Remember these?

I pieced these in the RV. I had miscounted when I cut and was short by 54 blue rectangles. I finally cut them out.

It won’t take long to get the last few blocks pieced now.

I just have to figure out the next step.

Have a great day!

Remember this little top? It was time to quilt it.

This machine feels so different from the others I’ve had.

Not perfect, but no tension issues! Today I plan to hand stitch this facing down.

Have a great day!

We stopped by the library this week. They didn’t have a lot of quilting books, but these looked interesting.

I got some deals at the local thrift shop last week!

I got everything in the two photos above for $8.

Another puzzle, sadly it is missing a piece.

This made me giggle.

It’s been an expensive week around here.

Two new AC units.

Then this happened:

Matilda the Mini is in the shop. 😭

But God is still good. 😊

Have a great day!

Can you see my repair? It sticks out like a sore thumb.

This is a reminder of what it looked like to begin with.

I started by appliquéing a piece of fabric on the back. I can’t find my bin of feed sacks, so this older muslin had to do.

This is what it looked like from the front.

I tucked in a piece of cotton batting.

And appliquéd this piece over the top.

The next step was to try to replicate the quilting.

My stitches aren’t near as fine as the original, but I had many more layers to go through.

It’s far from perfect and clearly visible, but now it’s part of the quilt’s story.

Have a great day!

I think I ended up with about 24 four inch hearts from my table runner.

I used this die from AccuQuilt to cut the hearts.

Then I add a ribbon and label and it’s ready to go!

I made a bunch of these last spring and left them here and there all summer. It’s just a fun little way to spread some smiles.

I finally loaded this table runner up and quilted it. I hate the quilting.

But the tension is great! I think I’m going to cut it up into hearts. I have no use for this table runner anyway.

I loaded up a good size piece of backing so I could quilt this as well.

I just have to decide how I want to quilt it.

Have a great day!

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!
