KatyQuilts

I have a few Quilts of Valor that need labels before they can be presented.

I order these from Spoonflower.

Remember these? Labeling is always my stalling out point.

But I want to get these done and delivered before September. I have a few others that are ready for labels as well.

Have a great day!

I’ve read some good books lately. If you read, Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, you will enjoy this.

I’m not sure how to classify this next novel. It is unlike any other I’ve read, but I enjoyed it very much. Just a good story.

I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by this next author. Actually, I’m not sure that is the correct word for this book. It was riveting, sad, ultimately…..not quite triumphant…. Perhaps, satisfying?

This next one was a suggested title when a book I tried to download was unavailable. I loved it!

This is not a book, but a TV series on Amazon Prime.

Oh my goodness! The mister and I loved this! I just found out there will be a second season. I won’t miss it. It’s hard to find good TV shows and this exceeded my expectations.

Have you!

I bought this jelly roll ages ago at Tuesday Morning. I don’t think these strips are all from the same fabric line. I do love the colors.

I’ve been trying to come up with a good use for this. I finally cut some strips from Kona Stone.

I thought I had an idea, but it feels quite boring to me.

Offsetting the blocks helps. But I’m still not in love.

Hmmmm….maybe I should do more cutting. Then again…..

I think I’ll just put this away for a while. Have a great day!

I pieced all the blocks I could with the pieces I had cut.

The above shows the blocks I pieced this week. I think I actually have somewhere north of 120 blocks. I started piecing some rows, hoping to generate a bit of momentum on this project.

Yes, I see the one that is turned wrong! It may or may not stay that way.

Have a great day!

Since I was taking stock, I thought I’d look at the AZ UFO piles.

Never touched these while I was out there this summer.

Didn’t touch this either.

I think this will be a good one to jump into when I get back.

One of these days……

I forgot about this one. The blocks are all taken apart so I can redo the top with the solid green.

There are probably more to find when I get back out there.

Have a great day!

Part 2 of this sew along came out just when I needed a quick little project.

Again, I’m using dies from my 5” Qube, so that made things even quicker.

Ready for Part 3.

Before I go, I was asked what the potholder method of quilting was. Click here to learn more.

Have a great day!

I’m still feeling the summer sewing slump. Getting sick didn’t help. I thought I’d inventory my UFOs in hopes of finding my lost sewjo.

This has languished,. Not having a deadline or decision on size hasn’t helped.

I love these blocks, but I’m stymied on the setting.

I made one of these Cleopatra’s Fan blocks and then stopped. I don’t know why.

Ah, remember these? There doesn’t seem to be enough blocks, but I don’t feel like making more.

Started this at least a year ago. I don’t remember where I was headed.

I think the bow ties are the most appealing project for me here. I guess I’ll sew those until I run out of bits.

Have a great day!

…..comes in the most unlikely places. I rode down to Flint with Mr. Wonderful , yeah, THAT Flint, and saw this.

He indulged me in a second trip around the block to get a better shot.

I have dies for that!

I substituted red for the orange. The orange I had on hand was too close in value to my yellow.

Not perfect, but fun!

Not sure where it will go from here. Maybe no where. But it was fun.

Have a great day!
