Thank you all for your kind words about my Willy. I appreciate it all so very much.

He is all I can think about right now, so this weekend, I’m just sharing photos of my little fluffy butt.

This was the day we brought him home.

This was supposed to be a lion costume. But he ended up looking like Donald Trump.

Tomorrow I will share my finish for the most recent Quilt Along hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts. I decided it would be fun to share with you all of the little quilts I’ve made in her QALs over the years. I was shocked to realize how many I have! Each one was a total delight to make. Enjoy!

You can see that I took liberties and made them my own. That’s the fun of quilting!

Have a great day!

I’ve had better weeks. Poor Willy has a severe case of pancreatitis. That has meant little sleep and lots of time at the vet.

Meanwhile, these two hooligans waited on the new rugs for him to come home.

Hopefully, I will have good news to share soon.

I’m in! I’ve always wanted to do this and I’m finally ready to commit! Click here for Bonnie’s intro post.

I’m not a purple girl, so I’m thinking I will go with reds, dark blue, light blue and neutrals.

I need to thin out my batiks, but I’m not sure I have enough. I’ll do some more digging today.

Have a great day!

Lori has revealed the last steps for the QAL. Here is the layout without the borders. I love it!

But I did play around with the layout for fun.

I always love doing Lori’s Humble QALs. I actually did decide on my final layout, but it is none of the above!

Have a great day!

I’m far from done, but I have refolded most of my fabric and sent one big box to Goodwill. My dies are sorted.

Most of these drawers and the stuff on top has been gone through.

Someone asked about how I fold fabric. Larger pieces (more than a yard) are wrapped around my largest ruler and then folded in half. You can see piles like this at the back of the drawer below.

Smaller pieces are folded selvedge to selvedge and then again, fold to selvedge. Then they are wrapped around my 6 by 12 ruler.

Yardage.

This is all scraps that need processing. I have several other bins of scraps as well that I need to go through.

I’ve also evicted numerous dust bunnies! I hope to get this project wrapped up this week. We shall see.

Have a great day!

Finally! A puzzle without any missing pieces!

Hubby found this for me at Goodwill. I was shocked when I first opened the box to find this.

Winslow and Willy got haircuts!

This a true!

And a book recommendation. I literally was up all night reading this. I couldn’t put it down.

Have a great day!

I have yet to put my blocks together from my last leader/ender project, but I needed something else. So I grabbed this bin of 2 1/2” squares.

And I started making four patches.

They seem huge after the little ones I made for the Summit Stitching QAL!

Have a great day!
