I’m my never ending rummaging, I found a few more things to finish. The first one is just a small piece.
This one is about 30 inches square. I pieced this ages ago.
I think one of my girls pieced these next two. I may finish them up for donation quilts.
I also found machine quilting samples galore. I’ve used them to make zipper bags in the past. I need to find other ways to use them.
Have a great day!
Why, yes! Yes, they did! And I’m here to enable help you cash in.
Urban Elementz is back at it with a fantastic sale on fabric, like the Dream Big panel that you see above.
Here are more details.
I’m off to shop! Have a great day!

On Monday, I showed you my newest leader/ender project. Well, that quickly became a main project and now it is done.
I’ve had this backing fabric in my stash for decades.
It’s actually bright pink.
The binding is navy and I used bright pink quilting thread.
This is the pantograph I used from Urban Elementz .
Willy looking confused as usual.
I’ll be sending this off to Quilts of Compassion. They are collecting quilts to take to families in Tennessee that lost their homes in the recent tornadoes.
Have a great weekend!

This is another beautiful quilt pieced by my friend, Donna. She used a Missouri Star tutorial.
She chose this panto and it is perfect!
Love the backing.
Donna hasn’t been quilting all that long, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at her quilts. Such beautiful work.
Have a great day!
I can’t believe I did this. My friend, Donna asked me to quilt this lovely piece for her.
She chose the perfect panto for it!
I love how the quilting turned out.
This is the one I used from Urban Elementz .
When I pulled it off the frame and looked at the back, I saw this:
It’s a landscape print and I loaded it upside down! It should look like this.
Good thing my friend is a good sport about it. You can bet I will watch that more carefully next time!
Have a great day!

I bought a bunch of fabric when we visited Hawaii some years back. I made one quilt and then chopped up must of the rest into these rectangles.
I decided I needed to see what kind of distribution I had so I sorted them out.
Apparently, I added some Australian, African, and other fabrics into the mix. I’m not sure I have enough variety here. Hmmmm…
This one may have to percolate a bit longer.
Have a great day!
Well, not completely new….this was on my UFO list this year.
I had these parts leftover from a twin size quilt I made a few years ago.
I keep my leader/ender projects in my desk drawer so they are easy to grab..
At this point, I’m only sewing enough to use up the solid aqua pieces I had cut.
This should make a nice sized baby quilt. After that, I’ll think about what to do with the rest of the batik rectangles.
Have a great day!
Our time in AZ always goes by too fast. Here are some random scenes from our trip
Daughter #3 made this amazing cake for me!
Big L loved Papa’s homemade ice cream! He had four bowls!
Sweet Little L.
My beautiful grand dogs.
I did stop at SAS Fabrics, Diane! 
Daughter #3 gave me this shirt. She knows me well! 😁
Have a great day!
Remember this little guy? My mom got this doll for Christmas in the forties. All that was left was his head.
But look at him now!
Not exactly a “restoration.” I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do. His body was rubber filled with shredded foam and it disintegrated into a big, gooey, melted mess over the years.
I finally bought a kit for one of those “Real Born” dolls. Looks creepy, right?
I watched some YouTube videos on assembly and then did things my own way, as usual . I filled the limbs with these poly beads because that is what I had on hand. They are a real mess to work with!
Then added a bit of poly fil to keep the beads in the limbs and to fill the body. You use zip ties to secure the silicone arms and legs to the cloth body.
His body looks too narrow! But the limbs seem to be the right size.
And now he can be held again. This vintage baby dress fits perfectly.
You may recall that Judy gave me a lovely vintage hanger to display this dress on. It did not go to waste!
Dear Ila sent me this vintage child’s apron and I was about to go looking for another vintage hanger for it. Now I don’t have to. Isn’t this adorable?
I’m so pleased to be able to display my mom’s doll. I sent her photos and I think she was pretty happy too.
Have a great day!
After over a year, I can put a fork in it because this quilt is DONE!
This is the pantograph I used to quilt it.
I knew the quilting wouldn’t show much in the center, but I wanted it quilted close enough that there was at least one line of stitching over every single piece. This quilt has 4,860 pieces in total. The smallest squares finish at one inch.
I also wanted a pantograph that would make a good border design in the brown borders.i think the blue binding frames it nicely without clamoring for attention.
I listened to a good chunk of this while binding. I haven’t finished it yet, but it is very good so far.
This quilt is for me. It measures 98 inches square so there is a generous drop on my queen sized bed.
This next picture shows about 2/3s of the quilt. It isn’t easy to find a good place to photograph a quilt this big!
Scrap quilts are my favorites!
I’m way behind on responding to comments and for that I apologize. Life has been busy since returning from AZ and I was driven to get this quilt finished this week! Thanks for following along even when I get behind.
Have a great day!
