I’ve got a bit of binding going on today.

And then I’ll move on to some more quilting on this.

I had hoped to have that third side done by today. Oh well, no deadline on this one.

Still loving those giant fans. The stencil is available from Fun with Barb .

Have a great day!

I knew I was going to need binding for an upcoming quilt and I made enough for two quilts at the same time. Someday, I’m going to be really happy with myself for doing this.

I found this little pillow the other day. My son made it for me when he was little. It looks like a lifted Jeep!

I’m a terrible cook, but my daughters are all amazing chefs! Daughter #1 shared this recipe the other day.

These beautiful roses from my son are still looking wonderful!

I’m still doing some sorting here and there in the sewing room. I finally labeled the containers that needed them. Such a little thing, why did I wait so long?

And I finished another puzzle. It’s called 100 Dogs and a Cat.

Mr. Wonderful set up a dog grooming station for me in the garage.

At least they can see now.

Have a great day!

I finally got more interfacing. A generous friend had a bolt she said I could use and repay her later. But I didn’t want to use it in case I was unable to find any to replace it. I was finally able to get some from JoAnns so I didn’t have to use hers.

I still need to add borders. I’ll use this navy and the gray is for the backing.

This is a big one!

I hope to get the borders on and get this loaded today.

Have a good one!

Barb at Fun with Barb has been making some lovely string quilts. I was quite taken with her Butterscotch and Blue and thought I’d dig through some scraps to make a mini version.

I ended up with these three strips. I could have made more, but I didn’t feel Ike I had enough variety without cutting into fat quarters and such. I was playing hooky from the t-shirt quilt as it was!

I tried a few different backgrounds.

I’m going to go work on the t-shirt quilt while I think about it.

Have a great day!

I updated some things and now it seems that I am unable to answer my comments! So frustrating. I decided to would try to answer the recent questions in a post.

I was asked how tall this frame is, it is 31 inches in height. I have a mechanics stool that I brought up from the sewing room to use. I like that it swivels and the height is adjustable.

This is the stencil I use. It is my favorite and it is available from Barb at Fun with Barb.

The pencil is a ceramic chalk pencil from Fons and Porter.

Pam mentioned that she also has a frame like this! How fun! She said it was advertised in Country Woman magazine back in the 90s. I remember hubby buying me a subscription to that magazine. Pam said she didn’t even baste the quilt first, just started in the middle. I really got back into hand quilting when it dawned on my that I could use my long arm to baste. I like to do this since I can quilt from the edges in when I do Baptist Fans.

You can see Winslow here trying to get my attention.

And Willy decided this made a great sleeping spot.

I hope this helps! I do appreciate all your recent comments. Hopefully I can get this straight out soon.

Have a great day!

My great nephew is graduating this year and my niece asked me to make a t-shirt quilt for him. She brought me 60 shirts!

Here is a start after rough cutting.

I’m getting a late start on this because I haven’t been able to get interfacing. I ordered a bolt over a month ago and it hasn’t been shipped yet. I finally was able to get four packages of this to pick up curbside at my local JoAnns.

I ran out, but I put in another order and hope to pick it up tomorrow.

I have 8 shirts made from this dri-fit fabric. I haven’t used these before.

I have a long ways to go. This will be my big project for this week. Have a great day!

In my sorting, I found this bit of fabric. It should be in a Coronavirus quilt!

I had some strips of wool leftover from cutting my pressing mats to fit my ironing table.

I thought I would try to make a couple small mats from the scraps. I put Heat N Bond on a bit of fabric and fused it to one side.

It seems to have worked! The seams in the mat don’t seem to affect affect the block you are pressing. Now I have travel mat in case I ever go somewhere else to sew. Bahahahaha!

I started this little felt flower project during one of the craft nights at my house more than a year ago. I found the bits while cleaning and decided to just finish this instead of moving it.

I quite like it! I don’t know why it took me so long to finish this.

This is isolation jigsaw number five.

Our plumeria is blooming again! It’s hard to get a good photo since it is over my head!

Have a great day!
