…..where I’m headed with this?

There is a little quilt that has been on my bucket list for a while now. I finally decided to get cutting. I used these dies.

And my scribbles.

I’ll give you a hint, this was from a Quilt Along hosted by one of my favorite bloggers a few years ago.

I love her QALs and she is hosting another! Head over to visit Lori at Humble Quilts for details.

Have a great day!

Want in on a secret? I pieced and quilted the pinwheel quilt last week. And it’s a good thing, as I don’t have much to show for this week!

I loaded up enough backing and batting to quilt it right after the quilt I shared last Friday.

It worked out perfectly and took less time than doing them separately.

Here is the panto I used on this one. Link to Urban Elementz is in the side bar.

I’ll share this finish on Friday.

Thanks for all of your kind messages. I’m hoping hubby will be able to come home today. Have a good one!

I mentioned last week that I cut pieces out of scraps left from the quilt I showed on Friday. I also cut my background pieces.

This is the Accuquilt die I used. And this is the pinwheel block I ended up with. I got this idea from an Instagram post by @janettebinder who’s is also a blog reader!

These blocks are fun and quick, just the thing to get me out of my slump! Mine finish at 8 inches.

Have a great day!

Make that, very slow stitching. I ended up taking Mr. Wonderful back to ER yesterday. A week passed since his surgery and he wasn’t feeling any better. Turns out he has a nasty infection. They admitted him and I’m headed up there to see him very soon.

First, I plan to drink a cup of coffee and stitch this one flower.

Have a great day!

The roller coaster continues here as hubby ended up in ER last weekend. He’s still on the mend from surgery, so I’ve been playing nurse. Here are some thises and thats from my week.

After 35 years, my engagement ring broke! Happily, it happened at home and I didn’t lose it. My nearly 100 year old wedding ring from my grandma is still going strong.

Daughter #1 and boys looked after the pups for a few days. Here is E2 feeding mine and hers.

E3 was here one day last week. He loves hats and shoes!

Here is E1 in his school room at home.

I found this in the yard yesterday. I’m not ready! I love fall, I just don’t like winter that follows.

I dream of spending my winters here.

My current reading material:

Have a great weekend!

I got the top together and I’m feeling pleased with how it is turning out.

Can you believe this happened? Purely by chance!

I decided to quilt this using pattern boards.

Time to bind!

Have a great day!

Yes, more. I had 12 to do for September and October so I’m not done yet! This beautiful top was pieced by Val.

I love the backing.

Here is the pattern info.

And the panto I used. There is a link on my sidebar to a Urban Elementz, where I purchase all my pantographs. It is an affiliate link.

Here is another by Nadine.

I think I have three more to go. Have a great day!

I trimmed up these blocks and headed back to the design wall.

I just didn’t feel like making more so I set about trying to find a better way to make them stretch. Anneke was right about the stripes being too distracting. I think this gray will work better.

Of course, I ran out. So I picked another gray print to use for those last two corners.

Last weekend, I saw a quilt on Instagram by @janettebinder that looked like a perfect way to use my leftovers so I cut those out while I was in the sewing room.

Hopefully I can get this top together today and in the frame. It would be nice to have a finish this week.

Have a great day!

Remember these?

I’d forgotten them. Once I found them again, I made a few more. Then I decided to okay a bit to figure out how many I really need.

An alternate set might be good.

Too bright?

Too pastel?

Hmmmm….I think I’ll make a few more before I decide.

Have a great day!
