The mister was working at Daughter #2s house and I made myself work on these borders.

It was no small feat, but it is done. You can see in the photo below how huge this quilt is.

I also figured out a backing. I picked up this solid yellow. Sadly, I have to piece three lengths to get a piece big enough. Wish me luck.

Have a great day!

I’ve been struggling with borders for this top. I need to add borders to get this up to king size.

I found the fabric on the far right. It is the first fabric I bought this year. The blue was in my stash. I will use it for the inner border.

Now I need to find the motivation to cut and sew these.

Have a great day!

I now have four blocks finished.

And the next four are cut out.

I really have no idea how many of these I will make. Once I have this next group made, I may play around with some layouts.

Have a great day!

I’ve decided this definitely needed a border. I’ve tried out so many pieces from my stash, and this is the best I could come up with.

This is the pantograph I’m using.

Let’s get this thing done!

Have a great day!

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!
