KatyQuilts

I mentioned that my parents are visiting this week. That led to a bit of rearranging. I decided they would be most comfortable in the master bedroom, so I moved myself and my sewing stuff to the guest room. Here is the view from the door.

Since I needed the mattress to sleep on, I bought some Command hooks to hang up my design wall. 

I made this quilt for Daughter #2 back when she finished her year of serving in Americorps.

I am enjoying the luxury of watching TV while I sew. I’m hooked on Acorn TV, a subscription service showing all Britiśh shows. I’m working my way through a series called Where the Heart Is.

Also, I am woefully behind on responding to comments and I apologize for that. Please know that I read and appreciate each and every one, even if I am unable at times to respond to them all.

Have a great day!

I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday working on Scrappy Trip blocks.

I’m getting quite a pile now. I hope to finish these soon. As you can see, I had a lot of help.

I took a break in the afternoon and checked out an antique store. I have seen very few vintage quilts out here, but this one had some interesting ones. This one was in great shape.

The others were really worn, but very interesting. This one looked like a pieced album block, but now the fabrics were all the same color.

It had a name on it.

Love that green fabric! I also loved the colors in this bear paw.

Sadly, there was so room to lay these out. This last one was the most worn, but it was my favorite.

In some places, only the quilting was holding it together. The stories these beauties could tell!

Have a great day!

Thanks to the great kindness of a blog reader, Ila, I have been able to replenish my supplies of scrappy Civil War rectangles for my leader/ended project! 

I’m mingling the new scraps with the ones I still had. 

Zenia, from A Quilted Passion, came over for a sew day yesterday! Such fun! I worked on a few more of my Scrappy Trip blocks.

On Sunday, Big E and Little E were dedicated at church. I was able to watch it all because a friend shared it via Facebook Live!
 

I’ve sure been enjoying time with Little L. 

And Big L!

Have a great day!

Remember these?

I cut these out ages ago. I brought them with me and started throwing them up on the design wall.

It needs a lot of  tweaking yet. But at least I have a helper.

Have a great day!

I wasn’t going to bring my Blueberry Park scraps with me, but at the last minute, I threw them in the suitcase. I used an EZ Dresden ruler to cut them into these shapes.

They became these fan blades.the spool of thread is to show the size. They are quite small.

Today, I want to appliqué these to the background squares.

Then I need to figure out what to do with those corners.

Have a great day!
