I thought I’d make a couple of these blocks every day. It hasn’t worked out that way. In an effort to make some progress, I decided I would do ten this time.

I’d kind of forgotten how messy paper foundation piecing can be.

But I sure do love these blocks!

Have a great day!

I decided to go ahead and hand quilt this little doll quilt. Jean was right, it was begging for it!

I’m starting by just stitching in the ditch.

Then I stitched in between those rows.

Now I’m trying to decide if I should add more. It’s a one inch grid now, should I go to a half inch grid? Hmmmm….

It’s very relaxing. I hope I can find enough of something for a binding.

Have a great day!

We are getting some foggy mornings at the camp lately.

Mr. Wonderful is into Dad jokes. I sent him these.

This would be a horror flick for Winslow and Willy!

A bit of wisdom.

Have a great day!

Here is another post from ten years ago. I was visiting Arizona at the time. This little quilt was made from a charm pack. You can click here to see how I made my little nine patches. Enjoy!

Here are pictures of my finished little 9 patch quilt. 

I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I finished stitching the binding on the plane last Friday.

I can’t believe I have been here 6 days already! I miss my hubby and family back home but I am having so much fun with family here.

Here is a shot showing the back.

Have a great day!

I’ve been neglecting these little bits, so it was time to get back to them.

I pieced all that I had made into rows. I have two more chunks like this pieced, but I can’t seem to find them. Ugh.

This may look like a jumbled mess, but it’s the next 50 or so little 9 patches all sorted and ready to sew.

It’s actually a really good RV project since it’s so tiny. The squares in the 9 patches finish at 1/2 inch.

Have a great day!

I cut up a bunch of charms out of my African fabric stash last spring. I had a couple charm packs of solid black to pair with them.

And I’ve finally gotten around to sewing them!

The rows are all sewn, just double checking placement on my design bed.

Have a great day!

I bought this half hexie die from AccuQuilt a while back.

It is perfect for layer cakes and I had one in my stash here.

You can cut three layer cake squares at a time, folding them in half so you get six half hexies with each pass and very little waste.

I pitched the tiny strips, but the triangles are saved for a future project.

I’m not ready to piece this yet, it might be tough without a design wall. But I love having things kitted up and ready.

Now for the helpful hint! After posting this:

I received this comment from a lovely reader:

Who knew? Thanks for sharing!

Have a great day!

Daughter #1, SIL, and the three Es spent the day with us at the campground. We packed as much fun in as we could.

I think fishing was the best part. All three boys caught fish, but their Mama caught the most!

E3 enjoyed the worms. 😂

E1 helped cook.

We went on a hayride.

E3 thought he was big stuff sitting up on Oscar.

The zipline got a thumb’s up!

Lots of fun memories from this day. Have a good one!
