My beloved friend, Friday, has been adopted.
I still have Harry 2 out in Arizona.
I may keep looking for a new home for him as well. I told myself, if I sold them both, I could get something new.
I tried out a few at the AQS show last fall, but there are a few more I want to try before making a decision. I’m in no rush. I’ll have plenty of unpacking to do when we get back to AZ.
Have a great day.
I picked up this weird piece of fabric at Goodwill.
It kind of hurts my eyes!
The last puzzle I finished in AZ.
I love eating outside! I’m ready to do this again soon.
This was my top nine photos from Instagram last year.
Have a great day!
I did most of the stitching on this while sitting with the mister when he watched TV. It was a fun little make!
In the next photo, you can see the stitching I originally did in the red triangle. I hated it. I stitched the rest and then took that part out.
This is what I ended up with. Much better. I did find that random stitching like this is harder than it looks.
And it looks terrible on the back! Yuck!
But overall, I rather like this little bit. It finished at about 7 by 10 inches.
The texture is wonderful.
Have a great day!
I can’t believe this was ten years ago already! Hope you enjoy this little look back. Have a great day!

Remember the beautiful quilt top that Mr. Wonderful bought me for Christmas?
Well, it is finished!
I’m so pleased with how it turned out. It is approximately 76 inches square.
They say things get worse before they get better. I’m beginning to see “better”!
Some progress has been made.

Just don’t look at the rest of the room!
Mr. Wonderful and I have been back in Michigan working on getting our house ready to sell.
We feel a bit like Noah getting the ark ready. We are packing, but have no idea what comes next or where we will land.
Have a great day!
Here is Part 2 sharing the small quilts I completed this past year.
Have a great day!
This is another table runner I made using this June Tailor Quilt As You Go kit from AccuQuilt .
I wanted something bright and fun, so I broke out this jelly roll of Kona solids.
There were so many options, I had a hard time deciding!
Here is the back.
Ta daaaa!
There are so many Quilt As You Go options on the AccuQuilt site. You should try one out! They have kits for bags, placemats, quilts etc.
Have a great day!

My dear friend, Z, sent me this little quilt top. It had been given to her. It measures about 40 inches square. Isn’t it sweet?
The marking for quilting has already been done, lovely feathers everywhere! But fairly difficult to see.
My hand quilting is not good, that’s why I generate stick to all over designs. But I think I’m going to give this a go. I think it deserves to be finished.
Have a great day!
I learned something recently. Chartreuse is not always chartreuse. I ran out of chartreuse for my temperature quilt at the end of November and I knew I’d need to find some before I started working on December.
I went to a very large quilt shop here in Phoenix and bought a fat quarter of Kona Chartreuse. But it didn’t look right.
I bought it, thinking it has to be right. But before I left the parking lot, I looked it up on my phone.
Nope, definitely not the same. I was baffled, until I noticed at the very top, that this is Moda Bella Solids, NOT Kona. Duh. I went back in the store. I asked if they carried Moda solids and they said they only had a few bolts left. One of those was chartreuse! Woo hoo! See the difference?
I was so happy, I bought a whole yard!
Yep, that’s exactly what I needed!
Have a great day!
I made some more tiny 9 patches, but I think I’m done.
If I go with the quilt along, I’ll make 3” blocks. So I made 7 and turned them into a tiny 5 by 8 inch quilt.
I love this backing fabric!
It looks good with my Federation Baby toy sewing machine.
You can read a bit about it here.
Have a great day!
