Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful recent comments! You are all so sweet! Once again, my readers have provided the perfect quilt name. My purple quilt shall be called, Mourning Has Broken! A little play on the song title and the reproduction mourning prints. It feels perfect!

And I found the perfect binding fabric in my stash!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We sure did! There is nothing like time spent with family. E1 spent the night on Friday, and E2 stayed Saturday night. Today, E3 is coming.

I really hate shopping, but if I can do it from my couch? Then I’m all in! I’ll be doing a bit of shopping online this morning with my coffee. Here are a few links in case you didn’t have time to shop over the weekend.

First off, the Accuquilt deals continue!

Next, Fat Quarter Shop continues with more Flash Sales and lots of other great deals!

Last, but not least, Connecting Threads always has fantastic Cyber Monday deals.

Have a wonderful day!

Mr. Wonderful and I flew into Michigan early Thursday. Those red eye flights are rough! But after a quick nap, we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Daughter #2’s house. Friday, we had a family day here. We sure missed our Michigan kids!

I snuck in a little quilting time yesterday. Today, I’ll get the binding done on this. I have severe options.

The first makes for too much black. The second is too pink. I’m sure I can find something.

Michigan welcomed us with snow.

Yikes! It’s cold!

Have a great day!

I really need to come up with a name for this! I finished all my blocks.

I thought I would add sashing and cornerstones.

But decided to go with alternate plain blocks. I wish I had a bolt of this gray fabric. It’s so useful!

Stay tuned.

It’s shopping season! I thought I’d round up the best deals for you right here.

I love the Fat Quarter Shop Black Friday deals! Their grab bag is always excellent. It’s a gift to myself. 😊

I’m so very thankful for all of you, my friends. I pray that your day is filled with goodness.

Love, Katy

I don’t use purple often, but I had some purple and black scraps and I got an idea. I used these Accuquilt dies from my 8” Qube.

I already had most of the triangles that I needed in my triangle bin.

I love how accurate these dies are, just leave a wee bit showing at the corners….

….on both sides and press toward the triangles.

Now look what happens when I add the next triangle.

That perfect alignment leads to this.

So far so good!

Have a great day!

I visited 35th Avenue Sewing World last week. I loved these two samples, they had displayed!

Grand dog, Bambi, likes to help me sew.

We put up our tree and the dogs are loving it!

Our neighbors are really into the spirit!

If you are in need of a crunchy snack, these are dangerously good!

If anyone in the Phoenix area is looking for a Bernina 1030 or a Bernina serger, I’m selling both of these.

Lastly, a huge thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts in EQ8. I took the plunge and so far, it seems much more user friendly!

Have a great day!

Finally got back to working on this.

I need to figure out how to quilt the border. A couple good movies and the quilting could be done. Speaking of good movies. The mister and I just watched this.

There is a book by the same name. I just finished the book and then I had to see this. You can find more info about it here. No affiliation, just wanted to share. Walking the Camino is a bucket list item for me. Maybe someday.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
