I mentioned it has been a really busy week here, so here’s a lock back at this post from five years ago today. Enjoy!
July 22, 2017
I finished this quilt at the last second! It was too dark for photos outside when I finished the binding.
Here is a look at my allover freehand feathers.
And a look at the back.
Have a great day!
It’s been such a busy week, that I forgot to schedule my post for this morning! 276 days in a row posting and I broke my streak. Oh, well.
You have a few days left to get in on this deal from AccuQuilt . I may or may not have a package arriving tomorrow….
The hubs and I watched this the other night. Such a fantastic movie and a true story to boot!
I had to laugh when I saw this. 😂
Apparently, Willy is exhausted from this week as well.
Before I go, Fat Quarter Shop is having a massive clear out on quilt kits.
Back to secret sewing. Have a great day!

I’ve been making blocks here and there in between other projects. I was asked how these blocks would look if all the floral fabrics were the same. Good question! This block has so many options. I used a collage app to make a couple mock ups.
That looks totally different! How about two alternating fabrics in the corners?
That’s cool too! This is what I love about this block. So many possibilities.
Back to work. Have a great day!
Our bedroom repainting/recarpeting job is complete and the furniture is back in!
I finished this quilt in April. You can see that it is huge. It is so fun to finally put everything back.
This sweet boy spent the night.
Check this out! Margie shared with me this little Hattie’s Choice doll quilt she found on vacation.
Isn’t it darling?
I am getting some sewing in today. Yes, starting something new. I’ll share more about this soon.

Progress has been made, but I have quite a few blocks left to go. Meaning, I am not out of fabric yet. I have no idea yet how big this will end up.
I do have more pieces cut and ready.
I really like this purple. Maybe alternate blocks? Sashing?
I really love this block! If you want to make these, you are in luck! This die is currently on sale.
Click here and then go to Overstocks. There are plenty of other great deals there as well, but I can definitely recommend this one!
Back to work! Have a great day!

I know, I shouldn’t be doing this….but I can’t get this lovely top off my mind. So I decided to baste it for hand quilting.
If you are basting a vintage quilt on a long arm, this glide foot is a game changer.
I’m using this vintage duvet cover for the backing.
My thought is to use the small Baptist Fan stencil. One fan fits in my 14” hoop. Can I limit myself to one fan per day?
I’m considering using this perle cotton and a big stitch.
It has the feel of a utility quilt, so it might work.
Have a great day!
It has been a crazy, busy week here, with lots of secret sewing projects going on. I’ve got several AccuQuilt patterns in the works and a few I haven’t started yet. I can share a sneak peek of my fabric pull for one of them.
And this layer cake and jelly roll are for a Fat Quarter Shop project.
I got this new pantograph and used it on another secret sewing project.
My sweet sister gave me these sweet things! She’s so thoughtful. 😊
Have a great weekend!
I decided to continue my little experiment and see if I could enhance the optical illusion with quilting.
The quilting is far from perfect. But I think I like it.
I grabbed a bit of an old yellow calico for the backing.
The next photo shows the quilting texture, which is both good and bad on a bit like this, every bobble and imperfection shows.
Amazing how difficult it is to get photos of this!
Have a great day!
Have you seen these little drawings that show impossible shapes?
I admit that I’ve always been fascinated by them. I found this one on Pinterest, and decided to see if I could translate it into fabric.
Don’t look too closely, I had other things I should have been doing, so this was a rush job.
It looks better from a distance. I think I’d like to explore this a bit more sometime.
Have a great day!
Mr. Wonderful found this quilt for me at the same sale I shared about yesterday.
I’m smitten! It is beautifully done. I love the pale peach background.
The quilting is beautiful!
Excuse my ugly thumb, I wanted you to see how tiny those stitches are.
I brought it back to Michigan with me. It’s too small for this bed, but I wanted to get abed shot.
I think this scratches the Double Wedding Ring itch for me. I don’t feel a need to make one myself.
Have a great day!
