can handle the weight of quilts. I can’t get a full or even a half sheet of foam insulation into my Mini Cooper, so there is that. I’ve seen felt, pinnable squares, but the hanging part eludes me.

Lastly, look at this lovely lady! She turned 91 last weekend. She has been so much more to me than just my MIL. She has been a mentor, teacher, sounding board, prayer warrior, and the dearest of friends. It was so good to see her. Love you, Mama Mim!

Have a great day!

After a whirlwind trip to Missouri, I’m back in Arizona. Yesterday, was a nap with dogs/reading/rest day. I hope to get caught up on comments soon.

Adding triangles to these as a leader/ender project worked out very well. That was rather boring sewing, but it is now nearly done. So it’s time to think again about the layout.

This was my original plan.

But I also like this.

Perhaps turned this way.

I’ve got samples of both ideas up on the design wall so I can ponder it. Pondering is a very important part of quilting for me.

Have a great day!

I was supposed to be working on something else…but this AccuQuilt die caught my eye in the sewing room and the rest is history.

It didn’t take long to cut my pieces out.

They have these little notches built in.

I tried piecing this with pins and without. I had the best success without. Start like this and take a few stitches.

Then line up the notches and ease the edges together in between.

Once you get past the notches, line up to the end.

I pressed toward the black on all blocks.

This made all my seams nest nicely.

This finished block is 14 inches. So fun!

Have a great day !

I’ve remained focused on this project and the end is in sight. It’s on the frame and quilting has begun.

This is the pantograph that I’m using.

Looking good so far.

This quilt has no destination yet. In time, it will tell me where it wants to go.

Also, sorry about my confusing “Test” post yesterday. I was trying to figure something out here.

Have a great day!
