I had a really hard time choosing my second entry for BQF hosted by Amy at Amy’s Creative Side . I finally settled on this quilt that I made for Daughter #3 and SIL for their wedding shower.
Most of the prints are from Tim Holtz’ lines.
The background is Grunge, but I cannot tell you the color name.
I freehand the quilting. I hoped to give it the look of a topographical map.

It’s time once again for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy at Amy’s Creative Side.
Long time readers will have seen this quilt before, but it remains one of my favorite finishes this year so I decided to share it again for BQF.
This was made entirely from solid scraps that I cut up using my tumbler die from Accuquilt.
Make sure you use the link above to head over to Amy’s to see all the other beautiful quilts!
Have a great day!

fThis arrived on my doorstep recently!
These first two pieces are quite out of character for me, but they are for a certain little girl I know.
I’ve been wanting a bundle of this line for a while.
This was the daily deal.
And I thought this was beautiful. Honestly, I wasn’t quite as thrilled when I saw it in person. I’m not sure why.
I hope you all enjoy some happy Mail this week too!
I decided to make my machine quilted piece and turn it into a table runner.
I’m really happy with how it turned out!
Have a great day!
I’m trying to decide how I will quilt the border of this quilt. I used my no longer available Adobe Ideas app to try a few things out. I’m not good at drawing with my finger!
Don’t laugh but this next one is supposed to be a cable!
Whatever design I use, it will be adjusted so that the quilting density is similar to that in the body of the quilt.
Once again, I apologize for not responding to comments. I’m spending the week with my mom.
Have a great day!
We have a winner!
Congratulations to Cathy Bremer! I’ve contacted you via e-mail. Thanks to everyone for playing along!
Have a great day!
Over Labor Day weekend, Mr. Wonderful and I visited Fish Town in Leland, Michigan. Here is a blurb from the web site which explains better than I can.
Northern Michigan’s commercial fishing heritage remains alive today in Leland’s Fishtown! Walk along the docks, amongst the weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, racks of drying fishing nets, and fish tugs on the Leland River, and you can imagine what it would have been like in the early 1900s to live and work in this small fishing village, nestled along the shore of Lake Michigan. Fishtown still operates as one of the only working commercial fishing villages in the state of Michigan.
It is a very picturesque place to visit. Here are some photos I took.
It was actually quite crowded and took some waiting and cropping to get photos without people!
Have a great day!
Here is the finished bab quilt that I gave to my friend at her shower last weekend.
I quilted swirls on the sides and continuous curve in the parallelograms.
I managed to e p enough matching fabrics for a pieced back.
It’s so nice when you can make the whole thing from stash!
Have a great day!

I finished quilting my batik rectangles quilt and I’m on to the binding stage.
I decided to bind this practice piece to make a table runner.
And I haven’t forgotten my leader/ended project. I’m up to 117 of these 6 inch blocks.
I started my 4 patches for the Humble Quilts QAL.
I needed 2 inch cut squares. There is more waste than I would like using a charm pack for this, but it did save me a lot of time.
This is the die I used. It took me about 2 minutes to accurately cut 168 2 inch squares. For me, that makes that amount of waste totally worth it.

I’ve been flitting from one thing to another this week. I finally have this on the frame.
Before I loaded that, I had some leftover backing on the frame and decided to play with some free motion ideas.
I used this Fantastico variegated thread from Superior Threads.
Since this piece is long and narrow, I suppose it could become a table runner.
Also, have you heard that Lori at Humble Quilts has just started another of her famous quilt alongs? I usually go scrappy for these. But I’m thinking about using this charm pack with a couple added fat quarters this time.
Time to get to work!
Have a great day!
