Flying Fish Finish

Posted on September 3, 2024 by katyquilts

Oh, these have been fun!

I placed them on my design bed and worked on a layout. I miss my wall!

And this is what I ended up with.

I quite like the riot of color. It will get folded and put away for now.

Have a great day!

Flying Fish

Posted on September 2, 2024 by katyquilts

Remember these pieces I cut?

I cut them using the Go! Flying Fish die from AccuQuilt .

While sitting at the laundromat, I sorted my pieces and clipped them together into block kits.

When we got back to Dora, I was ready to sew.

Here are some of the pieces.

I’m not sure where I’m headed with this. But that’s all part of the fun, right?

Have a great day!

August Wrap-Up

Posted on September 1, 2024 by katyquilts

I only managed one complete finish and two small tops this month. But since we sold our home and moved out, I’m considering that a win.

This next one wasn’t finished this month, but the pattern was released so I can finally share it this month.

Seriously, my little bits of sewing time were truly necessary therapy this month.

Have a great day!

This and That

Posted on August 31, 2024 by katyquilts

Oh, Willy Boy! I don’t know why he has his tongue hanging out so often.

As of August 16th, Mr. Wonderful and I have been married 38 years. He’s the best!

I thought this was hilarious!

A good reminder….😂

Throwback Thursday ~ Dear Betty

Posted on August 29, 2024 by katyquilts

It’s hard to believe I finished this back in 2016! Time sure flies. Enjoy!

It all started with this Christmas gift from Daughter #1.

I immediately loved it, but it took me a while to find the perfect pattern for it. I finally settled on this traditional Rolling Star pattern.

These blocks are a whopping 18 inches finished. I wanted the fabrics to really shine here.

I need a good place to hang a big quilt for pictures!

I used my pattern boards to quilt this with a Baptist Fan design. Here is the backing, it is part of a duvet cover I found on clearance. The pattern and color were perfect!

I just love the texture that the quilting gives.

I used Superior Mono-poly thread on top and white magna Glide Classic in the bobbin. It is currently living in my guest room.

Sorry for the picture overload, but I love this texture!

I love leaving the door open and walking by this room.

I didn’t end up using all the fabrics in that bundle, so another quilt from this will be coming somewhere down the road.

Still Making Progress…

Posted on August 28, 2024 by katyquilts

Are you tired of this yet? I am! But I have found that my setup here isn’t really conducive to working on more than one project at a time. So here we are.
