This lovely old quilt belongs to my sweet MIL.

Sadly, it has a hole. I told her I’d take it home and fix it for her. So this will be my slow stitching project for today.

I’ll share more when the repair is finished.

Have a great day!

My first jigsaw puzzle of the season is done!

I love this quote.

We had a small visitor to our yard.

Have a great day!

Oh, I made this project so much more difficult than it should have been!

It’s far from perfect, but it’s done. Thankfully, I know my sweet Mother in Love is a woman full of grace.

This ended up half quilted on the long arm, and half on my Bernina. Can you tell which is which?

I’m very out of practice on the Bernina, but I didn’t have tension issues on it. Turns out my long arm tension issues were due to my ignorance in threading.

I have one other project I will be working on for her and I’ll share that soon.

Have a great day!

My sweet MIL pieced this beautiful table runner. She wasn’t happy with her machine quilting and I offered to quilt it for her.

I took it apart and loaded it up.

The stitching was beautiful!

Until it wasn’t. Did I mention I still have a lot to learn with this machine?

Time to rip….

Have a great day!

Did you guess?

In the last few years, Jeep owners have started “ducking” other Jeeps. It’s a way of saying, I love your ride! I’ve ducked other jeeps and Oscar has been ducked as well. But when I found out that AccuQuilt had a duck die, I decided to make my own!

I loaded up some yellow fabric to practice on with the new long arm. That was not by accident.

I used my practice bit to cut out quilted ducks.

I used an orange dot fabric with fusible on the back to make the wings and bills. There is an eye on the die, but I used a fabric marker to make the eyes instead.

I added a ribbon and now they are ready to go!

Have a great day!

I stopped at a quilt shop in Taos, New Mexico when we were there. I fell in love with this panel, but I have no idea what I will do with it.

I already have some of this National Park fabric. Someday I will make a quilt for Dora with it.

This was a total impulse buy, but I love it!

Still working on these woven star blocks.

I found this case at Goodwill and couldn’t leave it. No machine inside, but it probably held a Singer Model 28.

Our plants were hit hard by the record heat this past summer. But this little flower vine not only survived, it thrived!

Remember the storage unit I picked up for my small studio dies? I found another one!

But this second one came with two sets of alphabet dies as well!

Have a great day!
