I finished the quilt for my friend, Zenia, and loaded another for her.

Before that, I finished my Sajou top and got that quilted. Now I need to decide on binding fabric. These are my top choices right now.

Have a great day!

My friend Zenia from A Quilted Passion made this cute top that I’m quilting today.

I’m using this panto from Urban Elementz .

I don’t know that pattern for this top, but it looks like it could all be made with this chisel die from Accuquilt .

Feels good to be back at the frame!

Have a great day!

The last clue for the little QAL hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts came out last Wednesday. We were to add triangles around the outside edge, like this.

This is what it would have looked like. I wanted Abe to not lean quite so much, so I decided to add enough triangles to boost him upright.

I cut into this long hoarded layer cake….

…to make corners like this.

I used this die from Accuquilt to cut my triangles.

So this is where I’m at now. It doesn’t feel finished, but my goal is to get it done by Friday.

I think Lori felt bad that some people would have their centers a bit off kilter as mine was. I think it is a good thing. While my quilt has veered off from the quilt along plan, I’m making something I love. And I never would have made this had I not joined in the QAL. It feels like one of those alternate ending deals. I’m not the only one that went down a bit of a different path. You will get to see the others when Lori posts the linky party on Friday.

Have a great day!

Someone on Instagram issued a 50 day hand quilting challenge. This was just the kick I needed to get back to it!

I’ve also made a very tiny bit of progress on my hand appliqué project.

Looks pretty bad in this picture, but only a tiny bit of that big leaf is done. So hopefully it will improve.

Have a great day!

Daughter #2 is in town for a visit, so I’ve not taken any time for sewing.

I’ll get back into the sewing room soon enough.

Have a great weekend!

I found this panel recently. It will go on the back of a quilt for Little L, who is fascinated with the planets.

E2 decided he needed a tag for his back pack since E1 had one.

I made a few jars of salsa.

And I made pj pants for Little L….

And Big L.

And I remembered to add my tags!

I picked up this book recently. Lots of great ideas here.

Have a great day!

Here are the pieces for Clue #5 for the Military Mystery hosted by Alycia at Alycia Quilts.

I used this Accuquilt die to cut my 2 1/2 inch strips and then sub cut with my rotary cutter and ruler.

This is how they go together.

Simple half log cabin block.

I’d like to say I’m done with this clue, but I actually have another 18 blocks to finish. Better get moving!

Have a great day!

Remember that housewarming quilt? I had a plan, changed my mind, made another plan, changed my mind…. I decided to open this fat quarter bundle.

I came up with this improv piece.

I wasn’t sure I liked it and thought about doing this instead.

Since I was really running out of time, I just went ahead and put it on the frame.

I did get this done in the nick of time. I will share this finish on Friday.

Have a great day!
