KatyQuilts

The quilts at QuiltCon were amazing! The featured quilter was Tara Faughnan. Here are some of the quilts from her exhibit.

The tiny stripes were actually fused.

I was surprised to see that she often quilts with metallic thread. They were all lovely.

Have a great day!

We continue to enjoy exploring Arizona.

We love hunting for rocks, hiking, and going off road in Oscar.

I don’t know what this next stone is, but it is one of the first I have tumbled.

The white stones below are chalcedony. The brown are agates.

Have a great day!

I couldn’t agree more….

Ugh, George’s eye is missing. Still a fun puzzle with lots of presidents hidden in the scene.

I loved this one too.

However, one missing piece and two extras? Weird.

I found a yard of my favorite print at Goodwill for $1.49!

My kids always used to tell, “Shotgun!” When it was time to go somewhere.

Have a great day!

These have been getting a bit of attention here and there. Have I mentioned that I find log cabin blocks very boring to make? 🥴

I finished 25 of my 100 blocks so I could get some motivation to finish the rest.

I need to add one strip each to the last 75 blocks. I could finish in an afternoon. At least that’s what I tell myself.

Have a great day!

I decided to call this Feed Sack Chain due to the fabrics I’m using. I sewed a bunch of pieces and pressed them all while I was on the phone.

I used every bit of the 30 inch piece of this background fabric. I just love it.

Here are a couple possible layouts. The color is more true in the photo above than those below.

Have a great day!

Please forgive me for the bum links in my deal post yesterday! They should be working now and while the flash sales for Fat Quarter Shop Flash Sale are different today, all the other sales/deals are the same.

Accuquilt Deals deals can be found at this link.

Also, is anyone going to QuiltCon this week?

I’ll be there on Thursday! If you see me, tap me on the shoulder to say hi! I’ll be carrying this lovely bag made by my dear MIL.

And though I hate photos of myself, this is what I look like. 😁

Have a great day!

When you are stuck on one project, why not start another?

I’ve been wanting to use some of my feedsack scraps to make something using the AccuQuilt GO! Friendship Chain Die.

I really wanted to use this orange solid, but I had less than a yard. I went for it anyway.

My pieces are cut and I did a little sewing to play.

Here are a few layout options.

You can see another small quilt I made using the same die here.

This seems like a nice little distraction at least. Have a great day!

I’ve been remiss in sharing the current deals out there. Check out these deals from AccuQuilt ! What great deals on these two starter sets!

Have a great day and happy shopping!

So here it is. I’m underwhelmed. I thought I would stop here.

But now I wonder if there is anything I can do to improve it. I don’t have anymore of that brown floral.

I do have this.

I bought this over 30 years ago and love it just as much now as I did then.

It would go, but do I want to sacrifice this for a quilt that is just so so? I have enough of this for borders of a large quilt. Or to make a strip quilt. I thought flying geese between. Ugh.

Just grabbed a few more border possibilities.

I don’t think I like any of these; however, I think a border is what this quilt needs.

I’m off to shop the stash. Have a great day!
