KatyQuilts

This little quilt is moving along. It’s a good size for taking in the car.

I wish I had pieced the rows in a different order, but I’m not ripping out now.

I have a few more rows to go. Have a great day!

I’ve always wanted one of these kits. I finally found one at a price I was willing to pay.

I was so excited that the seams were marked so I could hand piece it.

Except, only the top piece in each stack was marked. ☹️

I decided to machine piece one diamond to see how it would go. The answer? Not good.

Hmmm…. not sure where to go from here. This might have to sit a while.

Have a great day!

I finished the blocks for this quilt.

It was harder to lay out than I expected. It seemed that no matter where I placed blocks, there were pieces of similar color in adjacent pieces.

I finally gave up and just sewed them together. This is what I found in my stash for a border.

I wanted a print, but not something that would make this even busier than it already was. This is the panto I’m using.

So far, so good!

Have a great day!

Quilting is progressing nicely, even though I’ve spent the last week visiting my mom and helping pack up her stuff to move out of my childhood home. Quilting really is good therapy.

This will be done soon. Of course, I’m doing Baptist Fans again, but these are smaller than I normally do.

I’ve had this stencil for ages. I’m using a blue washout marker.

This is the crochet thread I’m using for quilting. I hope I don’t run out!

If I do, I’ll make do with something around here. It’s a make do kind of quilt.

Have a great day!

I stopped at a local antique mall recently. I quite liked this pinwheel top.

And this flying geese top was fun! It had really wide strips between the geese.

There were several of these blocks.

And several runners made from yo-yos.

I loved these, but I knew I wasn’t buying, so I didn’t unfold them. That Irish Chain though….

Love, love, love this chevron top!

I’m seeing a revival of these kinds of things lately.

Not a quilt, but I loved this!

A strange apron, newly made from old blocks. Nope.

This was labeled as being a bib. I don’t think so. But then, I have no clue what it actually is. Any ideas?

Hope you enjoyed this little diversion. Have a great day!

I hate the way the quilting turned out on this. But I did learn how to prevent this ugliness on future quilts. I’m not going to take the time to finish this as is. I’m going to leave it hanging out though. I might cut it up and repurpose somehow.

I walked a labyrinth last week I haven’t done this since I lived in France. It’s a good tool for meditative prayer.

Daughter #2 sent this photo. Jack is going to bloom! I’m excited even though I won’t be there to see it. To me, it means he is happy in his new home.

E3….such a sweet face. When he comes to Nana’s, he likes to watch Jeep videos.

Yes, I’m that dog mom. But actually, the mister picked these outfits up for the pups!

Have a great day!
