I’m so excited to share my friend Zenia’s quilt with you! She blogs at A Quilted Passion. She pieced this gorgeous top and I got to quilt it for her.

What I really wanted to show you is Zenia’s amazing use of fabric.

She puts fabrics together that I would never in a million years think of. And it all works! Take a look and you’ll see what I mean.

She’s made some gorgeous quilts, but this might be my favorite. and yes, she gave me permission to share!

When I asked her about it, this is what she had to say.

I think she has a real talent for combining fabrics.

This is the pantograph I used.

And here is the back.

Now, don’t you want to make a quilt just like this? I do!

Before I go, I wanted to let you know about this fun AccuQuilt Live program tomorrow!

Watch closely and you may just see a project created by Yours Truly in the trunk show! Click here to register!

Have a great day!

Well, I finished the next block….I think.

It was supposed to have a butterfly between the trees, but I’m not a fan of butterflies so I put a little bird there instead. It turned out looking more like a duck. 😂 I’m definitely not loving this. That duck/bird might need to fly south.

I’ll think about that while I work on the next block. it’s supposed to look like this.

But of course, I had to start with smaller blocks than what was recommended, so that won’t all fit.

I’ll add the scissors first, then add the hands on either side. They will be at a different angle than the pattern so they fit. I’m not sure I will add the hearts. I’ll decide later.

Have a great day!

I visited this place last winter, but forgot about it this year. Until today. I was driving past and decided to stop.

This is like stepping back in time. They have fabric….

And crafty stuff…

And so much more. I can’t remember the last time I saw aprons like this in a store.

They have a whole aisle for hats.

Lots of kitschy souvenirs.

And you can even pick up your granny panties here! 😂

They have a little bit of everything. I haven’t seen a variety store like this in decades.

No snow globes in the desert, just sand.

I did get some great fabric. Here is my haul.

I’ll definitely be back.

Have a great day!

All my rectangles are sewn together. I had more than I thought!

I started making four patches, in between some secret sewing.

Then I had to try out my idea to see how it would look. I added triangles to the four patches to make these.

Time to try it out.

The plan was to have alternating rows.mill probably need to make a few more rows before I’m sure about this.

Have a great day!

I’ve made a fair amount of progress on my leader/ender project. I started by piecing them into pairs, then into foursies.

Now I have six 80 inch strips. I have enough bits for one more row and maybe two.

I’ve got a plan here, but for now, I need to start piecing from this bin of 2 1/2 inch squares.

I so love having these bins of pieces all cut and ready to sew!

Have a great day!

I finally finished this block for the Ladies Aid BOM.

I’m still behind, but this is what I have done so far.

The block on the lower left is next up. The trees are back basted and ready for applique. The pattern showed a butterfly between them. I’m looking for something else to put there instead.

I hope I can share another finished block next week. Have a great day!
