I’m still playing around here. I decided to try a consistent background.

I wanted to try more colors and I’m moving toward all solids.

These are cut, but I need to find one more play time.

Have a great day!

I saw this lovely quilt at Goodwill last week. Such beautiful piecing. It broke my heart to see it there for only $12.49. I didn’t bring it home, I already have too many of my own.

It does make me think about what will happen to all of mine someday. I give many away, but still…. I think I may try to put together a post about places to donate quilts. But I’ll need your help. If you have any info, please share in the comments!

This made me laugh!

I told the dogs to get in their crates the other day and this happened. Not exactly what I meant! 😂

A really good word. I’m hanging on to this.

Have a great day!

I opened my bin of old shirts. It always feels a bit like Pandora’s Box.

I had an idea using this wedge die from AccuQuilt. This die is no longer available.

This is where I was going with this.

This was my first layout. Eh.

Then I tried this. It’s just okay.

Clearly, I have more work to do. Have a great day!

Lori over at Humble Quilts is hosting another quilt along! I love these. She does a great job with instructions and keeping things moving. This quilt starts with 1 1/2” squares. I have a whole bin full!

While talking on the phone with my sister, I sorted out matching pairs.

And I’ve started stitching them into four patches.

I can’t wait to see what the next step is! Have a great day!

I finished sewing my blocks. This was my intended layout. It is a pattern called “Clippings” by Thimbles and Needles.

But I decided to play a bit with these units before committing.

I got lazy and didn’t finish this layout.

But it would be a good one to make it bigger. Otherwise, I’ll need to add borders to get it up to a good size for a baby quilt. Have to think some more.

Have a great day!

As I was casting about for something to interest me, I spied this charm pack that has been languishing for far too long.

I picked out this gray solid to go with and got to cutting.

This came in handy! Mr. Wonderful got a 3D printer and made a thread cutter for me.

When you remove the cap, you can see the imbedded razor blade.

It’s awesome for cutting threads when chain piecing.

I’ll need to think of more things he can make for me. 😊

Have a great day!

First up, a couple answers to some recent questions. I was asked about the palm tree photo from my previous post. That was taken in my backyard. 😊

I was also asked about using my BaptistFan design boards. There is a definite learning curve with them. Mine are definitely not perfect. I hope to do a post soon showing exactly how they work as I’d get a lot of questions about them.

I finished another puzzle!

Sunrise from the plane when I traveled home.

I saw this beautiful mosaic in the MPS airport.

Have you ever had this? It’s the best cheese popcorn ever! My sister brings me some nearly every time I see her. 😊

And before I go, AccuQuilt has the best deal on Studio Dies at the moment!

Have a great day!
