The top was finished in Michigan and loaded on the frame here in Arizona!

I just finished this book. Walking even part of the Camino de Santiago is a dream of mine.

Speaking of the end of the earth, would you live here? I saw this on the interwebs. It is a house on an island in Iceland and is referred to as the loneliest house on earth. The location and view is stunning! I fell in love with Iceland when we visited a few years ago. If you could get reliable mail delivery and internet, I think I could do this. 😁

This made me laugh way too hard!

It’s great to be back in the Valley of the Sun. I hope it is just as lovely where you are.

Have a great day!

Sorry to let you know so late, but there is free shipping on any order at AccuQuilt until midnight tonight, Central Time!

And the deal of the day is this cute Coffee and Tea medley die!

Have a great night!

I said this project needed a name so, Carl it is! I have my four strips done.

And I set them with the green strips in between.

I tried narrow yellow borders at the top and bottom, but that didn’t work. I’ll add green borders all around and the top will be done.

Have a great day!

This photo shows one column all put together, but not yet squared off. I thought I’d show you how I’m doing that.

I took my ruler and sliced it!

I made sure I cut between points.

Then I just switched the two pieces around and stitched one last diagonal seam.

I may go back and trim so those points are a quarter inch from the edge.

Ta daaaa!

Two down, two to go.

Before I get back to sewing, it isn’t too late to register for today’s AccuQuilt Live program!

Hope to see you there! Have a great day!

I’ve been debating a new project with this die, so I took a little time out from the leader/ender project to give it a go.

My thought was to use repro 30s fabrics for the Star points and different solids for the background.

I decided to make a block to try it out. There are no set in seams with this block. You make 4 of each triangle as shown below.

Sew 4 units like this.

Rotate and sew together to form the Star.

Very easy. But I could have had my center come together better if I had paid more attention to pressing.

It’s okay, but I’m not in love with it. Maybe because the version in my mind was scrappier. It will get set aside for now.

Have a great day!

It’s almost time!

I’ve been setting aside things to take to AZ ever since we got back! But we are flying rather than driving, so many of those things will wait. But you know I’m packing some quilting stuff. Here is one of my suitcases.

Lots of dies and some fabric, pantographs, a few UFOs, and two books.

I didn’t spend as much time getting projects organized and prepared to take this time. Now that I have a decent stash there, I don’t really need to. It is more about deciding if I want to finish a current project now or later.

The joy of having a house there, is that I don’t have to pack any clothes!

Here are our carryons.

I better get back to work.

Have a great day!
