Heard Museum ~ Pottery and Sculpture

More images from the Heard Museum. So much quilty inspiration!

I loved this sculpture….perhaps because I so relate to this. 😂

This too was a favorite. A beautiful piece capturing all the emotions of motherhood.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Tuesday ~ Woven Hearts Quilt

My quilt for the Fat Quarter Shop Woven Hearts Quilt Along is done!

I used Ginghams from Lori Holt.

The intense sun can do funky things with photos here.

I knew I wanted to do some graffiti style quilting in the negative space, but I am seriously out of practice!

Things got better toward the bottom of the quilt.

Love this gingham binding.

And this giant gingham backing!

This quilt finished at 70 by 70 inches.

Have a great day!

Kitting Up

I decided to work on kitting up this quilt. I think it would be a good RV project for next summer, if I can make myself wait that long to work on it!

So it’s time to tackle cutting these up.

The first quilt I made used 2 1/2” cut squares, but perhaps I should go smaller this time.

I have this bin of print squares already cut.

And I need to process these scraps.

Just cutting will take a while; I will probably work on this in bits and pieces here and there.

Have a great day!

Slow Stitching Sunday

I finished the quilting on my Woven Stars project for FQS. I made lots of binding so I could use some for another project.

I’m glad to have my Bernina handy for binding again.

I hope to finish the hand stitching today. I had to share a photo of this corner. How often does that happen?

Have a great day!

A Few of my Favorite Things!

Last week I got up early with the pups and was rewarded with these beautiful skies!

I will never tire of a cactus bloom, especially when it is in my front yard!

The mister and I went to our favorite German restaurant recently. It was even better than I remembered.

I finished another puzzle! White Mountain puzzles are my favorite.

While in Central Phoenix, we stopped at my favorite fabric store.

This is what came home with me. Most will be used for backings.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Improv Log Cabin

My improv log cabin is done.

I had intended to quilt a random grid, but ended up deciding to just add a few grids here and there.

A facing seemed like a more appealing finish than a binding for this piece,

It finished at about 37 inches square.

Have a great day!

Throwback Thursday ~ Hexies

We are traveling today, so here is a finish from five years ago. Enjoy!

I started piecing the first flower for this on my way to Iceland last April.

I quilted this on the long arm using a light gray thread.

I’m so pleased with the background choice!

I’ve had the backing fabric in my stash for a long time.

A while back I made a bunch of this binding as I knew it would work for so many quilts. It was perfect for this one.

Willy gave it his sniff of approval.

Now I just have to decide where to hang it. Have a great day

What should I work on next?

As a break from the deadline projects, I started poking around my project bins to think about what I should focus my attention on next.

I made a few of these last spring.

And I never decided on a plan for these.

I totally forgot about these tumblers.

This box is leftover solid scraps from my sewing room in Michigan.

I’m thinking about cutting these into squares to make another quilt like this one.

Hmmm…..I have quite a few more things laying around as well.

Have a great day!

Fence Rail Progress

I’ve been madly sewing over here, but I haven’t much I can show you. I have three deadline projects at the moment. I have worked a little bit on this.

I have a whole four blocks done! Mostly as leaders/enders.

No idea how big this will get, but I’ll keep plugging along.

Have a great day!
