I’ve been riding Daughter #2’s bike and she wanted it back. I can’t say that I blame her! I knew it would happen, so I’ve been scouring the local ads for a bike to keep here in AZ. Last Thursday, I brought her home!
She’s a 2013 Harley Forty-Eight.
We are having fun getting to know each other. 😊
Have a great day!
A sweet friend sent me some fabric and included some block parts. This is just the kind of challenge I love! I have no idea what the block was supposed to be, but I could use these pieces for a sweet little doll quilt.
Or two…
Or three…
Our local park recently installed this artwork. It’s so much prettier in person. The overcast day didn’t help show it off.
Winslow was visiting the ducks.
Another week, another puzzle.
Or two….
Have a great day!
Another Friday means another finish. I loved making this!
I’m not quite as in love with the quilting, but it doesn’t show much anyway.
This is the pantograph I used.
I had this crazy fabric in my stash for the back.
It kind of hurts my eyes. 😂
I picked up all of the African fabrics at the thrift shop. They began life as scarves.
I seriously love this AccuQuilt die. The blocks were SO easy to piece.
So fun! Have a great day!

Last week, my dear neighbor texted me to let me know that a garage sale on our street had a doll bed for sale. So I trotted down to check it out. I was NOT expecting this Victorian beauty!
I removed the foam and replaced it with a thinner scrap I had here. Then I made a cover for that. Of course, it needed a small pillow.
After I added a pillowcase, it was complete!
I’m positively smitten with this! It’s living in one of the guest rooms for now. I like peeking in there and seeing it.
Thanks, Kelly, for the tip!
Have a great day!
I’ve been thinking for a while about my next leader/ender project. This bin of 2 1/2” squares is overflowing so I knew I wanted to use these.
I cut some plain squares to go with.
This is the die I used from my AccuQuilt 8” Qube.
This is my idea. I’m not sure my plain squares are bold enough to stand out.
I have the next block ready to stitch. I might have to make a few and then decide if I like it or not.
Have a great day!
A granny square quilt has been on my short list for a while. When I came across a pile of Ruby Star scraps ( I don’t remember buying these 🤦🏻♀️), I decided it was time. My sizes were dependent on the size of my pieces.
I could get the most pieces with the least waste from this AccuQuilt die, so that is where I started. This is from the 12” Qube. BTW, they have some great Clearance and Overstock deals at the moment. Click here to check them out.
Oh, yes! I think this could be fun!
Have a great day!

I picked up this AccuQuilt die a while back and finally took the time to try it out.
I used red, white, and blue scraps from the bin.
There is so much potential with this die. While my sample is simple and scrappy, you can make some really dramatic quilts just with color placement.
This block would make a great center for a medallion quilt. Hmmmm….I need to think about that…..
Before I go, AccuQuilt is running some great deals right now. 40% off Overstock items, 50% off Clearance, 15% off embroidery downloads and more!
Have a great day!

I enjoyed making the little Valentine quilt so much, I decided to make a few more! So today, I’m hand sewing tiny bindings.
I cut my strips for these at 1 1/4”.
So much quicker than a big quilt!
You can see that I kept the quilting very simple.
Ta daaa!
I have a couple more to hand stitch later today.
Have a great day!
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!
There is a free pattern on the Temecula Quilt Journal for a tiny Valentine quilt.
Of course, I had to try it!
The heart blocks finish at one inch!
It didn’t take long and it was ready for a bit of hand quilting.
I bound it by bringing the backing around to the front.
The finished size is 4 1/4” by 5 1/4 “.
What a fun little finish! I might just make another.
Before I go, AccuQuilt has all Studio dies on sale right now at 55% off!
