I loved this book so much, I had a copy sent to my mom.
My sweet AZ neighbor sent me these photos of one of our cactuses blooming! It’s so pretty!
I always feel like somebody’s watching me 🎵🎶….
Peeps are cute, but disgusting. These are probably worst than most. Who thought this was a good idea?
In case you were wondering, Oscar is still around. Though he’s felt a bit neglected since the Harley came along.
I changed the quilt on my bed. I love the texture in the morning light.
Have a great day!
Gosh, this was fun!
Ahhhh… my favorite quilt hanging tree isn’t working so well since most of the leaves fell!
Anyway, here is a full shot.
I had just enough of this perfect fabric in my stash to back it.
The quilting is a simple pantograph called, John’s Puzzle Meander.
The binding is leftover from a couple other quilts.
I definitely want to play with this idea some more, though probably in a two color quilt.
Before I go, I wanted to let you know about this deal from Connecting Threads .
The deal only lasts until midnight tonight. Happy shopping!
Have a great day!

Much sewing has been happening around here! Mario is all pieced.
Well, all except for some plain borders.
Now I’m working on a top for E2. He wanted the Piranha plant from the Mario game. It is half pieced.
I found Mario sheets to use for the backing of these quilts. Hopefully I can get the plant top finished today and Mario loaded on the long arm tomorrow.
Have a great day!
I finally started my Christmas sewing. I wanted it done by Thanksgiving and just realized that is only two weeks away.
I’m on a mission to knock out this top, this week. I’m using 2 1/2” squares and a cross stitch pattern to make this.
Because this boy needs a Mario quilt.
It looks so much better after sewing.
Back to sewing! Have a great day !
Wait!!! I nearly forgot! The Quilt Keeper currently has a $10 rebate if you purchase the three pack! These are awesome for yourself or to give as a gift.

About a week ago, I came across this string bin. Ugh. I nearly emptied the whole thing in the trash.
Then I decided to piece some together. I have no real plan here.
Finding strips of similar size was frustrating. So I started pressing and sorting.
This took forever!
But it was helpful. I started sewing similar size strips together.
I still have many strips left to sew and no idea what I’ll do with these panels.
Have a great day!
PS Don’t forget to vote!
This is where I was when you saw this last.
I’ve left this up on the design wall trying to decide where to go from here. I started thinking about using alternate blocks.
Maybe a plain border, instead of the pieced one in the original.
Blue?
Maybe this?
Thinking, thinking, thinking….
Have a great day!
I’ve had this little quilt pinned for ages on Pinterest. It was time to make it!
I love a tray of perfectly cut pieces!
How fun is this?
Borders are on!
And…..drumroll please……
Such a satisfying little thing!
Have a great day!
When I got to cutting my alternate squares for this quilt, I realized I had cut my initial pieces wrong and my blocks were bigger than they were supposed to be!
No worries, I had plenty of fabric in the kit for the blocks. I just left off the border.
I just love this piece! My diagonal cross hatch quilting is far from perfect, but it isn’t noticed looking at it straight on.
I see you all tilting your heads to see my crooked lines! 😂
Have a great day!
I finished this just in time to get some outdoor photos at a nearby park before the weather turned.
The quilting is the best part so bear with my closeups.
It finished at 44 by 48”, so a nice size baby quilt.
It was so nice the day I took pics, that I went on my bike. Probably the last good riding day of the season here in Michigan.
This quilt is quite similar to one I made a few years ago. You can check out Checkers here.
Have a great day!
I recently received this in the mail from a quilty friend.
It included all the fabric needed. Within 30 minutes of getting the mail, I had my block pieces cut! I was so excited!
And not long later, the first two blocks were done.
Before dinner, they were all done!
This is how I pressed these small blocks.
More to come! Have a great day!
