Did you guess that this was the block I was working on for the Fat Quarter Shop quilt along?
I’m really loving these! The free pattern for these Union Square blocks is available on their web site.
This next photo shows my two choices for alternate blocks .
Also, thank you all for the lovely comments about Winslow! I’m sure you are not surprised that I am behind on responding to comments. 😁 She is settling in well.
Have a great day!

Meet my new puppy, Winslow!
She is a Bichon/Yorkie/Coton de Tulear mix and she was born February 1st.
I’m quite smitten with this sweet face! You will get lots of puppy spam in the coming weeks!
Time to play with my tiny girl! Have a good one!
I’ve been working on Quilts of Valor for my Stitching Sisters QOV group this week. As usual, I’m just quilting these and have NO info on patterns. this first top was pieced by Pat.
The panto for the above quilt is called Worm Trails and I had it custom made to be 16 inches wide. It is available from Urban Elementz .
This next one was pieced by Mary Kay.
This panto is also fromUrban Elementz and it is called Amoebas Gone Wild. I also ordered this one in a 16 inch size.

Have a great day!

I finished this up Wednesday night and planned to take pictures Thursday morning. Mother Nature had other plans.
I headed to the west side of the state Thursday afternoon to visit Daughter #3 and it was raining when I left home, so I took it with me hoping for better weather along the way. It rained almost all the way there. But about ten minutes from her house, the clouds parted, the rain stopped, and I was able to get pics on her fence!
The quilting lines are very close. I’ve heard this called matchstick quilting. It takes forever, but I think it’s worth it for a piece like this. I used a facing instead of a binding to finish the edges.
There is a local art show coming up and this will be one of my entries. I need to get moving on the other one!
Gosh, I love her fence!
Have a great day!
I’ve been working on another Fat Quarter Shop Remix project. I’m using these fabrics from al older Paula Barnes line called Carolina Blues.
I used these dies from Accuquilt along with my die cutter to cut my pieces.
Here they all are! I love a pretty pan of pieces!
And here are bits of the first few blocks.
These take a while to make, but I’ve enjoyed the process.
Have a great day!

I’m trying to decide how I want to lay these blocks out.
Maybe I’ll just have to make more.
Have a great day!
I decided to play with these free pieced curves.
There are so many things you can do with them. Piecing them is easier than you think. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial. Not that I’m an expert, but I’m getting better at it.
Just doing it 16 times, you learn a few things.
This is not the final layout….at least I don’t think so.
Back to the play room. Have a great day!
Sometimes, staring at a bin full of fabric can be about like looking at a blank piece of drawing paper. You suddenly freeze and can’t think of where to even start! So in looking through my hand dyed stash, I pulled out some bits and pieces that I had begun and abandoned for one reason or another.
I need to pick one and just start messing around and see where it leads.
Have a great day!
I am finally getting to the edge!
Still have a long way to go, but this feels like a milestone. I turned it over to revel in my progress and found this:
Ugh. It appears I’ve missed a few spots. This isn’t the only place either. 🙄
Oh, well. Moving along. Have a great day!
Way back when I started this blog, I used to do quite a bit of hand dyeing of fabric. I still have quite a stockpile.
I love dyeing fabrics, because you never really know what you will end up with. There is a huge element of surprise.
I want to get back into working with these again.
I can’t believe how long it has been since I dug through these bins.
It’s about time to play in these again. Have a good one!
