This and That

Another week has flown by! I’m happy to say the box pile has been somewhat reduced. My sewing room is much more crowded than I like though.

I picked this book up at Goodwill and I have been really enjoying it.

I finished a great puzzle this week. Sadly, it was missing a couple pieces.

I saw this and it really made me think.

Happy Mail!

Have a great weekend!

Finish It Up Friday ~ JT Pillows

This was a fun project and very quick!

Here are my three pillow tops, all made with my hand dyed fabric.

This is the envelope style backing.

Ta daaa!

I know the colors aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it works in my southwest home.

Have a great day!

Quilting the 9 Patch

I added borders and loaded this on the frame.

I decided Baptist Fans would look good on this. And they did!

Until I messed up the alignments. That lead to some grumbling and ripping.

But it’s now done and ready for binding.

Have a great day!

Pillow Progress

I chose my fabrics and got started on my June Tailor pillow kit. ! I decided to use some of my long hoarded hand dyes.

These kits are similar to foundation paper piecing, except the lines are for fabric placementment, not sewing lines.

It’s basically a flip and sew technique.

Ta daaa!

Time to finish this up! You can find this and other June Tailor kits by clicking here.

BTW, if you bought an AccuQuilt Cutter and never opened the box, or you are unsure what to do with it, I’ve got a perfect solution for you!

Something New

As some of you may know, June Tailor became part of AccuQuilt last year. They sent me this fun kit for making pillows so I could share the process with all of you!

The kit has pattern directions and this batting, printed with seam lines on it.

I’m thinking about a color palette similar to this small quilt that I made a few years ago in a quilt along hosted by Lori of Humble Quilts.

Now to try and find that fabric! Wish me luck!

Have a great day!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! We are having Daughter #2 and SIL over later to watch the game (and commercials!). I plan to work on this during the game.

I know it’s hard to see, but I did get quite a lot done while driving back from Michigan.

I’d really like to get this wrapped up soon. Have a great day!

This and That

Need a free pattern for a Valentine quilt? This one I wrote for AccuQuilt is under the free patterns tab on their site.

This just made me laugh!

I’m a real introvert so this doesn’t seem like a bad idea sometimes. 😂

Finished another puzzle this week. It’s a shame that a piece was missing.

And lastly, I have a book recommendation.

I learned a lot about women in WW2 that served our soldiers by driving Red Cross club mobiles. They served coffee and donuts along with a warm smile and taste of home.

Before I go, I noticed this fun deal from Connecting Threads.

I’ve always had really good service from Connecting Threads . Their prices are great as well, so this is just an added perk!

Have a great day!

Friday

No finishes for me this week! I did get all my 9 patches together.

I think it needs a border yet. I hope to get that done and get it loaded on Harry this weekend.

Have a great weekend!
