KatyQuilts

I cut these pieces last summer out of a layer cake I had laying around.

I used this die from AccuQuilt .

I decided it was time to put this together. Looks like I need to cut a few more pieces first.

Stay tuned. I’ll be sharing some great tips for a quilt like this soon.

Have a great day!

I finally got this vintage top basted. I love basting quilts on the long arm.

This is what I plan to use for the quilting.

Maybe it will be done in time for Valentine’s Day?

Have a great day!

Mister Wonderful and I have been exploring our new state. We did a bit of off-roading and found this.

I’m fascinated by the history here.

The headstone above was the biggest one there, for a child under three.

Most were outlined in rocks and their names are known only to God now.

Such a difficult life they must have led.

Have a great day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Here are a few more Christmas quilts made in years past. They have all been gifted long ago, but it’s still fun to look back.

Have a great day!

“In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭14‬ ‭NRSV‬‬

I shared this last year on Christmas Eve. It has meant so much to me, that I just might share it every year! It is from Hannah Brenchler.

Life has been busy and I’ve been in the mood for a small project. So I went to my Pinterest boards and picked something. Here is my fabric pull.

I used my 6” AccuQuilt Qube.

Can you see where I’m going here?

I hope to finish this week.

Have a great day!

I was not familiar with the work of Philip C. Curtis before seeing his work at the museum. I think this may have been my favorite exhibit there. So whimsical!

This information is from the Philip C. Curtis Trust website:

Philip Campbell Curtis is called a surrealist or magic realism painter.  His difficult to categorize, vibrantly colored works leaves the viewer playfully with more questions than answers.  The imaginary scenes he created blend the desert landscape of Arizona with memories of growing up in Victorian era Jackson, Michigan.  Each painting tells a story and invites the viewer to enter an imaginary world where his dreams and his imagination met.

Have a great day!
