It’s been an age since I’ve done any hand quilting. We have a road trip coming up and I wanted to get something ready to work on during drive time.
I love this simple vintage 9 patch! It has such fun fabrics.
This quilter was not bothered by having like fabrics touching!
The plan is to baste this today and Star hand quilting.
I just need to figure out the quilting design. I want something simp,e that I don’t have to mark. maybe hanging diamonds? We shall see.
Have a great day!
Have you ever made a quilt and then wished you had made it bigger? That’s how I feel about this one.
I said goodbye to this guy this week. I got him for Christmas when I was quite young. My kids think he’s creepy. A grandpa bought him to play with his grandkids.
Willy found a comfy place to sit!
Did you know that Jeepers “duck” other jeeps as a way to say, nice ride? Oscar got ducked at Costco this week.
I’m making a half square triangle dishcloth to use up some yarn.
Have a great day!

I finally finished this little bit!
I certainly caused myself some extra work, but in the end, I do love this piece.
This backing is an old piece I had on hand. I even used it for the binding.
The crosshatch quilting is a bit of a pain to do on the long arm, but the texture makes it worth it.
A huge shoutout to Lori at Humble quilts for another wonderful quilt along. Have a great day!
Thank you to each and everyone of you, my dear readers. You have encouraged me, challenged me, laughed, and shared with me. I pray God’s richest blessings over each and every one of you.
I decided to make something from some small vintage scraps I had on hand.
Working with vintage fabric is not easy. The bits were very flimsy and worn. I starched them, but it didn’t help much. I cut them into triangles and pieced my pinwheels.
Please ignore the mismatched points! Yep, you just went and looked, didn’t you? 😂
I found a fun scrap for backing and quilted it in a hanging diamonds pattern with my walking foot.
It finished at about 6” by 9”. I used a single fold binding.
It’s a humble little bit, but I like it. Have a great day!
Yes, I know I have an unfinished project, but this has been calling to me.
I cut out these 3 1/2” squares some time ago. They are all from my stash of Denise Schmidt fabrics.
I wasn’t sure how big I wanted to make the blocks.
I think I want them pretty big.
I love the first layout. I’m not so sure about this second one. But it is fun to play.
Have a great day!
I left this upon the design wall for several days.
And an idea finally came to me when I came across this toile.
One border is added and I have one to go.
Have a great day!
My 4 patch is finally quilted.
This is the pantograph I used.
The machine stitching on the binding is done and today, I hope to get the hand stitching done.
I did finally finish knitting my dishcloth. Far from perfect, but my dishes won’t notice.
Before I go, I have to let you in on this deal from AccuQuilt .
Have a great day!

The cleaning and sorting continues. I love this little rocker that holds hand sewing tools. I’ve had it forever.
I got a new kitchen sink this week. I love it!
My Christmas decorating is done. This is it. All of it. One piece.
Though I could probably manage a tree like this.
And a bit of scientific research for you. I found it on the internet, so it must be true.
Finally, a verse I’ve been pondering this week.
Have a great day!
